$35 for 4 10" gate hinges. Drove the pins out and use one complete hinge per door. I used self drilling metal screws to secure them. The top contact surface of the hinges need to be about 12-1/8" apart where the door hinges will rest. Not pictured but I use 48" bungee straps to keep the doors in line with the poles. Also cut a pool noodle to protect the sharp edge of the metal. Works great.

Would you mind posting a close-up shot of the way the door goes into these? Thanks.

I lay outdoor couch cushions on the floor and set the doors on them, leaning against my table saw and a cushion between the front and back doors.

It’s been working for me since about 2015. Now my TJ with mailbox lid scratches all over the door, I just put them in the back with a hoodie between them.

I think plenty have answered but I will say (from my JK days) be careful hanging them from the horizontal cross-member of the door. I have and many others have run into issues with the hanger permanently deforming the seal on the door, leading to dripping when the door is on. I cant say this happens with the JT but its something to keep in mind...

I installed these last night and, once I figured it all out, took my maiden voyage with no doors. Definitely need a good solution for side mirrors now. But if I'm gonna do that, I may as well get some cool half doors.... lol -- there's always a next thing, right? Anyway, it's worth noting the obvious -- that lower hinge is positioned pretty far down the length of the door -- I'd have installed this whole thing a little lower if I did it again.

Newbie jeep owner and love taking the doors off, but I haven’t found a good storage solution for the doors.

What are efficient ways to store the doors with limited garage space?
Put them in your bed and sleep on the couch.

I love my Lange Coyote mirrors. They look great and keep you legal, but they are admittedly limited in function.

I've seen those -- They're pretty round, right? I always thought that must be weird sticking out of the side what is otherwise a big box from every angle. I'll check some photos though -- they're definitely popular so I must be missing something.

I like that they're minimalistic and I think the round shape works well with the head/fog lights.
