I'm sure this would be apparent if I actually had my Gladiator, but I'm still waiting and want to get as much install/assembly done before my Jeep gets here.

putting the hinges on my Hooke Tube Doors, instructions aren't real clear. I have 4 hinges that are a bit longer, and 4 that are a bit shorter.

Are the longer hinges for the 2 front doors, or are they for the hinges on all 4 doors, or how do they go?

Also, 2 longer limit straps, and 2 shorter ones, the 2 longer ones got on the front doors I'm assuming?

If it's the hinge pins that are longer, the idea is for each door to have a long pin and a short pin. That way you don't have to line up both the top and bottom pins at the same time when installing the doors. Line up the long pin first then after it's in a little, line up the short pin.

Makes perfect sense, thanks!
