How do i take the doors off my 2000 Jeep Wrangler?

Question

Its a 2000 TJ Wrangler and i have no idea how to take the doors off. The instruction manual is really vague so please help.

Answer 1

I have an 02 Wrangler and Im sure its the same for yours.  Each door (assuming you have full or half doors) has two hinge posts.  There is a nut at the bottom of each post.  Just remove the two nuts and lift the door upward.  I find sometimes you have to rock the door back and forth a little while lifting up.

Answer 2

There a nut on each of the hinge pins (like a 12 mm I think) take them off and the doors should lift wright off with the door opened. Mine were a little hard to remove the first time, so I squirted in a little oil, and wiggled them up and down until they slid loose.  If you have the full doors, roll down the windows, and reach through and grab under the door to lift, lift from a little foward center of the door or it will bind.

Answer 3

Spray hinges with wd-40, take bolts off bottom of hinges. Let lubricant soak on hinges a while. Lift doors up from the bottom. If doors don't lift up easily spray more lube on hinges and try later. Doors can be a pain to remove if they haven't been off before. Use care when removing hinge bolts as not to scratch paint on doors. When you put doors back on, grease hinges so doors come off easy next time.
