This is a great video, I have a 92 XJ and the driver's door hinge finally came off from the body side. Its in storage because she was rear ended in 2020, but I'm slowly replacing items and repairing the damage as I go. I miss my Jeep (306+k miles)
My 92 XJ is suffering from the same issue with its driver door, the body side of the hinge came right off the body. Happy to see a video of that repair.
The little wheel in my ZJ door hinge has seen 180k miles and looks ruff, has a little click too...but she's still functioning! .... the 4.0 still purrs like a kitten with the Rotella T6... Dan H. deserves more subscribers than 18.6k ... always great content.
Thanks for putting this video out. I have four new to me doors to strip, dejunk and install. Wasn't sure what to do with the hinges until I watched this. Thanks!
Love this! Lazarus II has a driver door that the last guy replaced, and it has about a 1/4" gap at the top... I'm going to try this technique once the weather warms up!
@@ProjectDanH I'm glad I saved every last shred of Lazarus I - I have a whole bunch of shims now, so that shouldn't be a problem, I can imagine how they would make all the difference!
@@ProjectDanH right. Watching an xj build take shape is always good time’s. Can’t wait to really get to work on my channel. But for now I’ll just kick back for some popcorn and enjoy yours. Keep killing it. 😎😎😎👍👍👍👊
Many of Expeditions flipped over back in the day they didn't center the chassis with the wheelbase . I'm glad pops is okay and wrecked J gets a second chance at life .
I only had to weld the actual hinge to the door.. the pin did not need welding.. but if you want to practice welding I used a harbor freight flux core that only cost $120
Mostly because I couldn’t get a T45 in there to get it just right…the drilling part was dicey till I realized it was better to cut the plastic sleeves off then drill…
Nice job Dan.That really sucks about your Dad,thank GOD he didn't get hurt...👍👍👊
Yeah seriously, only about 10 stitched in his left elbow.. coulda been worse! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Nice work Dan H…I’m starting mine tomorrow after church! Can’t wait, it sags about 1/4”.
Awesome! God bless Hope all went well

Excellent! Don't forget to try shims!

Good work brother. Been following your channel for a few years now.
Awesome! Thank you!
For next time, big C-clamp and a socket to press the pin into place. Just a thought. God bless and stay well. Also, glad you dad is ok!
Good tip! Thanks man!
perfect result - well done ! I still must do my driver door hinges, but with door installed - the fun part starts there.
Oh man.. pop that door off and go to town!
Another good video Dan. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love this series!!! Keep up the great work!! ❤️🐞
Yay! Thank you Buggy!
I am glad your dad is OK.
Awesome video not looking forward to doing the doors on my 98XJ
LOL. Its definitely a PITA but its worth it in the end

Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great timing Dan H. My 87 XJ is suffering from the same issue.
87s may have different hinges.
@@ProjectDanH It does indeed but the process will be the same or close. :)

Right.. and It didnt help that he got T-bonned. LMAO. Glad hes ok too. THanks brother.
You never showed the shims! What did you use?
Your Right! Sorry I used factory XJ shims
That door is so much better. I was using the 'weld a washer' technique myself this weekend. 👍
Haha. splash some more metal on it!
Where can you get the piece that you called the check? I need to replace mine it broke in half
amzn.to/4iowY9E
Where did you get the replacment smaller metal piece? And do you actually need to cut that one?
Hey, check the links in the description.. I should have everything in there!
Ok so I did but it only has one pin. The thicker one but not the smaller one. at least that's what it shows in the pic. Merry Christmas 🎄
Hey Dan. Looking for a welding machine. Something portable if anything. Which one are you using in this episode?
I use the harbor freight 125 flux core for the little Things. best 100 bucks I ever spent
An oscillating tool with a straight carbide blade will cut right through the pin with the door in place
Good to know! I have that tool but not that blade
Did you have to weld it the new hinge bolt? I don’t own a welder so was thinking wouldn’t be any good
I only had to weld the actual hinge to the door.. the pin did not need welding.. but if you want to practice welding I used a harbor freight flux core that only cost $120
Awesome
Thanks!
I know this out your way but you should do a basshesd setup in your jeep im doing one but im poor haha
Definitely something to consider!!
What is that liquid you sprayed before you spray painted the hinge?
Brake Parts cleaner to remove dirt and oils
so why mess with the door bolts when you can cut the pin and remove the door easier than fighting the bolts.
Thanks got the problem with my 92
Glad It helped!
Need a ZJ fender removal video
10-4
@@ProjectDanH id be the first to watch it!! Then i can adjust the new door i put on my ZJ
@@MrRewdtv lol, do have a ZJ hinge vid from a couple months ago
@@ProjectDanH gotcha, ill go find it and watch it up, but a fender vid would still be cool lol
Is the green hornet dead?
🤫😢
Thank god dads OK 🙏
Yes! 🙌
It’s been pretty cold here lately Dan so i hope this is a banked video because otherwise that would make you a polar bear
lol.. ya.. I'm very behind on editing
I got litheum grease all over on my 92.. never push your door forward. :)
LOL!
I did mine and I gotta tell ya… that sucked!
Mostly because I couldn’t get a T45 in there to get it just right…the drilling part was dicey till I realized it was better to cut the plastic sleeves off then drill…
lol. yep!
I Really want to put hex Heads in there
@@ProjectDanH I’m known for destroying T45s! The damn things just snap… I’ve even wrecked impact rated ones… 😂
If you ever sell wrecked j where u located and message ill drop a loan for that girl lol looks exactly like mine haha
haha, maybe soon!! You Guys will know when its ready
