About how much do full doors weigh

hi beth, each door is 49 pounds.

My guesstimate is not more than fifty pounds each. Each door is about as heavy as one of those four foot folding tables from Office Depot. They are not real heavy but they are big and hard to get a hold of. I like to roll the window down, reach in from the outside through the window hole, and get a good grip on the arm rest door closer loop before trying to remove the door. The other hand goes on the bottom of the door. When you set the door down, put the rear corner down first so you don't squish the fingers on that hand (ouch!).

If this is the first time you have taken the door off the hinge pins tend to be tight and resist removal of the door. If this happens open and close the door several times while lifting on it. Make sure you don't lose your balance when the hinges eventually pop apart.

Umm, just remove fuse #4 I think it is and no more door switches but the inside lights still work with the headlight switch.

And 'REALLY' watch your toes the first time, those suckers can come down fast once the pins pop!

I got to doubting Nathan's 49lb door weight so I weighed my full hard doors on a scale. My stock 91YJ full doors with the little sport mirrors weigh in at 54lbs. Nathan was close--that extra 5lbs can hurt you. My method for removal is to roll the window down with the door open and lift it off from the inside side. One hand under the bottom of the door and one under the top of the window frame. Once you get it off, you can lower it down so you can get the other hand on the window frame. Watch your toes.

Now anyone want to guess what a 33X12.50 BFG AT/KO on a 10" chrome mod rim weighs?

hi scott, either recalibrate your scale, or get the 5 pounds of mud off your door. :-)

Bill? Oh wait its Earle. KH

My wife was wondering why I had a Jeep door in the bathroom.

tell her you needed something to read. ;-)

...you mean "crappy leaf springs vs. better coil springs", don't you? ;-) TJim

LOL

Nah, Bill's secret is to carry a couple spare leafs and always climb with a passenger or two. When it starts to bog down going up the hill, the passengers are instructed to grab the spare leafs and dig in and row the jeep to the top.
