Umm, for what flavor of Jeep?'Aftermarket'????I doubt it, those are pretty specialized, but?.....Mike86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '0088 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's - Gone to the rust pile...Canadian Off Road Trips Photos:  Non members can still view!Jan/06 (More Off Road album links at bottom of the view page)

Don't you mean "what flavor of anything"? I have door hinges on my house, car, refrigerator, tool box...

For the Wrangler/CJ type of Jeep, you can buy replacement door hinges aftermarket. Quality ranges from abysmal to great, and sometimes is related to price. Try

For a Cherokee, for example, you can get replacement oem door hinges or you can maybe get them bushed at a local machine shop. Sometimes, you can drill out the holes and insert a bigger pin, but that is iffy.

...Actually I was wondering the same thing on and off.  On my 2002 TJ it has this softer metal insert thing in where the pin goes.  When I was replacing the door one day I messed it up (bent it a bit) and the door was stiff for a while until it just mashed itself back into shape I suppose, as it works fine now.At the time I was wondering if this was something that was replaceable or if it mattered.  I have concluded with time that it did not matter enough for me, as it is OK now.  Bob's question does have credence tho.I would recommend to Bob that if he mashed it up and the door pin still goes in, to just give it a bit of time and see if it works itself out of being trouble.  Mine seemed to.Tomes
