300 bucks for brackets to hang my doors while they're off. What are other economy minded people using? I saw in one of Eddie and Cindy's garage vids that they had hangers that were supporting 2 doors each, which would be ideal except the ones I found at a big box hardware bent under the weight of one door. In addition to a lot of weight, that's a lot of money hanging there! I'd rather not find them laying on the floor. As always, thanks for any good advice.

Did you make sure that the screw eyes were driven in AT LEAST 2"? That is what I state in the video and in the write-up.

Thanks to the awesome engineers over at Jeep, removing the doors on a Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator pickup truck is easier than ever before. And because of it, there really is no reason why you shouldn't be taking yours off, especially now that summer is here! Well, except for the fact that...

I missed that one... I saw them in the background in the LoD rock slider install video. My Lowe's has been out everything but the most flimsy, thin walled tubing brackets you can imagine. But yes, I used 1/4" lags 3" long with washers.

Well, drive them in all the way to the point where just the eye is showing and I can guarantee you that you won't see any bending. If you're still concerned, use a bigger screw eye.

LOL, Eddie posted a link to the DIY hangers he made in the second post. You guys are talking about totally different ways of hanging doors. Here is the link again

I have read in the past that hanging them with something like that will deform and/or damage the widow trim/channel over time.

Can confirm for tj, I’m guessing newer models built better. But will pull the upper half off the welds eventually on tj full doors.

A pool noodle will address that. I had mine there for like three years with no issues.

I wanted to hang two on each set of brackets. Not the bracket Eddie built. The ones I posted. But they won't support the weight of two doors.
