Door hinge pivot bolt

[Whitelightning]

I noticed my passenger door was being a little tough to open, noticed the bottom nut was about 2mm from being snug. It immediately snapped , (maybe I should have tried to loosen it first)..

are these available at the local hardware store? Or should I order online. I also broke a bolt extractor in the remaining bolt/nut, so I’ll need the nut also.

I haven't had the nuts on my doors for years, they can't fall out when the door is shut

I snapped all of mine off shortly after purchasing. I think I had my righty tighty lefty loosy messed up. Have new pins somewhere but haven't put them in. Rarely run the full doors now anyway.

Them upside down bolts always get me. If I have to use a wrench upside down I bring a ratchet with me so I can check which way to turn it

These are not needed, but make putting the doors back on very easy... my JT and the JL's are set up with longer pins already... get the top started, then start the bottom, and viola... doors back on...

Sounds about right. All you do is store parts now.

He won't even start a theoretical-build thread so you gotta PM him to ask if he started every now and then.

I’m in the mood to stir the pot. I’m feeling unbalanced.

I bet you could store some of the stuff in my jeep for the time being

I never thought anyone could do it better than @Squatch, but you sir are a parts collector stud.
