Took the doors off, They said rain this Sunday and Monday so I decided to put everything back together. Well, when I was tightening the nut on the upper driver side door pin, it snapped off at the threads. So, I have already ordered new bushings based on a previous thread. The pins that this company offered do not appear to be threaded. My buddies have told me that there earlier model wranglers dont have threads and nuts that hold their doors on. Should I be concerned? Doors are pretty heavy and pin is still seated in the bushing.

No nuts on the half doors on my 2001. Take them off occasionally, no problem.
Ok cool..I was thinking that it would be pretty tough for that door to pop off the hinge especially since the lower hinge is still attached, the door is closed and the hinge is still in the bushing.
