Long story short mine got bent, broke taking off, rusted like crazy. I just need new ones. I can find some online on quadratec but they are polished stainless which is gaudy. I want to try and paint them silver at the least.
I need new hinges on both doors upper and lower. Also want to prevent them from getting rusted in again.
I can only really find the upper hinges.
EDIT: Found these. Are they any good? https://jeephardware.com/product/1997-2006-jeep-wrangler-tj-lj-door-hinges/
Also does anyone have any experience on getting these off? Mine are totally rusted so I can't wait to pull them off and take the paint with em..

No idea, but if you do buy them, I'd pass on the included brass bushings and install Delrin bushings instead.

Based on the installation instructions, you'll need a security/tamper proof hex bit (of unknown size) to remove the two bolts (1 each) holding them on.

I doubt there is much that can go wrong with a door hinge so I may just get the ones I posted.

Yep, pretty sure those are the ones I purchased to replace the shot bushings in mine. They're easier to replace than the brass, if you need to.

Provided they haven't been manufactured from steel with the structural integrity of old cheddar cheese, and the fit is good (hole locations and sizes), I wouldn't think so.
