Hinges

[Jakedog]

My bronco came with the quick release door hinges, and I'm having trouble getting the doors adjusted. Does anybody here have experience with these Hinges? Are they harder to work with?
I like being able to take the doors off real quick, but I'm willing to get stock type hinges if need be.

I'm getting ready replace my hinges and need to decide which set to buy. I would 'assume' based on being able to easily remove the door and adjust the hinge and reinstall, it would be easier but from what I've read, there is no easy solution.

While it can make them easier because you can take the door off to adjust it can also cause problems. If you move one hinge too much it can get the hinges in a bind or the door wont actually go on at all. I have those hinges and what i done was put tape on the hinge post around where the hinge mounts and behind it. After door is installed , loosen the bolts enough that it takes a little effort for the door to move. Take the strike plate off and you should be able to move the door around to get it right. I used a rubber mallet and bumped the hinges into place. Once you get them right you can make some reference marks on the tape and trace around the outside of the hinge. Take the hinges off and remove tape behind the hinge plate. Reinstall using the remaining reference marks then you can remove the rest of the tape

Im a little confused about the body mounts. Is the body mount thats being jacked up loosened before hand?

Yes loosen the body mount bolt that you are working on, if it gets the door to open and close better, and the door gaps are good, then you need to add a shim to fill the amount you had to jack up the body mount.

My driver door has been a pain in the ass.
