Is this something I can do?

Garrett · January 13th, 2009, 05:27 PM

So today I went and picked up the passenger side door from the junk yard..already painted red

so I was thinking about just putting the door on myself instead of paying to put it on..Is this a easy process?..something I can walk myself through?

Unbolt. Bolt back up. No problem.

Garrett · January 13th, 2009, 05:57 PM

niice. It will be on first thing tomorrow.

Lefty · January 13th, 2009, 05:59 PM

Good luck bro!

Its as simple as lefty said. When you pull the bolts out youll see rings on the hinge that the bolt heads left. When you tighten the bolts back up make sure the heads of the bolts are back in the same spot based on those rings. This will put the door back in the same position so you shouldnt have to adjust anything.

Lefty · January 13th, 2009, 06:02 PM

^ I was assuming he'd figure that part out

ajm · January 13th, 2009, 06:02 PM

Lefty · January 13th, 2009, 06:03 PM

If you can use a wrench and have eyes you'll be fine

lol, I didnt know if there was any wiring I would have to figure out..Seeing I saw some lose wires on the door I just got...I'm sure I'll do just fine tho

ajm · January 13th, 2009, 06:09 PM

Also if youre doing it yourself vs 2 people it might not hurt to throw a few layers of masking tape on the edge of the fender so that way if you wiggle the door or something trying to stick it on there yourself it wont scratch it somtimes they can be a bitch to hold while putting the bolts in

Garrett · January 13th, 2009, 06:10 PM

Good idea dude, Cuz I want have any help at all.

Lefty · January 13th, 2009, 06:11 PM

Nice ajm!

As far as wiring goes youll be fine. The only "hard" part with these cars vs an explorer or expedition for example is they stick the plugs for the door wiring up in the kick panel area behind/along with a bunch of other wiring so its kind of a hassle to get to but nothing too serious just one of those pain in the ass kinda things.

Lefty · January 13th, 2009, 06:18 PM

^ yeah, just take your time with it Garrett. I have a feeling you'll be fine homie

Garrett · January 13th, 2009, 06:28 PM

Yeah I belive I should be able to handle it as well. again thanks y'all.

Lefty · January 13th, 2009, 06:29 PM

No prob.
