Stripped down and naked

[Schmo]

Looking to get her naked . . . and wanted to find out the right tool/process to remove the doors without taking the paint off the nuts? Also, I've seen some spring like things for the door sensor, making it think the door is closed . . . any idea where I can get some or other tricks that work? I have some stock mirrors off of my Harley . . . anyone know if they will work on the Jeep?

you can just take the fuse out behind the glove box for the dome light

You lose your lights on buzzer if you pull the door fuse which bit me in the ass today! I took the door nuts off by using a wrench 1 size too big (if it was 12mm, I used the closest standard size, or vice versa... I don't remember off the top of my head). Anyways, put a shop towel (those blue paper towels) between the wrench and the nut. Should work to not scrape the paint up.

Then, to remove the door, put one arm on either side for two reasons. First, the doors are heavier than you think. Second, it makes it easy to rock it back and forth to pull the pin out w/o losing control and scratching up the jeep!

HTH!

lights n buzzer? whats that

Hey, I herd a rumor that once upon a time the lights and stuff actually lit up and buzzed and did all kinds of neat stuff when you did stuff to your jeep... you know before the deep water crossings and the "custom" foglights and "optional" bodywork...

The buzzer that reminds you that your lights are on! I had a drained battery and had to attempt to push start the Jeep... Rolls a lot easier than you'd expect with 33" MTRs!

hmmm..
when I turn my lights on, I turn them off when I turn the Jeep off.

When I remove the nuts on the doors, I toss them in the glove box and never put them back on anyway.

Just remove fuse #4 behind the glove box which will keep the interior lights from turning on when the door is open or removed. With that fuse out, you can still turn them on as usual with the dashlight rotary control. Jeep designed fuse #4 for this purpose, for when the doors are removed.

If someone can't be entrusted with turning their lights off unless the buzzer is present that is disabled by removing the #4 fuse, they would have never survived back before there were key-buzzers. I guess some just need external reminders for everything. I haven't had fuse #4 installed for probably ten years and I've yet to have a dead battery from forgetting to turn the lights off.

Well la-di-da....

I'm not used to starting my commute when it's dark so I forgot the lights were on when I arrived at my destination and it was no longer dark.

Oh yeah, Jerry, I have a clutch over-ride switch too... in case I forget that too :devil: hehe

[Jerry Bransford]

Heh, I knew that'd rile you up a tad Mat.
