DIY DOOR HANGER for Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Trucks - Works for JL / JT and JK too!

Thanks to the awesome engineers over at Jeep, removing the doors on a Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator pickup truck is easier than ever before. And because of it, there really is no reason why you shouldn't be taking yours off, especially now that summer is here! Well, except for the fact that they do take up a lot of space, get in the way and leaving them on the ground or resting up against a wall, can lead to them getting damage. So, what do you do with your doors once they are off?
For me, the answer was to hang them. Specifically, up on a wall so that I could get them off the ground and out of the way. And, while there are a myriad of door hangers out there that you can buy, most cost upwards of $100 or more. Needless to say, I decided to make my own and in this short video, I'll so you just how easy it is to make, in less than half an hour and with just a basic set of tools. Of course, the best part about my DIY solution, is that you can find everything that you need at your local Lowe's Hardware Store or the like and it can all be had for about $16 and change! And that, is what the PIPPI Project is all about.

This was brilliant. Had me guessing till the last minute.

[@wayalife]

LOL - awesome :)

[@ramcentralstation]

Me too! LOL!

[@fulyssesrios6877]

😅me too. I was not quite sure what he was building

[@benjamincai156]

I followed the instruction and made the door hangers for my 2019 JLU’s full doors. The only caveat is that, using 1/4” by 3-3/4” eye screws, when you put the front door on, it’s so heavy that the screws are bent as soon as the door’s weight is put fully on the eye screws. I replaced with 5/16” by 4” eye screws and made sure 2.5” of screw is torqued into the lumber, and it worked perfectly. GREAT instruction and it works like a charm

[@davethompson8715]

I had the exact same problem, going to try 5/16 next

[@christophermaahs8596]

I wish I had read this comment BEFORE going to the hardware store... bent, just as described...

[@WayneSpider]

Thankyou for the heads up I just got my first jeep and I am going build this

[@aarongregory382]

If you have more DIY’s, bring ‘em on cause I love this!

Awesome! I'll see what I can do :)

[@Chris.starfleet]

And I love how you actually use the correct name for each component even if it's a nut or a bolt or a washer.

[@wayalife]

Well, it helps to separate one thing from the next. 😎

I feel more like a man every time I watch this channel.

Awesome DIY door hangers. I like how budget friendly this is as well, Jeep “things” are always so over priced when $16 here gets you what you need!

So simple yet so ingenious all at once. Kicking myself for not coming up with something like this after sooooo many years of moving Jeep doors around my garage.

Are the measurements the same for the read doors? Definitely gonna make this! Thanks for all you do Jeep friend!

[@wayalife]

@@erikstrieter4233 Yup, exactly the same.

[@claytoncolleran]

Well done. Made a double rack for my 4 gladiator door yesterday. Only thing I did differently was offset the heights slightly so the hold-open plungers don't hit.

[@wayalife]

Now there's a good idea!

I'm still confused.

[@birmjam]

The doors on the jeep are half doors.

[@Dawgfan8967]

I followed your video and the step-by-step instructions and made a hanger for my garage this afternoon - took me around an hour but I took my time. It turned out great and I will ultimately build 3 more of these in case my Gladiator and my wife’s Wrangler have all the doors off at the same time. Thank you so much for this video and all your other videos - as a relatively new Jeeper I have learned a lot from you!

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Glad our video could be of help to you :)

[@dirtheaddavis366]

3 planks of lumber, screws, and washers. Yup, that's all we can get in the back of the 2 doors. 😂

[@jwingo7257]

Yes, I have a manual 2018 Wrangler JL, 2-door, soft top with manual windows! Retro baby! You need a “man pedal” and two doors for the retro experience! Love your project.

Awesome :)

Finally a simple door hanger! I was trying to come up with a budget way of making hangers for my LJ and when I saw the eye bolts, I was like well why didn’t I think of that!?! Genius sir, simply genius. Thank you brother!
