Nice job Dan.That really sucks about your Dad,thank GOD he didn't get hurt...👍👍👊

[@ProjectDanH]

Yeah seriously, only about 10 stitched in his left elbow.. coulda been worse! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

This is a great video, I have a 92 XJ and the driver's door hinge finally came off from the body side. Its in storage because she was rear ended in 2020, but I'm slowly replacing items and repairing the damage as I go. I miss my Jeep (306+k miles)

[@Drkjedi2006]

My 92 XJ is suffering from the same issue with its driver door, the body side of the hinge came right off the body. Happy to see a video of that repair.

[@ProjectDanH]

oh man, thanks for watching.. hope the vid helps!

[@projectbumblejeep4190]

For next time, big C-clamp and a socket to press the pin into place. Just a thought. God bless and stay well. Also, glad you dad is ok!

[@ProjectDanH]

Good tip! Thanks man!

[@Mike-108_v_]

The little wheel in my ZJ door hinge has seen 180k miles and looks ruff, has a little click too...but she's still functioning! .... the 4.0 still purrs like a kitten with the Rotella T6... Dan H. deserves more subscribers than 18.6k ... always great content.

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks brother Mike! Spread the word!!!

[@joshuapennekamp4333]

Love this! Lazarus II has a driver door that the last guy replaced, and it has about a 1/4" gap at the top... I'm going to try this technique once the weather warms up!

[@ProjectDanH]

Excellent! Don't forget to try shims!

[@joshuapennekamp4333]

@@ProjectDanH I'm glad I saved every last shred of Lazarus I - I have a whole bunch of shims now, so that shouldn't be a problem, I can imagine how they would make all the difference!

[@directionallycorrect2027]

Thanks for putting this video out. I have four new to me doors to strip, dejunk and install. Wasn't sure what to do with the hinges until I watched this. Thanks!

[@ProjectDanH]

Thank you for watching! Glad this helped!

[@alansawyer1219]

Thanks for sharing

[@JoeVizethum]

perfect result - well done ! I still must do my driver door hinges, but with door installed - the fun part starts there.

[@ProjectDanH]

Oh man.. pop that door off and go to town!

[@GoatOffroad]

Love this series!!! Keep up the great work!! ❤️🐞

[@ProjectDanH]

Yay! Thank you Buggy!

[@bkp8345]

Another good video Dan. Well done.

[@ProjectDanH]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MattBrownbill]

That door is so much better. I was using the 'weld a washer' technique myself this weekend. 👍

[@ProjectDanH]

Haha. splash some more metal on it!

[@GhettoFabulous99]

Good work brother. Been following your channel for a few years now.

[@ProjectDanH]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jaysmith5084]

Many of Expeditions flipped over back in the day they didn't center the chassis with the wheelbase . I'm glad pops is okay and wrecked J gets a second chance at life .

[@ProjectDanH]

Right.. and It didnt help that he got T-bonned. LMAO. Glad hes ok too. THanks brother.

[@wyattoneable]

Great timing Dan H. My 87 XJ is suffering from the same issue.

[@ProjectDanH]

87s may have different hinges.

[@wyattoneable]

@@ProjectDanH It does indeed but the process will be the same or close. :)

[@tonyperez5360]

Awesome

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks!

[@stevensprojectgarage99]

I am glad your dad is OK. Awesome video not looking forward to doing the doors on my 98XJ

[@ProjectDanH]

LOL. Its definitely a PITA but its worth it in the end

[@stevensprojectgarage99]

@@ProjectDanH right. Watching an xj build take shape is always good time’s. Can’t wait to really get to work on my channel. But for now I’ll just kick back for some popcorn and enjoy yours. Keep killing it. 😎😎😎👍👍👍👊

[@dougfrench1886]

Thanks got the problem with my 92

[@ProjectDanH]

Glad It helped!

[@jaboneyoyo5843]

Thank god dads OK 🙏

[@ProjectDanH]

Yes! 🙌

[@paulbracken9642]

An oscillating tool with a straight carbide blade will cut right through the pin with the door in place

[@ProjectDanH]

Good to know! I have that tool but not that blade

[@timturk6003]

It’s been pretty cold here lately Dan so i hope this is a banked video because otherwise that would make you a polar bear

[@ProjectDanH]

lol.. ya.. I'm very behind on editing

[@aflykidfrombrooklyn]

Hey Dan. Looking for a welding machine. Something portable if anything. Which one are you using in this episode?

[@ProjectDanH]

I use the harbor freight 125 flux core for the little Things. best 100 bucks I ever spent

[@christopherdurbin6604]

You never showed the shims! What did you use?

[@tro8p]

Did you have to weld it the new hinge bolt? I don’t own a welder so was thinking wouldn’t be any good

[@ProjectDanH]

I only had to weld the actual hinge to the door.. the pin did not need welding.. but if you want to practice welding I used a harbor freight flux core that only cost $120

[@SheDevilsGarage]

I know this out your way but you should do a basshesd setup in your jeep im doing one but im poor haha

[@ProjectDanH]

Definitely something to consider!!

[@ralphnabozny8494]

I got litheum grease all over on my 92.. never push your door forward. :)

[@ProjectDanH]

LOL!

[@brendaneisenburg3959]

What is that liquid you sprayed before you spray painted the hinge?

[@ProjectDanH]

Brake Parts cleaner to remove dirt and oils

[@rodom303]

Is the green hornet dead?

[@ProjectDanH]

🤫😢

[@ky0611]

Where did you get the replacment smaller metal piece? And do you actually need to cut that one?

[@ProjectDanH]

Hey, check the links in the description.. I should have everything in there!

[@ky0611]

Ok so I did but it only has one pin. The thicker one but not the smaller one. at least that's what it shows in the pic. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@Deadbuck73]

I did mine and I gotta tell ya… that sucked!

[@Deadbuck73]

Mostly because I couldn’t get a T45 in there to get it just right…the drilling part was dicey till I realized it was better to cut the plastic sleeves off then drill…

[@ProjectDanH]

I Really want to put hex Heads in there
