CJ7 Upper Hinges
First time moving from half doors to full doors. The upper hinges
seemingly have no thread to accept the screws on the lower half of this
top hinges (Bracket mounts to body). Any suggestions--If I lower the
windshield will the area be exposed?

Re: CJ7 Upper Hinges
If you've got two hinges on each side you already got all of `em. There
neither place nor need to add more. You CJ-7 doors should just drop
right on.

Re: CJ7 Upper Hinges
Say what?
The hinges are the same, nothing gets unscrewed or screwed. Either the
door fits right on or you have the wrong door. My guess is you have the
wrong door.
The top hinge is also the windshield hinge and you 'really' don't want
to be trying to take that off. If you do, the dash must come off too to
get to the nuts. The nuts are also thread sealed and you need a torch
to break that free. This means the paint will get all burned off the
hinge so expect to do a paint job if swapping hinges.

Re: CJ7 Upper Hinges
This project is so easy that you have confused me with the complexity of it
all.
Take the half-doors off. Hang the full doors in the spot where the
half-doors formerly hung. The hinges are the same.
The hinge pins are on the doors, or should be.
