Default Removing the door without removing the fender...possible?

As the topic says, is it possible? What size are the bolts?

Anybody have a link to the pins and bushings I'd need to buy? My door shuts a little low.

Hmmm, now your really making me think. I had to do this to my car when I was re-assembling it. I put the doors on befor the fenders to make it easier though. I don't think you need to fully remove the door to replace the bushings and door pin though......but don't quote me on that lol. I'd have to look at it again to tell you for sure but when I replaced my bushings and [in I had the door still bolted in, I think [8D]

Well there is some rust in the door hinge there too, so I'd like to get rid of that which would require the door to be removed.

You won't have to pull the fender.

I think the stock door pins have to be cut out, but I'm not sure on that.

LMR/5.0 Resto will have the pin kits.

if you can take the liner out you can reach the bolts and remove the door without taking the fender off.

Yup. Remove the plastic inner fender and the insulation.
