Rugged Ridge Door Hinge Brackets for Jeep CJ/Wrangler YJ/TJ - Fits 1976–1986 Jeep CJ & 1987–2006 Jeep Wrangler YJ/TJ - Direct Fit & DIY-Friendly Installation - Steel - Black - Lower

I don’t typically write reviews but I feel in this case it is necessary to help out anyone else who happens to order these items. I ordered Rugged Ridge 11209.02 Black Windshield Hinge , Rugged Ridge 11202.03 Black Lower Door Hinge - Pair , Rugged Ridge 11202.01 Black Door Hinge Kit and Rugged Ridge 11202.07 Brass Hinge Bushing Insert . I will be copying this review to each as each part is integral to the story here. First, the windshield hinges come with bushings but the lower door hinges don’t. This isn’t stated anywhere I found and the bushings come as a set of 4 so you will have 2 extra. Next, the bushings don’t fit inside the lower door hinges. I contacted Rugged Ridge and they say they should. I drilled out the inside of the hinge opening with a 7/16 drill bit and they fit fine after that. That leads to the next problem. The pins on the door hinges don’t fit inside the bushings. Again, Rugged Ridge says they should but they don’t. The issue was the powder coating on the pin. I tried using high quality paint stripper that was stated online would work on powder coating but it really had no effect. Since it was just the pin that was the issue we sanded some off and that worked easily. Eventually we just used a pocket knife and scrapped the powder coating off the pin which worked just as well as the sand paper. Once we got through all of that, the parts worked well together and look great. I hope this information helps someone else along the way. I don’t regret buying the products, I just wish I had been able to find all of this information a little easier. Good Luck.

Fit my cj7 nice.

Received the hinges today, came with bolts but no nuts...why would it not come with nuts?

Great

These worked great for what I needed. See photo

I jave a feeling these will get wore out in a couple years. They don't have hinge bushings and you can't install hinge bushings.

Don't spend $100 or more on a prefab wall-mount door holder for your TJ. Buy two sets of these, mount them on a 4x4 post somewhere in your shop that's also bolted to the wall, and make your own for a lot less month. I did even up adding another board to the front to keep the doors from swinging away from the wall when the wind started howling, but still much cheaper and just as functional.

Exactly what was needed, looks great, and holds up well.

Lighter than expected but appear functional
