This is not "fabrication" in the normal sense of the word on an offroad site. But I built it just the same.

Issue: What to do with my doors(all 4) when they are not on the Jeep. I have a new set(new to me) half doors I am assembling and need a place for them until it times to switch out the full doors with half doors.

Objectives: I don't them resting on the bottom, leaning against something or in general exposed to the abuse anything in my garage endures due to having kids, bikes, etc.. Also has to be realively cheap can't cost more than the doors did.

Material List: 1- 8x2x6, 4 Garden Gate hinge sets, 5 Lag bolts with Washers. Time 1.5hrs

Measurements : 7" above the ground, 12.25" apart (top/bottom hinge), 45" Length of one door, so hinge holders must be this far apart.

Here is a picture with the top door to go with the bottom door. You will notice a red line on the wood in the middle above the bottom door and below the top door for clearance. The 5 lab bolts were used to attach to the stud in the wall. Feedback is welcome. Cost was about $60 for everything. As soon as I get my half doors put together they will be hanging there and I will get another pic to show all four doors.

Valuable tool for all you "full door" owners.

I finally found a hard top that offers hard upper half doors with it so I could run a secure hard top with my half doors. I asked the boss but was denied. Maybe later...

I forgot to mention how impressed I am with the small amount of space required for your storage. Now, if you could only come up with a comparable way to store a soft top!
