What do you guys think about the new door checks that hold the doors in the open position? Is the trouble of removing an extra bolt when removing your doors worth the added benefits?

Quadratec I'm a bit more bothered by the removable panel covering the electrical plugs for the doors than I am for one more bolt.

That was definitely an area of concern for us when we were filming this. The covers for the rear doors pulled off very easily, and you can't really pull them off wrong. The covers for the front doors however, we could easily see how people might break the 2 panel clips if they try to pry the panel towards the center of the vehicle, rather then pulling it towards the rear.

Can the door checks simply not be bolted back in place? Will the door operate properly(ie no damage) if the door checks aren't re-bolted in place. I can see this step getting skipped for time or convenience or just not wanting to deal with it. Wrangler owners are to the free-swinging doors.

We were actually talking about just that as we were making this video. The arms would be in the way if you don't bolt that single bolt back in. but I think if you took the check arm completely out of the door you would be ok if you didn't care about that feature. There is still the check strap so it would function just like the JK door without it.

Rob, What's your secret to keep the door checks from "snapping" back inside the door frame? The door checks collapsed inside the door frame on my first door removal. The only way I could get them back out was to use a screw driver to 'pry' the door check back out, so that I could reinstall the door. I'd like to know how to avoid this in the future.

@Quadratec
2 жыл бұрын
Did the check arm go all the way in (bracket almost touching the door)? You can grab the bracket with a pair of pliers and pull straight out, it takes a good amount of force, and it’s easier if you put the door back on the hinges. If it’s still showing about an inch of arm, you can try threading the bolt back into the door jam where it goes and use the door leverage to pull it out
