DIY DOOR HANGER for Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator Trucks - Works for JL / JT and JK too!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Thanks to the awesome engineers over at Jeep, removing the doors on a Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator pickup truck is easier than ever before. And because of it, there really is no reason why you shouldn't be taking yours off, especially now that summer is here! Well, except for the fact that they do take up a lot of space, get in the way and leaving them on the ground or resting up against a wall, can lead to them getting damage. So, what do you do with your doors once they are off?
For me, the answer was to hang them. Specifically, up on a wall so that I could get them off the ground and out of the way. And, while there are a myriad of door hangers out there that you can buy, most cost upwards of $100 or more. Needless to say, I decided to make my own and in this short video, I'll so you just how easy it is to make, in less than half an hour and with just a basic set of tools. Of course, the best part about my DIY solution, is that you can find everything that you need at your local Lowe's Hardware Store or the like and it can all be had for about $16 and change! And that, is what the PIPPI Project is all about.

I followed the instruction and made the door hangers for my 2019 JLU’s full doors. The only caveat is that, using 1/4” by 3-3/4” eye screws, when you put the front door on, it’s so heavy that the screws are bent as soon as the door’s weight is put fully on the eye screws. I replaced with 5/16” by 4” eye screws and made sure 2.5” of screw is torqued into the lumber, and it worked perfectly. GREAT instruction and it works like a charm
I had the exact same problem, going to try 5/16 next
I wish I had read this comment BEFORE going to the hardware store... bent, just as described...
This was brilliant. Had me guessing till the last minute.
LOL - awesome :)
Me too! LOL!
😅me too. I was not quite sure what he was building
If you have more DIY’s, bring ‘em on cause I love this!
Awesome! I'll see what I can do :)
Awesome DIY door hangers. I like how budget friendly this is as well, Jeep “things” are always so over priced when $16 here gets you what you need!
Happy to hear you like our solution! 😎
And I love how you actually use the correct name for each component even if it's a nut or a bolt or a washer.
Well, it helps to separate one thing from the next. 😎
I’m telling you guys Eddie is the G.O.A.T on Jeeps🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
LOL - too funny :)
Well done. Made a double rack for my 4 gladiator door yesterday. Only thing I did differently was offset the heights slightly so the hold-open plungers don't hit.
Now there's a good idea!
I followed your video and the step-by-step instructions and made a hanger for my garage this afternoon - took me around an hour but I took my time. It turned out great and I will ultimately build 3 more of these in case my Gladiator and my wife’s Wrangler have all the doors off at the same time. Thank you so much for this video and all your other videos - as a relatively new Jeeper I have learned a lot from you!
Awesome! Happy to hear our video was able to help you out 👍
Made two sets for myGladiator and they work like a dream. Such a good idea. And simple!
Awesome! Glad to hear our video was helpful to you.
Yes, I have a manual 2018 Wrangler JL, 2-door, soft top with manual windows!
Retro baby! You need a “man pedal” and two doors for the retro experience!
Love your project.
Awesome :)
Just did this for our 4-door half doors, awesome money savings idea. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful! :)
So simple yet so ingenious all at once. Kicking myself for not coming up with something like this after sooooo many years of moving Jeep doors around my garage.
LOL - better late than never to get it done right :)
Just made two of these today for my JKU, super easy and saves so much space in my garage. Cost next to nothing. Thank you!!!
Happy to hear our video was helpful to you and that you like the results 😎
Thanks for the video, I built 2 sets of them today for our 2021 Sahara 4Xe. I already had the lumber and the screws, went to the hardware store and spent 8 bucks on eye bolts.
Awesome! Glad our video could be of help to you :)
Finally a simple door hanger! I was trying to come up with a budget way of making hangers for my LJ and when I saw the eye bolts, I was like well why didn’t I think of that!?! Genius sir, simply genius. Thank you brother!
Glad I could help!
I built two of these today for my wife's new Rubicon 4xe and registered on your site. Thanks for the great videos!
That is awesome! Glad to hear our video was helpful to you.
You would think this guy was in the video production industry before doing what he’s doing now with how good these videos are put together 😂 damn
Truly flattered you would say as much. 😊
3 planks of lumber, screws, and washers. Yup, that's all we can get in the back of the 2 doors. 😂
LOL - keepin it real for the 2-door guys 😁
Videos like this are invaluable. Love it! I’ll be make a pair for my 4 dr. 🤘
Awesome! Glad you can appreciate the simple things 😎
Are the measurements the same for the read doors? Definitely gonna make this! Thanks for all you do Jeep friend!
@@erikstrieter4233 Yup, exactly the same.
this is the first project i do when the shed comes in in a few a few months. doing this x2 for the back doors on my gladiator.
Awesome! :)
I had the 2X4's on hand so got away with $5 in hardware from Tractor Supply. Made this for a set of YJ half doors. Thanks!
Glad I could help
I feel more like a man every time I watch this channel.
LOL - hope you find our content helpful :)
This is what been waiting on home made projects. Fir the cheap jeepers.
So happy that we can help out in this way :)
We’ll know my wife is wondering why I have all these things in my shop for a Jeep and no Jeep! Hope to finally get our Jeep Wrangler unlimited this year. Great video!
Awesome! Glad you found the video to be helpful :)
Thanks for sharing. Just built mine today, it works like a charm, and for less than 20 bucks.
That is awesome and glad that we could be of help.
Brilliant!!!
I just bought my first jeep, it's a 2015 Rubicon JKU. It already has a lot of aftermarket goodies installed so I'm ahead in the customization department. I'm loving the diy door hangers.
Awesome! Glad we could share this with you and congratulations to you :)
I got confused for a second at the end when you pulled in with doors on the Jeep… Awesome vid
I'm still confused.
The doors on the jeep are half doors.
Just built these and they are doing well.
Awesome! Glad to know that our video was helpful to you.
Just built my mounts and top hanger yesterday. Works spectacularly. Thanks for sharing your knowledge man.
Awesome! Happy to hear our video was helpful to you.
Clever idea! I dont even own a Jeep (Tacoma owner here) but love the awesome content!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video and step by.step instructions. Another project for me once we get some sort of half doors for our new Wrangler.
Awesome! Glad to hear you found our video to be useful to you 👍
You had me laughing with that intro. I do that all the time..😂
LOL - glad you enjoyed it :)
I built a DIY hard top hoist and this is right up my alley! thanks for the idea
Glad I could help!
Great project and what a simple solution for hanging Jeep doors
Glad you like our solution. 👍
Also if the bottom eye bolt is out a little further than the top it will keep the doors swung to the wall. Nice.
There you go! :)
Awesome. half door hangers are expensive. thank you. will be making this soon
Happy to hear we could be of help to you!
Great instructional video. What a great way to get the doors hung and out of the way in an inexpensive manner,
Glad you like what you see :)
I did this for my cj. Took a old bemch swing, fabricated some side steps and some door hangers aswell but they go thru the window frame. Put some foam on it so i dont sctratch the inner window frame
That’s a great idea! Way better than my pvc stand that’s still on the shop floor in the way!
Glad we could share this with you.
Nicely done! Yet another reason for me to admire this channel (even if the footage in Lowe's was unnecessary fluff 😉).
Thanks again for your effort to support the Jeep community.
LOL - Happy to hear you found our video to be useful and that you enjoy our channel 😎
@@wayalife Yours is now the first and sometimes the only channel that I visit when I'm seeking DIY advice for Jeepy stuff. I'm not just saying that; your practical content works for the Man-In-The-Street owner, which is most of us. Thanks again!
@@thedailywin537 Truly humbled that you would say as much 😊
Those half door ❤️❤️
Wow. This was a great video. Thank you for taking the time to make the videos on DYI projects for the jeep.
Awesome! Happy to hear you found our video to be useful 😎
Great idea on the eyelets! Gonna make some. Need a couple sets. I hate lumber is so high, thanks uncle Joe.
It really is stupid how much lumber is these days but in spite of it, you can still make this for cheap.
@@wayalife love the YJ!
Anyone else said out loud after he was done “ok how’s THAT going to work?!” Lol this is awesome
LOL - glad you enjoyed our video and my solution :)
I really appreciate the attention to details that you illustrate in this project and for sharing to others!
We're really happy to hear you enjoy our videos and find them be helpful to you 😎
Or anchor 2 big hooks purchased from Lowe's or HD. The padded ones with the orange plastic protector. With windows down fold in the mirrors then hang em up thru the top of the window frame. 2 big heavy duty hooks 4 - 3 inch lags bolts and you're done. I do like your idea also. About the same cost.
Not something I would recommend. For one, you can't hang half doors with them and for two, over time, the rubber seals at the top of the window frame will warp, even with padding on the hooks. At least, that's what I've seen. But hey, if it works for you, awesome.
Super badass!! Thanks again! You are saving me close to $1,000 between the door hangers for my 4-door and the top hoist. You should have ended the video standing directly between the two doors hanging. They would have looked like wings. I’m subscribing. So glad I found your videos!
LOL - glad that we could be of help to you :)
This is one of my favourite channels. And I'm not even into 4x4ing. Although I would like to be.
LOL - flattered to hear as much and if you can, you really should get into it. I think you'd love it :)
I'd make supports for the doors on the opposite sides so that the door hinges won't sag over time. Otherwise brilliant idea 👏
Even something like a bent bolt (L shaped) sticking out of the wall for the door latch to grab on to!
Sending ❤️ hugs 🤗 from Vancouver to Cindy’s parents
Thank you
Thanks Eddie, I have yet ANOTHER project to do while on vacation.
Awesome! Glad to be of help :)
Thanks for this video. I have been looking for door hangers for our Jeep with spring approaching and most online are crazy expensive as are most Jeep accessories. I'm going to build this shortly!
Happy to hear our video was helpful and that it'll save you money as well.
This is so helpful. I really like the direction you are going with this new series. It is great to see you going back to basics. And welcome back. Your videos were missed.
So glad to hear you're liking our new project and thank you.
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I used it as the inspiration to build one to hold 4 doors. Great idea!
Happy to hear our video was helpful to you.
Thanks! Just made one for my garage! Brilliant!
awesome! So glad to hear our video was helpful to you.
You had me going all the way through the video, what the
heck is he making? Right up until you hung the doors. Brilliant!! Another
enjoyable video. Thanks to you and your wife for all your hard work you put
into your videos. You keep all 160+ thousand of us entertained and waiting for
the next one.
Awesome! So happy you enjoyed this one 😎
Thanks for the video just made my diy door hangers for my gladiator. Really appreciate it man.
Awesome! So glad to hear our video was helpful to you 👍
Nice job. Up and out of the way.
Thanks! Glad you like my solution :)
This is great! Gonna have to do this myself. My doors are currently nicely tucked away on the garage floor. This would get them out of the way!
Awesome! Glad we could be of help 😎
Love the video - done in such a way anyone who isn't well-versed in carpentry could handle it. Well done. I'd add only this - some people have old garages, maybe not totally straight walls. Might not be a bad idea to put a level against the wall as if it leans inward at all, even a little bit at the top, once you hang the doors they'll want to swing away from the wall.
You can correct for this be tweaking how far in the eyes are top compared to bottom, or shim the bottom of your hanger out from the wall just a tad. Keep it totally vertical left and right and top to bottom and the doors will stay put. If you've ever been in a house where a door wants to close, or open itself if not latched, it's due to it not being plumb at the hinges.
With this project, it can be used even in an old garage that's less than perfect just by making sure the eyes are plumb in all directions.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing them with others.
I'm going to build this. I plan to use the plastic coated screw eyes, to avoid damaging the paint on the hinges, or at least Plasti dipping the metal ones.
The base of the hinges have unpainted sleeves and that's what sits on the screw eyes.
Was doors-off all weekend. 🤙
Those half doors look great!
Thanks! 😎
Great video, will make one myself
Awesome 👍
just did mine x2 for the rear. great idea and cheap
Awesome! Glad we were able to help out 😎
Pretty genius! I will stick some rubber bands where the doors may touch the wall to prevent the paint to being scratched... Just to be more sure✌️✌️
Sounds like a good idea
Wow great video! I just finished making some of my own self made door holders for my gladiator that were no where as fancy as yours!! I kind of wish I saw this before making mine. I like yours so much, I might actually change mine to your setup!!
LOL - glad you like what you see :)
Always top tier Quality form our favorite Jeep Channel! Going to do this for the new Ecodiesel build and have more room for our road bikes! Thank you!🙌🏼
So happy to hear you enjoyed the video. 😎
This is amazing, been trying to figure out what to do with the doors when I take them off my Gladiator, looks like a trip to Lowe’s and I am all set.. thanks for this!!! Also gonna do the setup for the roof, I like it!! Great content and great ideas, thanks so much!!
Awesome! So glad that we could be of help to you 😎
@@wayalife amazing content, so happy to have found your site
Another excellent video. Camera, audio and storytelling just spot on. I don't even have a Jeep and I watch just because the videos are so well made.
LOL - truly flattered to hear you say as much. Thank you.
@@wayalife Most importantly the editing is tight. Makes it very enjoyable to watch.
Love videos like these. Keep them coming!! Production quality is amazing as well.
Thank you. So glad to hear you like videos like this and that you like how we make them 😎
What a great video I can have my spare bedroom back lol definitely going to do this
Awesome! So glad we could help you out with this one! 👍
That was a great way to store the doors!
Glad you approve 😎
ok you get a thumbs up...in the summory put all the parts..only suggestion I have! I have a question...Can you just use the eye bolts and skip the lumber?
As in, just put the eye bolts into the wall? If you do that, your doors will not sit flush to the wall as the mirrors will push them away from it
@@wayalife Yes that is what I was referring to..thank you!! Enjoyed the video!
AWESOME video! Thanks for posting it. I have been looking for a really simple, sturdy way of hanging my JK doors and this is it. BOOM!
Glad I could help!
Built this today and it works perfectly. Thank you so much for this great video!
Awesome! So glad to hear we were able to help you out. 👍
Works great thanks for the idea!!
Happy to hear our video was helpful to you.
Great video 🤙🏻
I have mine a bit lower on the wall so its easier to line up the pins .
That would definitely help.
Love this solution! Going to try this once I get the hoist installed for the hard top.
Awesome!
@@wayalife are you putting anything over the doors while hanging in your garage to protect?
@Marty Sharpe yes, I put a sheet over them to help keep dust off.
Really useful and at the same time, the proper and secure place for the doors. Awesome job Eddie as always. Many thanks for sharing.
Happy to share some of the things that I come up with and with the hopes that it can help others out :)
Nice, thanks and always good to see Ripley!
LOL - awesome and glad you like seeing Ripley :)
Great job and I admire your ingenuity.
Thank you very much! 😎
Dude.. This is amazing.. Starting this TOMORROW. Thank you thank you
Awesome! So glad that we could be of help to you 😎
Thanks for posting these. Your tutorials are excellent.
Glad you like them!
Worked like a charm. Beautiful mother's day gift. Works as advertised. Just got through with it. Took me about an hour but it's done. Also I wanted to know is it the same measurements for the back doors?
Awesome! Glad our video was able to help you out and yes, it'll be the same for the rear doors as well.
Well done. Definitely doing this. New subscriber from Canadian 2 door Jeeper.
Awesome! Thank you!
WAY NICE!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to make and post the vid -much appreciated.
Glad you liked it! 😎
Thank you for the great video! Would it work using only 1 2x4 Project Lumber? In this way the hooks would be 2 inches apart from each other and you would hook the lumber to the wall in between the hooks , just in the middle of the lumber. Do you think this would be too risky and to much stress to one single lumber? Thanks, MG
I suppose it's possible if you can figure out how to secure it to the wall.
Another awesome video. Great that you share your knowledge and experience. Tell you sweet dog "good doggie" from a NM fan
Thank you! Will do! 😁
Awesome. Totally doing this. Already did the top lift you demonstrated like a year ago! Love it.
Hay just met you in front of ups store. Great rig.
LOL - it was a pleasure to meet you!
Thank you very much for this video ... I know what my project for the weekend is !!!
Awesome! Glad we could be of help to you :)
Absolutely fantastic.
I'm a DIY'er, but I could never come up with a good idea for a stable door holder in my garage.
Definitely doing this on my next free day off. Appreciate the tutorial!
👍👍👍
Awesome! So glad we could be of help to you 😎
Mind blown 🤯 that was so easy!!
LOL - glad to hear you think so :)
Such a great idea glad I found this channel.
Glad you found us and liked what we did here :)
Brilliant! And who doesn’t like saving money on a Jeep project?
Thank you and yes, I would think that everyone could appreciate something like this :)
This is so freaking awesome! Thank you! Just got my JLU and can't wait to build these. 🙌
Awesome! So glad that we could be of help to you :)
I need this, my garage is too small and this will help!
Awesome :)
Such a great idea! Clean and simple solution
Glad you like it! :)
