it's really easy, i put a bunch of alignement lines with a sharpie so i could get them back straight, cut the pins and put the new modified pins in
I dont know if you saw this, but it's very helpfull

on thing when you go to drill the hole for the clip, grind a little bit so it's not rounded, it's easier to drill

just curious but why would they pull you over for not having your doors on? Jeeps can have theirs off. why cant we? because its not factory?

no doors are fun but can be scary! Especially out wheeling, you will feel like you ar going to fall out, if you roll nothing will keep your limbs inside the vehicle. I like my tube doors but even those aren't totally safe. As for getting pulled over, it's not illegal to have no doors otherwise guys with jeeps would be in real big trouble. Run it without em!

check your local laws. they are different in every state. in mine if the vehicle came with doors, you must have them on the vehicle. jeep doors are optional equipment so they can take them off.
you are really bad at geussing weight, please tell me you do not work at a carnival. doors weigh around 75 lbs. I'm getting ready to throw one out, I'll weigh it.

I have seen them for a few dollars less, but $125 is about the norm for pricing. I had a local guy quote me $209, I just laughed at him.
