    I bought a acme hardtop and doors for my jeep and I installed the hardtop but the doors seem like they are a little bit more than I can handle. Is there anyone out there with a little bit of experience that would be willing to give this a try? I am located in Southern Illinois but jeep could also be in Southern Indiana as well.

    thanks,

    I've got an Acme being delivered Sunday or Monday....

    What do I need to know about installation (pictures would be great).

    Thanks

    first thing you are going to have to figure out is your hinge setup. You might have to move your upper hinge on your door down a little bit. second thing is the fit of the door in the opening. I have a fiberglass tub and my passenger side door looks like it is going to fit nice where as my drivers door looks like it is a little small.
    sorry I don't have any pics yet. I still don't have my doors on. It doesn't look that hard, its just what I am great at. Good luck.

    The doors are a total pain in the a** to install properly. You just have to keep readjusting them until they fit right. The only upside is that you only have to do it once. Oh yeah, you might have to drill new holes for the hinges on the doors. Total pain in the a**. Good luck.
