Can anyone help me?

You should find this easy.
If the doors have never been removed you will find a nut on the bottem of each hinge pin. you will need to remove these. 2 per side.
If you have full doors Warning they are heavy. I like to open the door,roll down my window and reach through the window opening this way I know if I slip the door will catch on my sholder.
Grab the door somewhere near the hinge end. You will now need to pull upward as you work the door back and forth on the hinge. Once you work them free find a safe place to put then Doors are often stolen.
you can set then on an old piece of carpet or buy a special hanger just foor doors.
careful not to scratch them. More damage is done off the Jeep than on.
once they are off check out my post in the YJ section for Harley motorcycle footpegs that will mount on the lower hinge of Yj's and Cj's

Hey buddy.
Allright if your short standing on a step ladder may help in the leverage factor .
Okay next step undo the bolts set in a very safe place,like a zippy bag and staple it to the wall of you garage door.
second, if its stuck get some silicone lubricant ( no ky, tried that didnt work)
and spray into it best us you can.
Get your shoulder under the top window frame on a full door other grab the bottom and EVENLY pull not yank upwards.
if that dosent work get someone named moose or bubba to help.
dont forget to grease up the fastner rod thing that goes into the two holes though, you will find the passenger door a witch to get off if you dont.

my full doors took me almost a week to remove(trying about twice a day) once you get the doors off, sand the rust off of the pins, and coat them with some white lithium grease.
Take off the door stop straps and while evenly pulling up, walk the door to the front of the jeep then back to the near closed position. Repeat about 500 times per door(estimate) and they should come off. the second time will be alot easier.

I know how to take my doors off on my '90 wrangler, but I have a sound bar and the light stays on when I take the doors off. I don't know how to make the light stay off!!!
Please help.

I think the easiest way to keep the light off is to disconnect the push connecter right at the door. That way when you put them back on it is easy to reconnect. It is just a wire connecter on the back side of the door frame. Take a look...it is easy to find.

I think the easiest way to disable the light on the sound bar would be to pull the fuse; the fuse box is located behind the glove box, just take out the glove box and pull out the fuse (its the one labelled DoorSw Defeat , the very last fuse)

Without valuable, helpful threads like this, jeepforum would just be a forum where people talk about politics and gas prices. Hooray for bringing up old important threads.

huzzah for old threads with good info!!!!
