I literally just installed the TMR bushings and the guides last weekend. One thing I did different is I put the pin in the bottom and then just rock the top up. But I am also a lot shorter than you are... so might be the difference for me. Keep an eye on your bushings, when I took my doors off this morning before work I noticed that the bushings wanted to come out with the doors, so I had to walk around and push them back in.
Interesting thought. Taking them off now is easy... But after a long season with them on, they may require some persuasion. I'd wrap it in a towl and use those channel locks to loosen them if they don't come off by hand.
I'm curious about the, NOT putting the nut back on. Is there a reason other than it being one less thing to take off? Are there any concerns about the doors stability etc? Just wondering.
Most Jeeper (around here anyway) that regularly remove their doors run without nuts full time. It's just something else you have to remove to get the doors off. There are no stability issues without the nuts and the doors remain locked in their hinges when the door is closed. The door has to be open to allow it to slide up out of the hinge. There is a thought that putting the door nuts back on will help keep *some* crud out that can build up over a long season with the doors on (winter), but that doesn't seem to bother many people. I suppose if you left your door unlocked, it would be easier to steal without the nuts... but to be frank, people that are stealing Jeep doors know how to remove the two nuts that are holding them on. So I have never seen it as a worry.
