Installation

The Rugged Ridge Fortis Front Tube Doors are designed for a straightforward, no-drill, bolt-on installation that most Jeep owners can complete in under an hour with basic hand tools. Simply remove the nuts from the bottom of the factory door hinges, lift the OEM doors off, and hang the Fortis Tube Doors in place using the included factory-style hinge pins. The rotary latch mechanism comes pre-assembled on each door — no additional setup required. Adjust the included nylon straps to your preferred door-swing limit and you're ready to hit the trails. A wrench and socket set are recommended. Professional installation is not required but is available at authorized Rugged Ridge dealers.
