Does anyone have any ideas for cheap and easy garage storage? Other then sitting on garage floor and leaning against the wall.

Get some hinges from the hardware store with the same size hole or just a tad bigger than the stock hinges. Or see if you can get hinges from a bone yard off a Jeep. Screw/bolt them to a nice sturdy stud and hang them the same way they go on your Jeep. I haven't done it yet but that's what I plan to do with mine. For now, I'm risking it putting them in the shed with lawn equipment.

I put mine in Bestop door storage jackets. They are padded and protect the doors well.

They are for full doors, but I put my 1/2 doors and soft uppers in them during the winter.


Then, I lean them against a wall on my garage floor!:rofl:

That's sounds like a great idea, you could even hang em high on the rafters of the garage.

I did something very similar but used 1 inch rubber coated straps from Lowes. They are in the specialty hardware section in one of he drawers. Worked very good and offer protection.

So I went to Lowes for some stuff around the house today and was thinking of this thread again as I drove there. I couldn't find any hinges that would work for my door storage idea so I got some of these instead...


I tried mounting these two different ways; both up on the ceiling and along one vertical stud. I think I like the ceiling better but need to move some stuff so I can fit them with the uppers still attached.

nice, no reason that wouldn't work on full doors

Thanks for the feedback. I went the lowes rubber coated brackets and it worked great. It was so easy and cheap.

No problem at all!!! I add a eye hook a couple inches from one of the bracket and use a zip tie around the hinge just to make sure it don't slip out...a bit of overkill but if a door ever slipped out that would be bad!
