learned something new tonight :)

so I have been fighting my fender /hood fitment for a while now and I learned something new. my gaps were a little tight so I figured I would re do the doors and work forward. after fighting for what seems like forever I decided that the front of the doors needed to come up. but no matter how much you pull up and grunt and try to hurry and tighten the bolt It just was not working. then a light bulb came on. I went and got my scissor jack for my titan. it has a grove in it that lines up with the pinch weld on the truck. so I figured I would put a rag in the grove for protection and then I set it under the door and put some lift on it. loosened the hinges and bumped them up. after I tightened them down. they were perfect. and closed like butter. then sure enough. fenders and hood lined up like butter too. its amazing how much difference 1/8" makes. so for anyone out there having issues. try jacking the doors. grunt and a quick wrench will leave you all jacked up lol!
