Did my doors using a folding ladder, strapping the door by the window frame to the top step. Worked well

I bought my 96 blazer this week, haven't got a whole lot done yet. Change the oil, air filter, and fuel filter today, going to be going through the engine and underbody this weekend checking for any issues.
