I smashed my TJ tub in the same spot..I used a come-a-long and a tree and it pulled right out. A buddy with a winch would also work. You need to make a 10”-12” long section of a couple pieces of angle iron to reach around the back and hook the B pillar and out she goes! I welded a piece of scrap tube on the angle to put the hook through. I ain’t show car nice but for a woods Jeep it looks great and the half door now shuts and stays closed .
