Those tube doors look great! As far as the wiring for the doors and windows, i believe there's a harness from the door jamb, into the door that you can just unplug.

I have a set of tube doors waiting to be welded up and my thought was to use my parts jeep to make a second set of control panels on the underside of the dash somewhere. I found out that when you have a 4 door if you take the front doors off you cant roll up the back windows. Yeah that sucked.

i have the warrior products tube doors on my cherokee and i like the way yours look more. definitely built them. and as far as connecting your stereo, power windows, etc. i would use a trailer electrical connector, you know what you use to hook up the trailer lights to the truck. when i took my doors off there wasn't any kind of harness i could unplug unless i missed it.
Just kidding man. It is actually a great idea to use trailer connectors.
You can get them for $5 each (with male and female ends) from walmart.

i feel you on that one, i just unplug all mine from the kick panels, its easy and it only takes me about 10 mins to have both front doors off, the problem is getting them baack on, the mothers are heavy and its a pain to hold them up and try to put the pins in at the same time
