Default doors off in february!

a few questions guys/gals..... how does she look? what does she need? has anyone used plexiglass for the back hatch with a hinge to get good airflow?....and i will never drive with the doors if its dry and above 40 degrees, i promised my jeep that.

looks awesome! i had my doors off all day sunday, today was a little bad for that, it rained all day but im sure they will be coming off a lot more now that winter is definitely over haha, you should do the door hinge mod, it makes it alot easier and you dont have to unbolt your doors every time you wanna take them off, cause lining them back up is a pain, i finally got my doors aligned perfectly after months of them being really messed up

they are called limb risers, alot of landies use them, they raise any limbs over the windsheild, snokel, roof rack, and lights. they are very useful going down fourwheeler trails. youtube it. limb risers

yes, they are more functional than eye-pleasing, ive learned to love them, and the howling at 55 +mph. i might as well be in a helicopter with the doors off, the exaust full open, rack on top howling, limb risers whistling, the snorkel gulping, and the radio full blast at 70mph. its awesome.

i went one day with the front doors off and i was instantly itching to take of the rears. i have a dog cage in the back just so i can prevent some theft and lock the rear hatch, it seems to deter people, but if they wanted it real bad, then they would probably get it. i throw any loose items back there, or under my seat. thanks for the suggestion.

Take off the doors and two wheels like I did.

When I want to ride in the wind it's on a motorcycle!
