No you pull the carpet.for the terrential rainstorm you are bound to end up in. Just ask no_rdplz about that.

Yeah, check out my build thread. You'll get the whole story that led to me pulling the carpet out of mine.

Hah, I check the weather a hell of a lot more than I used to when it's nice enough out to stick the doors in my storage unit.

Haven't gotten around to it, but I want to make some 2 piece soft doors that I can carry with me to throw on when I need to for storms and such. Til then I just keep two tarps with me that are rolled up. If a storm pops up I can just go out to the Jeep and attach them to the luggage bars and roll them down over the door openings to keep the water out.

I don't have carpet though, but it didn't have carpet when I bought it. Keep debating on buying some new black carpet from Team Cherokee, but I don't see me keeping up with it enough for it to be worth the $250 or so it costs.

Any good thought on homemade half doors?

There's a few write ups on here and NAXJA. Saw a guy who had custom 2 piece soft doors made too that looked great. I'll see if I can't dig up pictures of them.

I've also heard CJ/YJ soft doors fit on XJs just fine, but I've never tried it.

Those soft ones are nice...and thanks

I'd also suggest cutting the roof off. THAT has been my favorite modification to my Jeep.

Really? Might have to look into that...

Did a little digging and they don't line up 100% obviously as far as the shape goes, but apparently they do go on just like they would on a CJ or YJ and are fully functional.

Makes me curious if CJ5 doors would work on the rear doors since they have a similar shape.
