It looks awesome doorless, but you are def required to have a driver's side view mirror.
Check out this thread: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/showth...light=doorless
Thats what seat belts are for . . . you use yours, right?

I have a stock 96 4-door with a heavily sagged suspension and its looks bad*** without the doors. Check the lift/tire setup thread I think HeavyMetal has a pic of the front doors removed on a 3" and 31" setup.

When I bought mine me and my buddy had made the fronts removable but he said because of it being a unibody you dont want to do all four.

When my now truggy was street legal I ran doorless for the last fe wmonths of its life. I took A CJ7 mirror and ziptied it to my door hinges It satisfied the requiremnet of having 2 mirrors. Keep in mind you increase your chance of getting pulled over, and if the rest of your vehicle isnt legit... I wouldnt do it. Some local LEO might pull you over just to check different things on your rig.. just so they can meet their quota.

I know this is really late but I did make my doors removable and since then I have a 5.5" lift with 33" tires.. Everyone turns and looks when I go down the road. I love my jeep.
