I took my doors off and then put it on its side. tweaked the unibody and doors would never shut correctly. bought another rig and built some half doors for it.

does yours get wheeled?

I wheeled mine pretty hard last year without doors for about 3 months every other weekend. I didnt have sliders or bumpers yet and I never had a problem with them shutting. I play more on rocks then in mud. You will be fine. Ive had them off for about two years total with no ill effects.
