Open your doors in traffic along a busy street or if at home, park next to and close to your wifes lexus, then just pull forward about 20 feet or so, open the doors, back up really fast and presto, doors are off.. (dont try this at home though unless you have a REAL understanding wife) .
I know when I was kid once, it worked on my 65 Impala, and I wasn`t even trying..
Never heard the end of that story till Ma passed away,, it was one of her favorites,

I find it easier to grind the lower bolts off on the hinge to create a post like hinge that the TJ's have.
also find some harness plugs to make your connectors, example trailer 4 pin plugs male/female set

thats what my bud did in his XJ. In this shot they cruised Woodward with only the doors LOL

HaHa that is awesome. Hopefully someone that goes doorless this summer will do a really nice write up with some decent pictures. It seems the few write ups out there are just kind of random with information and picture...well to me anyways.

Keep in mind this only works for pre 97s as post 96's have different door hinges.

Yea and there are not to many 97+ write ups that are great. Hopefully this summer I will get some time to really look things over and come up with a really nice game plan and write up.
Man again those are some good looking doors going down the street there.
