I've got no experience with power windows and locks. And mine is a 2 door, so window controls would be non-existent with tubes.
I was looking a day or two ago trying to figure out an easy way to pull off the doors on my 87. It didn't seem easy. :/

I took off the front doors of my first xj. it wasn't too bad if you dont care about cutting. 2 of the screws strippped so got the sawzaw out. but once i took the doors off the back windows wouldnt roll up.

HA! I love being a 2 door!
The goal would be taking them off and still have the ability to put them back on. I live in Wisconsin, so winters are long and real effin cold. This will be my DD once it gets too cold to ride my motorcycle.
What did you do to keep your dome lights off? Do the tube doors hit the switch to cut the lights off? Did you pull a fuse?
I currently have no light bulbs in the interior lights, so I chose the "easy" route. I still don't know if I'm ok, though, cuz I haven't pulled the doors yet. I'm a little concerned that I missed something and will come to find a dead battery shortly after I go doorless.

you could always put the dome light back in and find the fuse that is used for them. or find something to push the pin in that trips the dome light so the jeep thinks the door is shut all the time. if you could make it so that the door hits that little pin i think thatd be best.

Couple that with me being too lazy to look it up in my Haynes guide, and we've got a real winner!

Thats what I was looking to hear! That fuse!!! I know there is one for Wranglers, but I wasn't sure if the one on the Cherokees disabled more than just dome lights. My truck is rough enough to no longer have fuse box covers, therefore there isn't a diagram explaining which fuse to pull.
