I thought being a uni body the doors add strength for body flex when wheeling.Unless you have some kind of cage.

Yes, on a unibody vehicle the doors are very important pertaining to the structural integrity of the vehicle, during an impact or rollover. I have been running trimmed/half doors for almost a year now. Its awesome and easy to do. Here is a pic at Evans last November.....with no heater.

It is tough to make a half door much lower than that because of where the door latch is. You could cut lower, but your cut would have to come back up towards the back of the door. The only other option to completely relocate where the door latch is.

actually Bill, I think its because I am just a badass






















LOL! Eskimo?? I dont know anything about that....actually you guys would be surprised at how little wind blows through with half doors. also, I removed all the carpet which allows more heat from the engine compartment to enter the cab...and when on the trails, we are usually moving very slowly
