your camera is awesome, it takes such nice pics

 

Finally i found some good pics from that trip

 

I got pulled over for goin doorless in my ZJ and I asked if half floors would be acceptable and he said yes, and he had the motor vehicle law book in his lap, and I personally know this cop and he follows the law to the T. So half doors must be okay...

 

We've been pulled over in our old CJ and more recently in our TJ. And when you say to the very nice PA Trooper, "they're designed to come off". He says in PA they're for Offroad use only. I guess it's like the windshield, just because it can, doesn't mean it should. But I've only had problems in PA. Never in WV or upstate NY.

 

Good enough for me. Im gonna try to make a set of half doors out of a set on my 93 parts heep.

That cop was just being a dick and wrong. If your vehicle is designed from the factory to have removable doors(ie wranglers) you can do so by law. But if you are on a 'highway' you must have something there like a tube door or the factory Half doors.

 

I just picked up warrior products tube doors off craigslist about a month ago. I only used them once so far but they are nice.

 

From what I've been told, wrangler doors aren't made with the intentions of removing them. They're made to be easily interchanged with soft or hard doors. Technically it's illegal to remove your doors but a lot of officers look past it towards bigger legal conflicts.


Pa law technically states that the modification of any street driven automobile is against the law. I read that years ago in the '08 book I believe.

 

Just playing devils advocate but isn't every door made to be removed technically. I say that because what if your in an accident and the door gets damaged, you have to replace the door

 

It's just like the windshield, it's designed to fold forward. But is not legal on public access roads.

 

Did one of my half doors today

 

The cop told me wranglers ARE legal because the door doesn't really add any side impact support thats why the tub comes up so high unlike XJ's, ZJ's, etc which just have a rocker panel. Our doors have a lot of side impact help unlike wranglers, which his words while reading the motor vehicle guide said it is illegal to modify a door(unbolting it) unless design from the factory to come off(wrangles just lift off with no modifying)

 

So if half doors are legal, would tube doors be legal? As we're coming into the summer months I'd like to start on a few cheapo mods for my jeep, and tube doors would be nice...

 

My manager's husband is a cop that drives a big lifted XJ. I'll have her ask him about the tubes
