its a very easy mod as long as the door pins dont break. and i mean once you cut the door pin the door will never sit flush again with the stock door pins. but iv heard 3/8th bolts will bring it back to closing flush. iv yet to try that though.

they will sag a tid bit and after wheeling with no doors they sag a little more then before.. i am going to look into using the 3/8th bolt mod and see how that works. look in the advanced cherokee section i beleive my thread is just called wheeling with no doors and there is alot of info posted up there about it.

Thats not that strong of a bumper if it only ties into factory bumper holes your bumper is going to rip off when you needs hard tug or winch it
