Default Rear DOORLESS 4 door cherokee ???

Alright so today I was offroading and I was having a conversation with my friend about takeing the doors off, and he was argueing with me about how hard it is to remove the front two...so he recommended just making the rear two doors doorless.

I thought about it for a second, while going through some mud, and thought to myself, would that even look good??

So I made this thread to discuss...
1) Is it easier to take the back two off, obviously i know it is but is it different etc.
2) Would it even look good?
3) Anyone have any pics or suggestions...
Thanks

Why is the rear easier then the front? Just get the T-30 star socket thing, a 1/4 wrench (I used a ratcheting wrench and it made it a brease), put socket in wrench, twist, disconnect wires. Once I figured out that little trick it went pretty quick. I hope your strong or you'll need a second set of hands.

its easier for the back to be removed because of lack of window pillar and fenders like the front has, and it gets in the way making it harder to remove

you unbolt your doors everytime you want to take them off??

why not just do the hinge mod? atleast then you wont have to re-align your doors and it will only take a few seconds per door to remove whenever you want to

Sorry if I was unclear, but I did cut the hinges and I take all the doors off in less 4 mins and lockem' up with a chain to whatever is closest

Seriously. Someone slap this guy. The major benefit of doorless is ability to lean out and have better vision of your obstacles. How the hell are you going to lean out your rear door while driving.

Removing the doors is much easier than you hear, whether you modify the hinges to easily remove and reattach or just completely remove the hinges.

By removing the rear doors you give the passengers a chance to check out whats going on too and it's an excellent "verison" on A/C. ha ha ha
