Any of you ever regret making your doors removable or just don't like going doorless? Thinking about doing it this summer but can't make up my mind.

No, if you don't like it just stop taking them off.

yep, little bit of regret. I can't weld, so i'm stuck using replacement hinges/bushings, there's a bit of sag. of course, as soon as i take the doors off i forget how annoying the sagging is.

Actually no regret. They sag just a bit but not enough for me to worry about. They are easy to remove when the weather is just right. My A/C works so I will proly only have them off when its cool enough.
I also have power everything so I did this to keep from having to worry about a million wires on the drivers door.

I dont regret it at all. My doors are off roughly 90% of the time year round. Rain sucks when doorless, but other than that, I love it. One of my favorite mods by far.

You have them off and still not made disco pins? You have them off that's the hardest part haha.
