Me








Two separate trips











Haven't hugged any trees like this yet

 

The bulk of my question got left out...

 

These are the times when is sucks to be doorless during a ride haha. but it was a fun ride.

 

I have not been in that situation yet without the doors.

 

To the OP - YES, go doorless. One of the best mods you can do to your XJ. Just be sure to follow local laws for driving on the streets.

I haven't wheeled mine doorless yet but that'll be happening this weekend.

As for front speakers, easiest thing I found was installing a second sound bar.


And as for wiring - fronts I used harnesses from a ZJ with the Infinity system. They make it so it's all on one plug that's flush with the body when the doors are off. Rears are from Ford Windstar's. There's a 5-wire harness right next to the intake manifold on 'em.

rear:


All 4 off and loving it!

 

I used a 4 prong trailer hitch and a bullet connector for the rear. Wind star one is cool, any 5 prong would work though.

 

I just unplug the wires in the kick panel but that's getting old. I think I'll just hack the b-pillar out all together and lose the doors.

 

I find the back doors serve the purpose well enough. front doors have been far enough forward on the jeep for me to nose the front end through then drag the rear doors/quarters

wheeled without rear doors a couple times. caught a hinge on a rock and bent it. rear doors will be staying on. I have to keep the front doors off now. I'm too used to being able to spot myself
