Default doorless 2door

so i tried to look through some threads and i couldnt find anything on 2 doors.
i have an 87 cherokee 2 door, and as anyone with a 2 door will say... they are heavy. i have had my doors welded on. i still have access to the 3 bolts holding the hinge onto the door but thats about it.

i was wondering what you guys might recomend for me to get removable doors or just soft doors.

It depends on bow you remove them and how you reinstall them.

Doors come come off, they can be put back on correctly.
