Default Doors Off or On???

i have a 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.2Lt. on real nice days Ive been wanting to ride around with all 4 doors off. Ive never seen one with all the doors off. I have seen just the Cherokees like that but none like mine. Just asking opinions on if i should or not. Dont want to look like an idiot riding around.

I do not think you would look stupid but If you have power locks and windows which you have because you a limited it may be diffcult to do...here is a picture...

Its up to you, but you'll need to pull the fuse for the interior lights and figure out something to do with the wiring harness going to each door. I wouldn't take mine off mostly because they add some support to the uni-body.

For the interior lights I found a part online either 4wd or quadratec you just put this spring-like thing on the button that tells if your door is closed and it tricks it to make it seem like your door is closed

No support, body will flex the same with or without them.

Doors will not stop the flexing.

Wheeling without them won't hurt anything

Exactly, doors provide no structural support
