The passenger door would be easier to remove. Once you get the door panel off you will see a clip that hold the lock cylinder in the door, remove that clip by sliding it from behind the cylinder, undo the clip that holds the rod on the lever and pull the cylinder out of the door.

The driver side is the same as the passenger side, I only suggested the passenger side in case something breaks you don't have to crawl across the jeep every time you need to unlock your drivers door.

That made me smile! Seriously, good plan. I'm glad you're using your genius for good ;-)

I know its too late but if there's a next time, just take the glove box lock out, easiest and quickest. Haha did this when I first got my xj, it came with no keys
