Question Removing Doors

I recently decided i wanted to take the doors off my 91 jeep cherokee. So i looked at it and i cant figure out how thw wiring is donw on the front and rear. Id like to be able to take the doors off in matters of minutes. the rear doesnt seem to have a "plug" to disconnect and the wires in the front arent long enough to pull thru so if it stays the way it is that means i have to unscrew the panel everytime i want to take off my doors?

any suggestions on how to go about my dor removal or any pictures of yalls door removals?

what i did was slice in some 4 prong trailer connectors. i only that the fron speakers and windows working cause thats all i need but u can make this principle work for you they sell a bunch of cool connectors at most auto stores and its a good convo starter. "why is there wires comming out of ur door like that"? "here let me show you". " holy crap that cool"!

you know there is plugs in the kick panels, atleast for the front doors and thats easier to do instead of pulling the door panels off everytime, i need to put in some trailer wire plugs into mine

when i did mine i pulled the switch off the door and mounted it in the center console. then i just extended the wires to the window motor. my mirror are knocked off daily and i dont care about the door locks and speakers. for the two wires to the window i just put some quick disconects. female and male adaptors.

When you mounted the switch in the console did you run it under the dash?
