Not in my XJ, but in my CJ, I left my top at home over 100 miles away. Everyone that was passing me was honking and laughing, except for all the Jeeps that passed me, they all gave me the thumbs up. It wasn't actually that bad. Couldn't use the windshield wipers because it only cleared the front of the windshield. Good thing it was a warm evening!

That's exactly why I wouldn't remove the doors. Learned that lesson, a long time ago with a K-5 Blazer, And the top off.
