Hahaha I know I've only done it two times so I'm sure as time goes on ill be able to do it myself

 

Fronts can def be heavy, esp if youre tire anyway. Easiest way to pick them up for me is my outer arm through the window to hold the ext handle and my inside arm on the bottom towards the front. Keeps it level, evenly distributed and lets your hip take some of the weight off your arms.

 

was actually thinking about modifying my doors a bit to cut down on weight.. hopefully I have some downtime at work today

 

Yea 70lb if you have full power, but all manual is about 45lb, very easy to take on and off

 

I want to find some manual doors but cant. Im tired of power crap not working right!!! And the weight of the power locks that dont work i dont even have a door key window locks that dont work windows that work sporadically

 

Could try n wire up a two way momentary switch to each door and ditch the power locks completely n just use the toggles on the door panels.

 

Yeah, I always run my arm through the window and grab the outer handle and then the bottom. They're not bad, but I'd love to find a set of manual doors for the weight difference and not having to worry about power locks/mirrors/windows.

 

My mpgs went up by 2-3 also. Weight is more important than drag coefficient when it cones to fuel mileage apparently!

 

Ha. me too. odd how that works

 

On something that has the aerodynamics of a shoebox, weight reduction is just about the only way to gain a few mpg. I get 3-4 better with no doors than with them on

 

That's because we drive bricks/refrigerator boxes on wheels.

There is nothing aerodynamic about an XJ. Lol

 

Ya i went from about 160 miles a tank to about 240 a tank i have a tiny tank and ya i dont even lock my junk i have no door key so i may just wire up a toggle switch to the doors for winders

 

kirk, thats pretty clever to put the peg for a foot rest.. also, damn you ALL for being doorless. Besides winter being our longest season, its been raining pretty much every single day this "summer".. all i know is im jealous.

 

It's so much fun driving doorless in the rain. Definitely wouldn't suggest if your interior is relatively nice though lol

 

Did the doorless thing myself, glad i saw this thread bc i was wondering what to do about the mirrors.
