Keep the jeep empty, don't leave anything you'll miss in it.

Doorless will always attract thieves. A buddy of mine had a really nice Grant steering wheel that was stolen out of his doorless xj lol. Not worth the hassle imo especially if yoou have subs in the back like I do.

If someone wants something, they'll take it. Doors or not.

My XJ is usually empty. So I tend not to worry about it.

Sad, but true. Its also true that a doorless XJ will attract more bad attention that one with doors.

Just makes it easier.

Don't lock anything up. If there's a lock on it or the glove box is locked, then there is obviously something valuable in there.

That's a good idea. Because then you can lock the rear hatch
