4 doors off ?
Anyone taking all 4 doors off without frame stiffners and driving in the woods or do u think it will tweak the body?

Agree with above.
The doors don't provide in the way of structure. They are there for protection.... against the elements and well... you know... side impact...

Yes, and it's just common sense. Think about it. If the "frame" or door frame twisted, even while you had your doors in, it'd pin them shut or something of the sort.

The jeep has alot of body flex.
the main area's it will crack because...
IT WILL CRACK
are the door jams and then under the back seat/cargo floor transition.
I have seen cracks in both places. and on my jeep it is cracking in the door jams.
Think about it. flex it out then open your hatch, then try to shut it. It will be off about 2 - 3" and will not shut
