Step 1 : Goto local Jeep Dealer
Step 2: Buy a JK Unlimited
Step 3: Take doors off and be done with it

I just did mine two days ago. I screwed up though and cut the bottom door mount hole off because of a youtube vid I watched. Still will work. But with fixed pins on the door its too hard to line up. So I am changing it to removable pins.

With the passenger side I just ground the bottom of the pin off, drove the pin out, and replaced with oversize pins.

So when I want the doors off I pull the clips, pull the pins, and remove the doors.

I love it with the doors off. Better than I thought. Mine is a 2000.

Check and see if its legal in your state to be doorless first,A lot of states you have to run tube doors and a drivers side mirror.Never give the cops a reason to pull you over and find other things to write you up over.

Hinges are exactly the same. only thing I don't know is where to pull the plugs from, but that's easy to figure out..

I don't see how it is easier with removable pins?? I had removable pins and it was a pain in my ***. with my fixed pins they go in and out as easy as a wrangler.

You could always bust out a skinny T40 torx bit and wrench out those bolts, and pray that you don't strip them like I did.
