Default Doorless XJ in PA?

I've been tossing around the idea of running my xj doorless but in PA I dont think it is legal. Can anybody give me some insight? Would it be legal to run tube doors?

Having no doors isn't illegal. It's having no rearview mirrors. That is the law you need to look up.

Check DMV. Here in California you need to have mirror coverage.

Try again. Make sure you know their state law.

PA actually has a law on the books that says unless a.vehicle comes from the factory with removable doors you cannot modify your door/hinges to do so. The person actual copy and pasted PAs code from their website. I don't know.if tube doors would.work or not.

Plusi had a PA state trooper here on vacation ask me if it's legal here. I forget what he says the actual violation is.

Illegal in PA to go doorless per vehicle code, but you can run tube doors as it is considered a door. You may still get pulled over, but you're still within vehicle code of having doors.
