I've never been pulled over for being doorless. Had a cop say something about it once while he had me pulled over for something else, and was asking why I went through all the trouble to take the doors off. I told him that all I had to do was open the doors and lift them off, and I asked him if he gave Wrangler and CJ owners a hard time for removing their doors. He couldn't come up with an argument or a reason why I would need the doors, and that was the end of it.
And that's the only time anything has been said to me about it, and I drove around all last summer, and quite a bit when it wasn't too cold through fall and winter with no doors, and now have them off again, until we get a rainy day.

 

x2. It's mostly mirrors, the lip on the lower part of the door makes it legal in most states. You have to have something to contain your feet in a crash.

 

Mine was a 30 mm ammo can and I relocated my parking brake... a little more involved :P

 

Most states have this as there law.

Doors are not required equipment, but mirrors and seatbelts are

Most the rule applies like this. Two rear facing mirrors and one on drivers side.

There isn't anything special about wranglers and the law.

 

My jeep was doorless year round when i lived in florida. Now tham im here in England and I cant do it as often, becuase of all the rain. I did the typical door hinge mod so they can be pulled off easily. After 2 years of it being like this I havent noticed any chassis bending/flex issues, door fitmnet problems or anything really. Just be sure to realign them after the mod since the bushing in the hinge WILL come out. Then find a way to redo all of you wiring, like a QD or something.
I have manual windows and locks, so it was easy. All I did was grab a rear soundbar from an XJ in in JY and mount it above the front seat headrests to move the door speakers. So, no doors, no wires, still have tunes, and all the visibilty I can ask for

 

i know here in illinois (at least i'm pretty sure) you only need side mirrors if your rear window is tinted so if it's clear you're good to go without side mirrors

 

Same here in New York for tint. if your back window is tinted you need drivers side & passenger side, side mirrors. Rear view windsheild mirror isn't req'd. But for doorless (going back to my wrangler days), i think all I needed was the drivers side, side mirror & a rear view windsheild mirror.... Not 100% sure though

 

any chance you have a pic of how you mounted that sound bar?

 

Here is mine

 

Good to know I was wrong. I will be removing my doors this weekend !

 

I made a lock box for mine today! Nobody is gonna get into it but me!lolol . I love having the doors off.

 

I also have manual windows and locks

 

I dont have a pic of mine, but its just like his. Only difference is that mine is centered on the front dome light with the light remounted into the sound bar. oh, and i recovered mine grey to match my headliner lol

 

Or you could do this....i like it and it sounds good..but I want a sound bar too..i had more pics, but can't find them..

 

Well then your life is gunna be way easier than most people lol I purposely bought my XJ with manual windows and locks. Mostly becuase of the reliabilty, and less things to worry about, but having lighter weight doors and no electronics to deal with to go doorless is nice too
