i know this is reviving a pretty old thread but for anyone out there driving doorless i just have a few questions.
1.) have you ever had stuff stolen or had stuff fly out of the jeep while driving?
2.) doesnt it feel eery to not have a door there? does it feel like youre going to fly out of the jeep?
3.) my wheels stick out of the fenders a slight bit so it slings small rocks against the side of my jeep, have any of you ever been hit by these small debris because youre doorless?
thanks

I don't have pool noodles or inner fender plastic.
Statistics show that if you remove the doors the Jeep is more top heavy and will roll over on the highway.

The only proven method to counteract the increased top-heavy situation caused by going doorless is to put your spare on the roof. The extra weight helps "weigh down" the cherokee

When you remove the plastic fender liner it's open to the doorsill. Stick a noodle down the hole then cover with the expanding foam Good Stuff. Then once it's dry you can paint it black or with bedliner.
