Looks good. I love the look without the doors. I can't wait til spring time! So are there just a couple of connectors in the doors that you can unplug when removing them? What did you do about the hinges? Completely unbolt them? Make a pin so it's like a Heep Wrangler? Did I mention I can't wait til spring time?

The plugs for the doors are behind the kick panl. it's easier to unplug them befor you unbolt the doors. i left the hinge on the car for a foot rest. mark the door wher the hinge is befor you unbolt it and that will help you line it bake up when you put them back on. you will need a friend to help i try to do it by myself and the door fell off the jack and now ther is a big dent on the bottom of the door.

I've heard that it's because they have a "lip" on the side of the Jeeps, so stuff couldn't fall out. I've been researching the laws in GA about it, and all I have to do is have 2+ mirrors (one of them is my rear view mirror) and I'm all legal.

I'm building tube doors this spring, so I'll be adding some mirrors to it. Might get some Heep TJ mirrors and door latches for it.
