Only ones I've seen:
http://www.rjroffroad.com/warrior-tube-doors-for-84-96-2-door-cherokee-offroad-pr-18075.html
In my opinion, running without doors (or with tube doors) on a 2-door isn't a problem, but then again I haven't had a chance to run mine without doors yet so maybe my opinion will change. Comparing a 4-door without doors and a 2-door without doors, the 2-door has a more vertical material, even though it's all at the back and the gap without any vertical material is longer. It seems like I've seen plenty of 2-door people do it and not have any ill effects, but I can't recall a case where running without doors caused (or would have prevented) taco-folding.
Billy has been around a while though, so if it has happened then there's a better chance that he knows about it than I do.

Because more people have 4dr XJs then the much cooler 2dr.
Plus a 2dr looks better with half doors then tube doors, tube doors look better on 4dr XJs...andy...miobi.org
