No doors? Will running without doors greater the chance of getting injured by the roof collapsing in case of rollover? Anyone else run doorless?

That was the main reason I put mine back on... scary thought getting t-boned with no doors....
The doors don't add structural integrity to the roof, so I wouldn't worry about that.

i run doorless no problems although it is a concern about something coming through or laying over onto something. half or tube doors are on the to do list

I really like running doorless, though side protection was a concern for either getting t-boned or flopping against a rock on the trail. my solution:

looking good, your getting there for an exo, thought about going over the top with that

it will be getting an exo type thing this fall/winter. I think I'm going to chop out the very top of the roof at the same time and it will be a combination of inner and exo cage, also under the front fenders like Goatman. It will actually serve primarily as a giant slider than a cage, I might flop it on a rare occasion, but definitely not going to do anything with real risk of multiple rolls.

nope, finally got a car (35mpg

That seems to do the trick, I took my doors off last night. I think I'll be closer to nature without doors. You know, let a little of the outside in... or should I say: alot of mud in. Oh well, it's a $400 dollar Jeep. I keep telling myself that...BrettM said:I really like running doorless, though side protection was a concern for either getting t-boned or flopping against a rock on the trail. my solution:

has anyone had trouble running doorless. Such as after going wheeling having a hard time putting the doors back on. I am a little afraid to do it just because they are unibody and I am a little worried thay might not go back on right.

The only time I have had trouble getting the doors back on is when i hit the door jam itself. Stuff doesn't just slide down the door... My new 2 door has no doors, and the back roof is cut off. I have a cage and door bars though. I was more worried about flopping on a jagged rock or something.
