What are the Cons of running no doors as compared to the half door, tube door and full doors. Something to do with the Unibody effects the flex without doors? like does it torque the body.

IIRC the doors add no structural integrity to the unibody. But if you had no door and something hit the pillar then that would be a problem.

I ran my XJ with no front doors, and once it gets warm, the doors are comin off the MJ.

I ran my 2dr without doors all summer with no issues. I didn't wheel it hard but did get it out a couple times and no more body flex than with doors on. Either way I still can't open my tailgate with my both axles flexed out. Will do it again but would like to get a set of tube doors since my son is usually with my and in a few more years my daughter will probally be too. No worries about it.

And there are write ups on how to cut the door hinges so that they are lift off style like wranglers.

I've spent some time in Carson City, the company I work for has a shop there, it gets cold in the winter. Other than freezing in cold weather its not an issue.

If I'd had the door on, the tree stump would have slid right down the side of the jeep, instead... it didn't. So yeah, it's something to think about.
Off-topic, why's everybody taking their doors off at the end of November?!? I just put mine back on for the year...
