The doors add no structural support to the body. Just make sure to check the local and/or state laws regarding doorless rigs.

The doors protect the B pillar. If you wheel in big rocks & take a hit decent hit on the pillar , you could be in a little trouble if you ever want to put the doors back on & have them work and line up correctly.

Otherwise go for it, like Canman said, check local laws.

Sorry to semi-hijack... but is it possible to (easily, preferably) make the doors on a '99 doorless? I know they changed the hinges on years after 97.

Az law states that you only need 1 mirior so as long as your rear view is still there you are good no laws about the doors needing too be on and just make sure you keep your seat belt on at all times and dont rest your foot on your door hinges and cops SHOULD leave you alone.
