Done it, but not intentionally... Had the doors off and forgot to put them back on. Didn't realize this until the next morning when it was 45 degrees out side. I had to get to work and didn't have time to put them back on so just drove with them off. Good thing for the heaters in these JKs!

There was a blizzard last year when I lived in boston. Was bored so i decided to take the doors off and go for a drive. The looks I got were pretty amusing, but it was wicked fun

I took off the freedom tops off and rolled down my windows tonight in similar temperatures. I wore a jacket and a bennie. It helps me look at the stars at a red light. Lol it's a Jeep thing.

I had my doors off the other day for a wheeling trip. About an hour and a half both ways on the freeway at 50 degrees.

I hardly ever have my doors or soft top on. Although even in TX it was still 40's today, i just bundle up in my full Carhartt overalls.

Here's a pic of my last Jeep, no doors or windows, but it had a top.

Lol, I was a dockworker at Con-Way up in Tulsa, when winter hit, them docks were snow tunnels. I've gotten use to the cold over the years. My Jeep would have ice and snow in my seat, thank Glad for trash bags (seat covers).

I drove the 5 hr drive from Phoenix, AZ to Johnson Valley, CA last February to check out the King of Hammers race. No doors, no top! Along my travels of I-10 west it was about 55 degrees when the sun was up and about 39 at night. I was freaking freezing, my seat heater was just barely taking the edge off. Still had a blast though.

Cold here too! Rode with freedom tops off and front windows down yesterday. Brrrrrrrr!

Kids rode around today with both back windows down.

We were all sporting coats and beanies though.
