Default Removing the doors

Hello All,

I am in the market for a new wrangler, and want to make sure that I can remove the doors.

Just to confirm what I have read, this can only be done with the non-power doors, correct?

Or can the power door be removed as well?

Many thanks!

Toad is correct, they all come off the same way. ~ No worries.

You're good Patch! Doors come flying off no matter what model.

I have a old blanket that I fold a couple of times and then prop the doors against the wall with the bottoms sitting on the blanket. It works for now, but I think I'm going to Home Depot and getting some ladder hangers and then I can just hang them on the wall.

I took one of mine off, and then stood there holding it thinking "ok, now what?"

Didn't want to just lean it on against a wall in the garage because the bottom of the door might get damaged with all that weight sitting on it on hard concrete. Didn't want to lay it down.

Talked my wife into ordering a "door dolly" from Quadratec for my Xmas Now I'll know what to do with them

I made a door dolly. It works great and didn't cost much to make. Beats carrying them to jeep.[IMG][/IMG]

Lying flat (metal side up) on a comforter in the living room floor when I'm lazy. Resting against the wall on the carpeted floor in an upstairs guest bedroom when I get tired of tripping over them in the living room / playing hopskotch in the window openings.

My important notes:

1) always roll windows down before beginning

2) work a door at a time

3) nylon footman strap is last thing off and first thing on to prevent wind from swinging door open and giving the Jeep dimples.
