Default Beach riding with no doors

Ow much sand will actually get in the jeep? It's a brand new 4door rubi. I want to roll with no doors but don't want to get a lot of sand in my new ride.

With or without doors, if you get out it is going to be full of sand anyway... I actually use a leaf blower to get all of it out before I put the top and doors back on mine... You could also strip the carpet out before going but I say SCREW IT!!

You'll get some in. The faster you go and more you throw up will make a difference. Go and have fun. It vacuums out easier than you think. A lot will blow out on the way home.

Dude..... It's a jeep. I've got crusted mud in my jeep from a trip with no doors. Might want to return it for a Subaru. Lol. Kidding. Don't do that.

I recently got my wrangler as well and had those concerns too. When on a trail or on the beach sand and dirt will get inside. It goes with the territory, but cleans out pretty good. Especially if your doorless, return trip on streets will blow a lot of it out. You could always remove carpet pull your plugs and just hose it down lol

I go with no doors all the time on the beach and as long as I stay under 15mph I don't get any in the jeep. I get more in the jeep from my feet then from driving.

Just go get it dirty inside and out. Thats what it's for. I try to keep mine nice inside but I don't get too worried about it. I have kids, strike one. I have a Siberian husky, a big strike two. And I'm always tracking mud or sand in it from mountain biking, strike three. Besides, mud, dirt and sand add character to both the interior and exterior.

Jeeps are ROUGH SERVICE vehicals, dirt inside and out just add to it's appeal.
