Default Door Removal

Does anyone here drive with the nuts off the door hinges so that the doors can come on and off easily? It seems like the doors wont fall off if they are shut while driving and it would also be easier to remove them without having to get the tools out.

Put the nuts! If you have an accident, a door could fly away and kill a person.

Don't know in USA, but in Quebec, it's illegal to remove the nuts

Really? How the heck would they know?

Not like a cop is going to pull you over because he noticed you didn't have any nuts on your doors

I totaled a 2004 TJ with the door nuts off. Doors didn't budge. I have also rolled/flopped many many times (unfortunately) with other TJs and the doors did not budge without the nuts on them.

I have seen a TJ roll where they did come off. So don't believe it is not possible. Just extremely unlikely.

Just take the doors off. Bikini top, or no top. And a cover at night to keep the creatures out.

I think the nuts might be in the glove box but really not sure.
