I just got back and installed the 4 doors and the soft top. First time, exactly 35 minutes. Piece of cake. Super easy.

I was trying to connect my rear wiring on the driver side and it just didnt feel like it was going all the way in. So what did my big ass do? I pushed a lil harded, the connector that that is secured to the jeep slipped out and my hand slammed into the plastic molding on the pillar and put a nice gash in my damn finger. It fuqin hurt!!

Great post on door removal. My questions is Why are people putting on and removing the doors more than once? Example I take my doors of at the beginning of the warm weather (june) and don't put them back on until the cold weather (september). the soft top is on the same schedule. Just wondering.

well here in ATL, GA when its 101 outside with a humidity of 90% and you sit in traffic everywhere you go you dont always want to get out of your Jeep with the back of your Tshirt soaked. And in the spring we have these lovely trees that smell like.... well.... parts of a woman we man enjoy who have not showered in awhile... and their polen gets everywhere.

"Parts of a woman" I like that. I'm sorry guys and gals. I didn't mean to rub anyone the wrong way. Up here in mass. if it rains and i'll throw a rain coat on other than that. I'm pretty much hanging all out.
