I do it all the time. In fact, the doors are off and the roof is on right now. When it's 100 degrees, I just don't need the sun beating down on me all day. I've had it up to 80mph with no issues at all.

I used to drive with the hard top on and doors off all the time. Never had an issue with it, but also didn't really take roads over 80km/hr

I usually open the back window when I have the doors off.

Done it plenty of times! Very awkward going 90mph! You'll be fine just make sure nothing flies out the back doors if ya got a four door

I see Jeeps with no doors and the hardtop on all the time. Never really considering "blowing out" the back window; I just always thought about the draft it'd cause. Seems like it would catch and slow the Jeep down even more... AND be even harder to get up to a decent cruising speed

I have a soft-top and always leave it up when the doors are off - too HOT in South LA with direct sun all the time. I do roll the back window up or take it off though.

And fold the back seats down if you have an Unlimited and nobody's riding back there OR be ready to purchase a new mat for back there because it will almost definitely get sucked out.
