Topic: Half Doors

[st.chevrolet]

Where I live its already decided for me! If the vehicle was manufactured with doors it cannot be driven on city streets or provincial highways without doors. Failure to do so gets you a $186.00 fine. The only Jeeps that can be driven without doors are CJ's manufactured in the years where doors were optional. Although they are not OEM supplied by the factory, soft doors and tube doors are tolerated.

That sucks...Michigan law allows for doors off thanks to the sill on the bottom that is raised up from the floor.

I head down the highway at 70 mph with no doors and love it...the most relaxing position in my Jeep is to have my left leg propped in the corner of the door opening by the bottom hinge.

I thought for you it would be standing behind the drivers side tire humping the Jeep...

That's what pegs are for...

That's pretty cool.  In the old flatfenders the seats were flatter and you could put your foot on the small step just behind the front fender.  Also, you could fold down the window and throw a foot up on the cowl.

Until you stop really fast and your passenger ends up crumpled over on the hood.

must no have been driving it down any real terrain.. when we drive our willys if we did that our legs would be pulled off by tree limbs and or we would fall out of the jeep... although it is nice top put your legs up on the cowl when you have the seats reclined (obviously non original)..

The doors off is nice till it's near freezing or coming down from the mountains at night. To darn chilly, the best of both worlds is portable doors of some kind. Another thing to think of on rocks is not to get a rock caught in the doop opening and destroy the door post. Tube doors would be a good investment for that

This is why I like my soft half doors. It helps keep your legs in in case of a rollover.

That is a wicked rollover isn't it

[chardrc]

wow must be steeper than it looked.. gave me flashbacks to my recent 4wheeler barrel roll down a hill into a tree.. i think i will be afraid of hills for a while because of that one... but ya in a jeep its a good thing to keep body parts in when rolling happens

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the appendages hanging out of the Jeep.

For the record, pegs are off when wheeling it. The above pic is actually a dirt road in the Nicolet Forest.
