You had it half-way right.  Pulling the hinges off is one way to remove the doors.  You can also cut the hinges up to allow them to be quickly removed.

There is a nice writeup at http://www.off-road.com/trucks4x4/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=277589

Get you an impact screwdriver.  I picked one up last month from harbor freight for under $7.  Makes it MUCH easier getting some of those stubborn screws off.

Something like this should help.
Or just cut the hinges off. Pretty easy. I did it in about an hour with a dremel tool and some little cut off wheels

Interesting enough - I don't like my impact screwdriver  :'( It's got less torque than my screw gun.. which I can lean heavily on to make sure it doesn't strip out the screw. YMMV.
