Title: Door Less.
Post by: zookiemike on March 30, 2004, 03:50:47 PM: Took my doors off to day...IT WAS GREAT you no how many jeep owners i pissed off. A word of advice, Dont un bolt the doors try to take out the pin's. it'll be so cool this spring to go up to the dunes without doors.

Post by: lil_Truck on March 31, 2004, 04:07:14 AM: It's great for around town and on the dunes. Ã‚Â But I'd be in trouble in Michigan with the water and mud.

Speaking of Dunes, I'll be up there this weekend. I'm finally selling my cabin and getting a motorhome!! So I'll have a nice place when I go to things like Zookimelt, Gone Zookin, etc... And also back to the dunes.

So cops aren't going to bother me if I were to take off my doors?

BTW, the only way to mud is with the windows down/doors off ;D

They should'nt bother ya.. Just wear them seat belts

Btw. I do think you need mirrors
Title: Re: Door Less.
Post by: Mike71 on March 31, 2004, 10:34:56 AM: in cali u need mirrors..but i only got hastled AFTER i got the 15s...so i kind of attracted the unwanted attention..so legaly in cali u HAVE to have mirrors..not a big deal any sh#ty auto zone mirror counts =) i saw a dude last nite that had this tiny tiny little pos mirror that he couldnt possibly use

so if u get pulled claim ignorance..if they give u a fix it itl only cost like 20 bucks..
Title: Re: Door Less.
Post by: lil_Truck on March 31, 2004, 11:00:50 AM: In Michigan, you also need mirrors, but I never had a problem. I also have a dune buggy that has a number of things missing and never had a problem.

Where your seat belt and don't speed and you'll be OK.

Title: Re: Door Less.
Post by: Mike71 on March 31, 2004, 12:47:37 PM: just ask a cop next time u see one..no harm in waiting till u get pulled over either =) just explain that u had no idea because u have seen so many heeps driving around like that ;D
Title: Re: Door Less.
Post by: 90Stomper on March 31, 2004, 01:11:55 PM: ;D ya i love talking to cops, specialy when i pull up in a lifted tracker with mud tires and a loud exhaust and black windows ;D i like being out of mind and therefor out of sight 8) peeps around here are not into atvs or people who like to go muddin, to many farmers... maybe i can get my g/f to do it :-/ ;D thanks
Title: Re: Door Less.
Post by: Mike71 on March 31, 2004, 04:15:01 PM: lol well taking ur doors off wont help u to hide in the open...u will attract even more attention..besides aslong as ur tires dont stock out past the fenders/mud flaps ur all legal

My lower driver side pin was rusted and i didn't want to mess so i just un bolted them. TRY TO TAKE OUT THE PINS becuse the doors are a pita to lift..bolt..and line up at the same time ;D

Post by: 1bigtracker on March 31, 2004, 10:12:56 PM: what about if you had a few guys to help?

Title: Re: Door Less.
Post by: lil_Truck on March 31, 2004, 11:33:49 PM: Oil them up for a week and pull the pins! Trying to unbolt and bolt them back up is a pain. Plus you have to align them every time.

I can remove and install the doors myself and do it quickly.

Here you can see how I painted the door jam to make it look good. Ã‚Â You can just see the whites of the hinges, I didn't want to paint where they came together. Ã‚Â I used a bedliner type paint.
