Answered yes. However my jeeps go in the garage and they both have rain gear stored in them. So it would be a rare situation where I’d need to make this decision. But I’d leave it out naked under those conditions listed.
I just pushed them into the door and left them there. I prefer not to use them. If I want the doors off I don’t want to spend any time with bolts - plus I prefer the ease of it swinging vs locking.
Its also an excellent way to get oils changed, tires rotated...I'll tell my daughters if they will get those done for me they can have the Jeep for a day. Win-Win.
I have had 2 JTRs. First one from July '19 to Sept '20 and the current one from then to now. Total of about 40K miles. I also have a heavily mod'd JK...the JT is the best Jeep ever made and the best one I've ever owned. So yeah, love it.
