Leaving Door Bolts Off?

[Mikegcny]

I don't even know where my bolts are. Hahaha

I once couldn't find my YJ's doors for a few days. My dad was pissed. "how the f*+< can you not know where your goddam doors are?"

I put mine back on with grease in winter. Other than that they are off. If I want to pop the doors off, it's some clips and some tugging, like it should be.

I might agree with your dad! The whole door? Hahahahaha

The whole door?

Both of them.

The backstory is even funnier. It was pouring rain. Truck was in the driveway and at like 6am something shorted and my monster stereo turned on by itself and woke everyone up.

The top was up but I guess enough water got in to cause a short.

I am no longer putting on door hinge bolts or the door plungers. I am also only putting on 4 hard top screws (2 on roll cage, 2 rear near seat belts).

I wish the front door electrical connection was easier to pop off. I need to use a key to pry the lever up.

Not an issue, will probably go back on in the winter but it's not necessary.

Thanks for this thread from 4 years ago. Made my decision not to put the bolts back in easier. I also lost the ones to my YJ and TJ back in the day. Ill store mine in the box under the seat, but doubt they will go back on, less chance of scratching the paint right there.

Mine are in the storage bin under the rear seat.. took them off to remove the doors the first time and never put them back.

Is there any issue with leaving the door bolts off for the whole summer?

On my YJs once I took the nuts off, I lost them forever.

I haven't seen my door bolts in over 4yrs.

THEY CAME WITH DOOR BOLTS!! I bought my JTR used and none came with it and thats fine by me. I know they come with them but just felt like starting my reply like that

if you are worried about yer doors falling out when you are upside down then you have bigger issues to worry about
