When folks ask why such an 'impractical' vehicle I tell them it's safer than a motorcycle and more useful than a boat.
And a motorcycle the whole family can ride! So much fun rolling up to school like that today.

Yep, don't get the impractical arguments on the gladiator. With the towing capacity your safe motorcycle transforms into a super useful truck. Thats how I justified it myself. A toy with a purpose.

Whats funny is some put tube doors on as tho that does anything other than add an object to go thru your rib cage.

I've used the motorcycle analogy many times too. Its fair and accurate. Its a Jeep...they're basically like motos with 4 wheels.
Motorcycle Analogy works well. My favorite though is my buddies that ride bikes confused that I put the windshield down time to time. Im like isn't that what your bike is? They respond like somehow in a truck Im going to be hit with more road debrees than they would.

I put tube doors on for the piece of mind when I take the kids out. I know it’s not going to help much in a crash, But when making right left Maneuvers at least I know they aren’t going to slide out.
Makes perfect sense there.

Many thanks for the heads up! I've been checking every Monday and Thursday for weeks. Guess it's a Tuesday acting like a Monday.

Apparently none of you that feel “insecure” with the doors off ride motorcycles? Haha!! Even with the doors off, I’m wrapped with 5000 pounds of steel around me. I feel plenty safe with no doors, but everyone is different. When it’s my time to go, it’s my time to go.
You're so right, would you mind talking to my wife? She's ridden hundreds of miles on the back of my bike, but refuses to ride in the JT without doors. So, I'm ordering tube doors to make her feel "safe".

I take my doors off. Delrin hinge liners makes it smoother too. I dig my Jpeggz mirrors too.
