Awesome pictures! Especially the comparison shots with the old Willys!
I personally feel that if it's your jeep, it's yours to do as you please. If you want to blow it up for a stunt in a movie, that's fine, you paid for it. If you want to baby it and never take it off road, it's your money, do with it as you please. Why is there all this hating from one side to another? We all have different tastes and likes and that's fine! It would be pretty boring if everyone treated their jeep the same way and everyone's jeep looked the same.
I personally don't see the function of having the windshield down other than better visibility when rock crawling but even then your hood is still in the way. I might do it someday just to do it but it might be awhile. I find it troublesome enough to take the hard top off yet overall it's not really that difficult. And I love having it off. I like how free it is with it off. I'd like to get the doors off someday as well. Wish I could get some half doors but they're so expensive! High rock makes some nice tubed ones that could suffice.
Anyway, Jeeps were designed and intended for enjoying the great outdoors and being the most capable offroad vehicle there is stock. And it is just that!
So stop hating each other and get out there and enjoy your Jeeps the best way you see fit!

It's awesome how easy they've made it to take them off. Only thing I worry about is the mirrors. I would like to have a relocation kit before driving too much without the doors on.

Of course I might get busted tomorrow, but all you have to do is put the doors on when you go to the court and show that you have "fixed it," the court will dismiss the ticket. Yes that is time out of your life, but that is only if a cop wants to be a stickler about it.

OK!!! You guys have got me foaming at the mouth to take my doors off! LOL! I think I'll go outside right now and do it! LOL! Seriously, though I believe you guys. The first time I ever rode in a Jeep was in 1998 in a friend of mine's CJ-7 and I really never thought anything about jeeps before that. One day we went for a ride in his CJ on a beautiful Kentucky day (going to college there at the time) with nothing more than the bikini top on it and I remember it was the COOOLEST thing seeing the road go by fast right by your feet and the wind blowing in your face! I was thinking to myself, "This is awesome! I totally get this 'Jeep thing' and know why they are so popular." Little did I know that it was only half of the Jeep thing because since owning mine I have become obsessed with modifying it and wanting to do nothing more than hit the trails with other Jeeps!

Well got to admit this post made up my mind to go windshieldless. Windshield SUCKED to get down, but a few mods and can be done in a few mins ;D Well over all I LOVE it. The looks, The wind in my face, the comments ect. Pulled into a D&D and 3 cops approached, and looked it over, then complimented how nice it looked, and how I'm really using it for its built purpose ;D.

Very nice, think I might as well try this also, considering how nice it is outside. This thread is one of my favorites.

Sorry if this is a litttle off topic, but I just ran across this 1947 Jeep CJ2a forsale on Craigslist in Prescott AZ. prescott.craigslist.org/cto/805357382.html
If I had the $$$ I would consider picking this one up. I have not seen it in person, and I do not know who is selling it, but after reading about all the great comments about the one on this thread, I thought I would share.
