This is where a libertarian philosophy would help keep it real. Government should have no interest in whether we have our doors on or off! How is having your doors off hurting someone else, unless you have children or minors in the vehicle with you? This nanny-statism, rampant on the east and west coasts, drives me crazy.

As a Jeep and motorcycle owner and driver I read with interest the comparisions and see points for both, but who ever said the law was fair? It is not and never will be IMHO - I have law enforcement on both sides of the family and they would not give a ticket for a doorless Jeep 
,but if I read the posts correctly PA has a no helmet law and wants you to keep ya doors on 
thats an oxy moron if I ever head of one!
Here in North Carolina I see pick-up trucks, Cherokee's and Wrangler's without doors and not know of anyone ever getting a ticket - it must be a redneck thing?

thats really stupid cuz i am in michigan, and i have never been puled over for having my doors off or anything like that but i have been pulled over twice, one for having my foot on the edge of the crack and resting out side the car just a little bit and then he also sighted me for not having shoes on while i was driving, i had saddles and i took them off cuz its hard to shift, and that was it, i didnt even have any out side mirrors, so i was wondering could he have given me a ticket for that???

Been pulled over in Texas by DPS and local police never an issue for no doors. The only problem I have has is with local cops not being able to see my inspection sticker behind my windshield light so I moved the sticker up slightly. Told him if he was close enough to see my sticker he was ALSO close enough to read and run my plates which would give him all the information he needed.

Knock on wood, I'm in the Lehigh Valley, PA and have run doorless quite a bit without mirrors and have passed cops without incident. I do need to figure out what I want to do for mirrors eventually.
Then again, one cop in town has a really nice TJ!
