Default How many times have you taken doors off in one day?

I want to take my doors off so bad but the weather has been terrible rain almost every day. Mabey I'll just take the doors off even though I know I'll have to put them on again i'n a few hours.

That's one of the times that I'll take them off and leave the torx nuts on the shelf if I have to put the doors back on.

(I usually put them back on if I know the door will be on for at least a few days...)

If you leave your torx nuts out and put some grease the hinge pins the can come out within 2 minutes. Chance of t-storms today so I had throw mine back on 10 minutes ago.

I'm lazy and only take my doors off if it's going to be nice for a few days. If I had a garage to store them it would probably be a different story but as it is I have to walk them inside and make a few trips to the basement which is kind of a pain.

My girlfriend hates when the doors are off so twice in one day is the most for me. Took them off early in the morning, then back on to take her to work, then back off when I was back home. lol

Now I just make her live with it since I warned her once summer comes around they would be off 24/7!

Doors on mine go off May1st dont go back on until Oct 1st. All you need is an "ohh shit top" to proctect you when parked. Other than that rain is rain... It dries.

So far, It's twice today, I drove to the gym with them off, put them back on so I could drive to get mirrors since I found it hard to drive without the sides, and I just took them off, and I'll probably throw them on before it gets dark since it's supposed to rain pretty bad tonight. I find it easier to take the doors off then taking the freedom top panels off and putting them into that damn MOPAR bag in the back. I'm probably gonna leave the torx bolts out for a while.

Jeep and other brands sell half doors with uppers that remove so easy. They are great, but expensive

I only pull mine off if I can get at least 2 good days.
