The experience of driving your Jeep with its doors off - a fond memory of every Jeep owner. If you have done it before, you know that there's nothing quite like it, especially during the summer. Whether you're gearing up for some off-roading adventures or just craving that wind-in-your-hair sensation, knowing how to remove your Jeep's doors is necessary for every proud owner.

Before we start, make sure to check your owner's manual to see if the doors of your specific model and trim can be removed - if they can, continue with the steps below.

Needed Tools:

• Set of socket wrenches
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Door removal tool (or a flat-head screwdriver)
• A friend (optional but recommended for safety)

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Find a flat, even surface to park your Jeep. Ensure your parking brake is engaged and the transmission is in 'Park' (for automatic) or 'Neutral' (for manual).

Step 2: Disconnect the Wiring Harness

Inside your Jeep's door frame, locate the wiring harness connector. Use the door removal tool or a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the red tab upwards. Then, press the black tab to release the connector. Do this for both the electrical connectors.

Pro Tip: Roll down the windows inside the doors so they don't get damaged!

Step 3: Remove the Bolts

Use your socket wrench to remove the bolts securing the door hinges to the Jeep's body. There are typically two bolts for each hinge. Make sure to keep these bolts in a safe place, as you'll need them when you decide to put the doors back on.

Step 4: Lift and Remove the Door

With the bolts removed, you can now lift the door off its hinges. It's a good idea to have a friend assist you, as doors can be heavier than they seem.

Step 5: Secure the Mirrors (Optional)

If you have side mirrors attached to your doors, secure them to the Jeep's body using the appropriate tools or brackets.

A Few Safety Tips:

• Removing doors affects the vehicle's stability, so be cautious when driving at high speeds.
• Some states may have specific regulations about driving without doors, so check your local laws.
• Don't forget to reconnect the wiring harness when you put the doors back on.

Congrats! Now you can drive your Jeep with an extra amount of cool points. With that said and done, whenever your trusty Rubicon or Grand Cherokee needs a few maintenance procedures or even repairs, just call us at Gerry's Service, and we will help!
