Woo eee, you don't want much do you? LOL!
I think the only way is to unbolt them at the door side with a couple guys holding the door and a brace under it while you do it. I 'think' the body side of the hinges is welded on, but could be off or your 99 could be different.
No matter which side you unbolt, I would 'highly' recommend you drill a
1/8" hole through the hinge and door frame before loosening the bolts. That way when you try to get them back on you have a hope of maybe lining the door up again by putting a 1/8" drill bit through the holes.I don't believe the door pins can be taken out easily at all, but could be wrong.
There are drain holes in the floor under the carpet. I would open those too so when it rains on it, it can drain out. I would have the carpet or at least the underlay out also.

You might check with your local laws, I don't remember anyone doing it to a car since my Dad took the doors off a 1936 Ford Phaeton and called it a Dust Buggy, that was back in the early fifties.

I wonder what that would do to the vehicles structural integrity, unlike a Wrangle the Cherokee was never intended to be driven without doors.
