TJ Door frames - stupid newbie question

nothing wrong with leaving them on but it only takes 1 minute to put them both on???

It's your Jeep. You can do anything you want with it.

(But don't tow a big boat, convert it to diesel, try to jump five feet in the air, or run anything but R134a in the AC.)

That depends on how well I've strapped them down... :-)

With the rains we've had lately (signs posted that say "Road under water") and our inexperience with getting the top up fast, it is one less step. Once we've got more used to it, it probably won't be a big deal.

thanks,

Yeah, I just didn't want to have the top start leaking or something, and have somebody say, "Ya MOE-ron! Ya drove it with the top down and the the frames on, didn'cha?!!" :-)

Garg

Hell, Earle, that's killed the conversation :-)

I bought my TJ used and didn't see a video. I've only taken the surrounds off once. Really didn't see the point. That, and my CB mount it now bolted through the front hole in the surrounds where one of the screws went through. So I'd have to wrench it on and off every time...

I take mine off each time just because at least to me, they look pretty lame when the top is off. I just think the Jeep looks better without the door surrounds when the top is off. :)

I usually leave them on so I can get the top up faster unless I am using the bikini top, in which case they need to be removed by design. Also if I take them off and I need to put up the top I need to have them with me, and I don't really have enough room for my stuff anyway.... Sometimes I even leave them on with the doors off, but usually I run with the bikini top on with the doors off, unless I take the doors off really fast and need to get going with just putting on the mirror.

I have full doors, so you can't really tell they're even there. I think it looks a bit better when the doors are off to remove the surrounds... just haven't been doing that much around here with the 100+ degree temps every day...
