Well, I did it. For better or worse. It feels about 500 lbs lighter and is fun as hell. Once I figured it out, the second one came off in about 5 minutes. I wonder if it is legal?????

I tell ya...you crazy Californians.
Now it'd also be cool to come up with some sort of tube door(s) to complete the look.

Don't know about Cal laws but perfectly legal in Az. Lots of doorless jeeps in Cal so I would think it is somewhat legal.

I dunno if I would have taken the rear door off, but I was planning to try taking my side doors off to try it out. Plus I gotta fix my drivers door anyway 'cause its tweaked pretty badly.

takes 5 minutes. The electrical are all in 2 plugs down by yout feet behind the interior pannel, then just the pin and 4 bolts. You don't even have to take off the door pannel. It goes back on just as easy.

Sorry dude !
Dunno want to be harsh but the VX is not a jeep.
Anyways have fun out there !
Dakar was just the begining.

I have always wanted to try this.

I think this had something to do with Carmageddon.

bending the frame. The doors are an intergral piece of the cars structural integrity. I would worry about the frame bending and roof warping to the point the doors arent going to go back on

Or just get a jeep

I really don't think that the doors do anything structurally for us. The VX is a "body on frame" truck, so like a Jeep everything should stay lined up just fine.

Ditto on putting the rear door back on, and on needing to add half or tube doors that incorporate the cladding. Seems the easiest thing would be to cut the existing doors - can't imagine you're afraid to do that if you've already sprayed the body.

What is a Jeep?
