that would be kewl. only problem you might run into would be if you had electric windows and locks . you would have to install some quick release for the wires going to those and also for your speakers. but it could be done.


good luck
later

i have herd of it being done to broncos(yeah duh) and plan to convert mine soon. what i plan to do is get some general wire plugs from like radio shack and some long grade 5 bolts to replace the solid pins that hold the door. my friend did it to his truck............its awsome.... my turn!

The Electric windows / Powerlocks have a quick disconnect located in the kick panels to the left and right of the cab down by the footspace. All you would have to do is make quick connects for the speakers

here's a thought. Although you will not be able to use them with the door open you can get spring loaded connectors (*** truck) or any mini-van sliding door and put them in the jamb or on the edge.
you probabley just need a 12V pos. the doorlocks and windows can work on the same lead. althogh if you run door speakers you'll need atleast a 3 connector.

hey does anyone know if this is illigal?

The connectors are called "Jamb Tac" in the Jeg's catalog. They have 2, 3 and 4 wire connectors, with the 4 being $24.99.

As far as legality, I'm pretty positive that here in Florida, it is illegal to drive any vehicle without doors. Unless it comes factory like that, such as a dune buggy or sand rail. Even though Jeep doors are removable, they have to be installed to be street legal.

I did this on my fullsize f-250 and you can't beat the visibility. I love it. I have driven through town and cops have seen me and I have yet to get harrased.

I went to advance auto and bought a door/hinge repair kit with the brass bushings and I ground down the splines at the top to keep the pin from being stubborn. I am about to weld a metal rod on the top or something of the sort to act as a handle.

I just pull the 2 pins, throw my door(s) in the bed and go. I relocated my door speakers to the supercab part and I have manual windows/locks so I am good to go.

There is no law mandating doors on a vehicle. Otherwise, Jeep owners nationwide would be locked up. .........Hey that gives me an idea....hehehehe!

Just check on the placement of your sideview mirrors....I beleive there is a law that states you have to have at least a left side mirror.

AWESOME!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE PICTURES!

im trying to do the same thing with the doors. my bronco is a hunker. paid 800 for it. just a little summer fun and winter beater. i havnt figuerd out what im ganna do on the door hinges , but i do have an idea. as for the windows and spekers, the doors are off a f150 and have manual windows with the original inside shell. and the speakers were blown so im ganna wire some 6x9s in the roof since its hollow. id love to know more about the hinges if anyones got anything on it

I made a set by removing the solid pin in the ford hinges . I then bought new door pins for a early 90's chevy truck , I drilled the ford hinge pin holes to fit the bushings that come withe chevy pins . I also drilled a hole though the bottom of the chevy pins for a cotter pin to prevent the pins from coming out. I didn't have any wiring going though the door .so can't help there . removing the doors were easy as pulling the cotter pins and popping the pins out !

im doing somewhat the same as ak said above. but i went the cheaper way. for u who are familiar with tool and die, i grabed some case hardend core pins for a die block. im just ganna trhow thos threw, the new pins are about .010 smaller then the stock ones. wont rattle to bad but will make it easyer to pull the pins

I had thought of this for quite a while.
(I don't even have a Bronco anymore, but had even thought it would be cool with an Expedition set of for the sand dunes)
I had seen a 92-96 Bronco a while ago on Ebay where the seller had picked up junk doors and cut them way down like 1/2 doors.

I thought about welding up some simple gate doors out of rollcage style tubing.

i got mine done.. i took the doors off and grinded the tops of the stock pins and pounded them out.. they are about.350 in diam.. my dad works for a tool and die shop so i had him grab some core pins that are .340 in diam. their smaller so they slide out easy, but not to small so the doors dont sag to much. i can take them off by my self no problem. getting them back on someone has to hold the door up until u can drop one pin in.

then i bought some replacement mirrors for a 80's modle cj jeep on ebay for 10 bucks. took the simple brackets off and droped a bolt through the mirror arm. i just slide the bolt throught the pinhole on the body brakets and tighten them down.. i took it for a test run and then brought it back and timed how long it took to take the mirrors off and put the doors back on.. little over ten minnutes.

i made some boxes and put some 6x9s on the cealing. not nessisary if u dont want to drill hold in wour roof. but i liked the idea. il post pics sometime soon
