    Sal, how long were you without oxygen?? LOL.... Some netting would be a good idea
    to keep things from entering or exiting the XK. Neil commented on strength provided
    by the doors. So Iwonder, will the unibody twist? Will the doors line up again when
    you try to put them back on?

    Like I said with two tires off the ground I've opened all the doors and rear lid and nothing happened at all they all closed perfectly. IMO the unibody will hold with no problem.

    It's cool bro I figured were getting old you may have missed it. I put a driver side mirror on. I didn't like not having a mirror and it complies with the law now. As usual put on with what ever I had laying around the garage.

    Check this out... about 1 minute in:

    The designers probably took a note from one of the issues with the XJ where people had issues with doors lining back up after twisting offroad and such. Wasn't enough to see... just enough to cause an issue with door seals and whatnot.

    I only made one trip with it in its current configuration I'm going to start listing the pros and cons for myself. A couple of cons I came up with right a way. I lost four speakers and just have the front dash ones that kinda stinks. Weather is another one the rain not that big of a deal but the AC really don't work to well LOL

    CON:
    Lots of dust/dirt will make its way into the vehicle when offroad. Be prepared for doubling extensive wash time... (lol and this would NOT be a good idea of trail in NJ where its impossible to go anywhere without a few mud/water holes.)

    That is great, you should get some simple tube doors modified or made, you might have started a new trend.

    I have dust everywhere inside the jeep Uwharrie is a dust bowl I never can keep it out anyway. I'm sure, wait I'm positive this is not for everybody LOL I don't treat my XK like 99% of the people I realize this. I don't worry about resale either because even if I buy another jeep this one will probably stay with us for a long time. To date except for the bumper mod I haven't done anything I can't reverse I think.
