With the top removed and tucked away in the garage, the next step was to take off the doors. Despite owning this vehicle for 16.5 years, they’ve never before been taken off. Years earlier I ran my old YJ with the hinge bolts off all the time, so removing and replacing doors just took a minute in those days. It was certainly time to take the plunge with the Prodigal TJ before the weather turns too cold.
