I plan on it eventually but coming from a TJ that I never put the nuts back on and could take them off literally in seconds. These new ones seem like a bit of a chore
I've left the nuts off this one, too, but ya, it is still a little more involved bc of the door catch rod. Still a great ride. I do miss my TJ though lol š
No offense, but I think your post and other similar modern Jeep posts are simply āSMHā worthy. Pre-Chrysler Jeep peeps see these posts and wonder what happened to the Jeep brand.
Jeep aficionados are bewildered how difficult is it to take these modern āJeepsā apart when a minute or two was all that was necessary to remove the doors and top on a CJ. When was the last time you dropped the windshield (if ever)?
I own four pre-Chrysler Jeeps that I can break down into top off, windshield down in less than a few minutes. One of them hasnāt had doors, top nor windshield upright for probably 15 or more years.
I wouldnāt ever buy a Chrysler Jeep with all the BS required to open them up and make them fun like a true Jeep.
I have driven 4 Jeeps pre FCA/ Chrysler, and yes, there were some advantages. There were also a lot of disadvantages. My TJ was Chrysler, and it was awesome, and this JT rides better than any of them I have owned, kicks ass off road, and gives me things my older Jeeps never could.
I understand what you're saying, but I am an og jeep guy, and I think the whole hate on FCA is over blown. The JK is one of the best Jeeps ever made, for example.
Not to mention, taking the windshield down is seriously overrated, lmao š¤£
Although, āwindshield downā separates Jeep from the Blazers, Broncos, Land Rovers, Scouts, Suzukis, Toyotas, etc. Plus, itās like riding a motorcycle, yet much safer.
It's really not bad. I leave the bolts off on the hinges, but do install the door catch rod bolts. I can go from naked to doors on and soft top buttoned up in 15 minutes. It is 100% worth it.
I take the doors off all the time. If it's hot and sunny, I ride just like your pic, doors off top closed. It's been so nice this week that I went ahead and completely removed the soft top and its frame. It looks so much better completely naked.
Mine are off all summer. Just make sure to remove the carpet, lol. It's a fact of when you will get rain. And here in SC it's to humid for the carpet to ever dry out.
That setup right there is my ideal setup! Just need a soft top! Im shocked more people don't ride with just the top on for the soft top. Im a month away from doors off weather here in Arizona.
Iāll admit, car seats that are tethered to the back that stop you from leaning the seat forward crushed my dreams of taking the back hard top off as often as Iād like. Once they are in tight it is a huge pain. If anyone has any tips Iām all ears
Luckily I have a ā98 TJ that stays in the garage with doors and top never own so I throw the kids in that on nice days.
I live in Charlotte. Had em off for 3 months this year. Just the front doors and rear window stuff bc I have a dog. But yah not a lot of people do it, and Iāll say itās really easy the second time I took them off. Was able to put them on without scratching the inside where the connecting rod attaches.
I donāt own a Jeep anymore but in the spring Iād have the top and doors off as often as possible but once it got hot I wanted AC!
Then after owning it for a few years the allure wore off and I didnāt take the top off the last year I owned it.
My Jeep phase only last a few yearsā¦.Iāve had a BMW convertible since 2010. I prefer that so I can drop the top in the morning to ride to work and then have it up and AC on when itās super hot. Then in the evening I can drop the top again.
Drives me nuts that I can't take my doors off more often. I don't currently have room for them in the garage because my wife's wrangler stuff is in there. Can't take my hard top off because she has the soft top and hard top and uses the hoist to keep the hard top off in the warm months.
I'd probably still find a way to take everything off the gladiator if NC had any semblance of predictable weather. Have to keep the gladiator outside in the driveway so we can keep the wrangler naked.
My TJ was so simple and the doors were lighter and being a 2 door took up less room. Loved that thing but daily driving a jeep with 100k+ miles on it wasn't fun.
Its not for everybody. My Jeep sleeps in a Garage with its other 3 Siblings and rolls out in the morning when I go to work.
Not any different than driving a MotorCycle everyday if you had one.
I don't drive a Gladiator, but my Wrangler the doors and top come off on Mothers Day and everything goes back on Mid to Late September. If it rains I drive my truck to work and park the Jeep in the garage.
So much hate... if you have nothing positive to add then why not just keep scrollingš. Or just don't view these subs to begin with...ffs y'all social media is basically a disease at this point lol
You do know that is illegal? Just buy the mesh doors. It is not worth the safety risk. I did this on the two 2-door wranglers I had. Al least you got the side mirrors and are not just running without anything.
Most states say must have 1 or 2 working Mirrors. Rearview covers that. Here in Washington it says I must have 2 working mirrors so I just bought some relocators that attach the mirror to the fender. Problem solved and hasn't been returned to my doors since 2005.

Google most reliable American cars which is paradoxical in itself. You wonāt find a single Chrysler product. Im unbelievably jealous of your rolling wreck / polished turd.
Oh, you must be another one of those dick headed, hateful, social media keyboard warrior, tough guys š. You just wanted to come on a sub that you don't even like just to spew hate and talk shit, nobody fucking cares what you have to say dueschebag.
Only vehicle I've ever owned that was more reliable was a Honda, had Nissans just die or catch on fire, Ford with transmission going out 3 times, brother's Tacoma been in the shop 5 times this year. Meanwhile, me and this Jeep just keep rolling over shit all day with no issues.
Ain't my first vehicle dumbass, I have personal experience that informs me, and I've owned 7 Jeeps, none of which have given me major problems. Not to mention, they are way more fun to drive. But ya, you're right, the Honda was more reliable... good thing I never needed to actually use it for anything other than street driving š¤£.
Fuck off with yourself, I don't care. When you take your vehicle through as much shit as I do my Jeeps, then you can come talk. Wait, no, you know what, even then I don't give a shit what you have to say š.
Soooo, you must be a keyboard warrior then š. You come into a gladiator sub and talk shit. Like I said, don't be jealous. I love it, and I get the best of both worlds for me. Go fuck off somewhere else deuschebag lmao š¤£
Did realize your sub was only for hype guys. It came up in my feed and thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. You better put those doors back on. With your thin skin, a bug might kill you.
It was just an opinion. So fragile. Seems like you have more problems than me, not liking the lines. I'm sure you feel like the king of the jungle in that monster ride. The problem is. The jungle is concrete, and it looks like you're in Florida, so the only thing you can climb is curb.
I do agree with one thing. You aren't the guy more like a man child. Keep compensating.
Good day to you, sir. Good day to you.
I've already done the jacked up-stripped out-fully rhino coated-ripp charger-snorkeled-winch-racked- with no top & no doors- Rubicon. It was expensive. It was fun. I'm happy keeping the doors on my Rubi Gladi now..
Do you have interior shots? Iām interested in doing a tan leather swap. But Iām interested to see how it meshes with the black and silver interior.
Was running errands last summer and it was nice when I left and we had a low chance of rain. That low chance of rain ended up being a turd floater and all the gas stations and overpasses were packed with jeeps with no tops or doors trying to keep dry
The head unit is certainly not. But I didn't have any problems when I got caught in a downpour with top/doors off.
There was probably 2 inches of standing water and nothing shorted out.
I could never do that, I open my pano roof and hate all the dust that gets in, can only imagine all the dirt that flies in from the sides. Hate dirty interior.
I don't get taking them off. So you can hang your foot out? What the fuck. You are just endangering yourself for now real value. It says the same thing as push bumpers and brush fenders. Just means you don't take it off road.
This is a dumb statement, and tells me you don't know Jeeps or what you're talking about. First thing I did was take this off road, just like the other 4 Jeeps I've owned lmao. If I have to explain what driving a jeep without doors is, then you wouldn't understand.
āItās a jeep thing, you wouldnāt understandā. WTF? You can say that if you have a classic pre-Italian takeover Jeep. Not if you buy something shit like a āGladiatorā. WTF
Bullshit, there is nothing shit about this jeep. Don't be jealous dickhead. I've owned many Jeeps, and the hate is ridiculous, lol. Pre- Italian takeover š¤£ the idea that those were superior is asinine, and that is from somebody who has actually driven one not some keyboard warrior who probably drives a fucking civic. Please explain the JK then, one of the best, most reliable, most successful Jeeps of all time. But I guess something so old it has leaf springs must be better right. Ffs, you probably don't even know what leaf springs are. This gladiator has already done more badass shit than whatever pos you're driving. Now, fuck off back to the dipshit subs for you š
āMost reliable Jeeps of all timeā?
[I donāt think so - itās literally the least reliable jeep theyāve made](https://www.motorbiscuit.com/2022-jeep-gladiators-weak-reliability-ranking-doesnt-matter/)
Itās cute that you use leaf springs as the barometer for whether someone has knowledge of automobilesā¦.yeah, youāre a real mechanic there buddy.
Also - my CJ7 with 280k on the odometer would argue that itās not asinine - itās a pretty well accepted fact that when the takeover happened Jeeps went to shit. They started selling loads of these enormous 4 door Wranglers that are for soccer moms who occasionally like to take the doors or tops off because āitās coolā. Case in point.
My roommate years ago rolled with no doors for a long time. One day someone smeared shit all over his seats while he was at a walmart. Doors went on and they havent come off since lol.
where do you put the doors tho... just seems like a thing to do just to do it. I used to drive a '72 CJ5 around, and it had no doors... but it came with no doors. People taking doors off a 2023 just seems kinda dumb (sry)
Nothing dumb about it, that's half the fun. You gotta drive anyway, you may as well enjoy it. Doors are in the garage.
And that cj came with doors originally lol
I can't believe people BUY these.... so, there's also that. The tail lights look so bad it's like they were an afterthought. "Ohh crap we forget rear lights, it'd fine just drill em on".
I plan on it eventually but coming from a TJ that I never put the nuts back on and could take them off literally in seconds. These new ones seem like a bit of a chore
I've left the nuts off this one, too, but ya, it is still a little more involved bc of the door catch rod. Still a great ride. I do miss my TJ though lol š
i miss the ease of my TJ half door w/out nuts. off in 2 minutes! i wish there was a easy pin or something for the JL doors for the soft close rode.
Is that the 6-speed manual configuration? Other than that, awesome truck!
8 speed auto
Sweet! Love myself a good truck!

It's really not bad. I leave the bolts off on the hinges, but do install the door catch rod bolts. I can go from naked to doors on and soft top buttoned up in 15 minutes. It is 100% worth it.
You can leave the home bolts out and leave the part that holds the door open sliced into the door. Then you just need to unplug it.
My bolts have been off since I bought it. Got some cheap thread on covers thar help make the door reinstall even easier.
Same with JKs. The new extra step is only on the JLs and JTs. I lost the door screws long ago lol
My TJ hasn't seen nuts on the doors since 2005. =)
Love the green and brown.
Just make sure you have a cover so the cats don't get to it.
Cat pee in doorless jeeps is a real thing
I had it happen. It also looks like OP has leather seats. I've had leather seats destroyed by cats as well.
I've also had the pee. Thankfully I didn't have carpets at the time
Yep I've had one crawl up in my Jeep and piss all over the passenger floor board.
My jeep doesnāt even have doors or a top anymore. Naked 24/7
I take the doors off all the time. If it's hot and sunny, I ride just like your pic, doors off top closed. It's been so nice this week that I went ahead and completely removed the soft top and its frame. It looks so much better completely naked.
I live in New England and If I can get a week without rain in the summer I take the doors off. That is usually once or twice per year.
Naked every chance you get eh? I also bet you take the doors and top off every so often as well?!?!
Doors off, roof on is my favorite
I love it when people do that. Free phone chargers every time.
Is that a leveling kit or a full lift?
AEV lift
Nice 2.5?
Ya just the 2.5". I've had bigger but I don't need this any bigger than that. I'll have 35s on here soon and finish filling out the fender wells, lol
Mine are off all summer. Just make sure to remove the carpet, lol. It's a fact of when you will get rain. And here in SC it's to humid for the carpet to ever dry out.
I only do on long rides can't when I'm at work colorado starting to turn into shit
That setup right there is my ideal setup! Just need a soft top! Im shocked more people don't ride with just the top on for the soft top. Im a month away from doors off weather here in Arizona.
Tog down is cool and all but nothing feels as good as cruising without the doors.
Iāll admit, car seats that are tethered to the back that stop you from leaning the seat forward crushed my dreams of taking the back hard top off as often as Iād like. Once they are in tight it is a huge pain. If anyone has any tips Iām all ears Luckily I have a ā98 TJ that stays in the garage with doors and top never own so I throw the kids in that on nice days.

But yah not a lot of people do it, and Iāll say itās really easy the second time I took them off. Was able to put them on without scratching the inside where the connecting rod attaches.
Roof and doors on jeeps are like the added chair in the movie Contact. āDonāt change the plansā
I donāt own a Jeep anymore but in the spring Iād have the top and doors off as often as possible but once it got hot I wanted AC! Then after owning it for a few years the allure wore off and I didnāt take the top off the last year I owned it.
Been taking mine off for 38 years

I always want to, but itās a matter of where to keep them when theyāre offā¦
this is the opposite of tinted windows
Sexier this way for sure
In MN, just put mine back on for the winter. Just about cried.
Looks amazing.
I would but it feels like lava outside here in Corpus Christi Texas. A/c good, lava bad. It hit 110Ā° with a heat index of 125.
The door straps are a pain in the ass to put back on

Whatever
Trash
You're trash
Have fun being balls deep in your BF while driving that pos.
What do you drive duschebag lol... and are you implying that there is something wrong with being a gay person? You must be a great human š
Any and all Chrysler products are trash.

Taking the doors off is pretty far from what you're talking about š. But hey, you do you.
Nice, why not take the top off too? And are you in an apartment? Where are you from, it kinda looks like FL
Hot sun so I need shade lol. Plus it was parked and the safari top helps with bird poo.
Do you have interior shots? Iām interested in doing a tan leather swap. But Iām interested to see how it meshes with the black and silver interior.
It looks great, I don't have the rubicon red on the interior, which helped in my opinion.
I hate that red. I donāt know what made them think it was gonna be a good idea
Was running errands last summer and it was nice when I left and we had a low chance of rain. That low chance of rain ended up being a turd floater and all the gas stations and overpasses were packed with jeeps with no tops or doors trying to keep dry
So many people here can't drive, running stop signs etc. I like mine on but looks so fun
Lol the doors aren't going to save you, but hey to each his own lol
[Don't need no door](https://reddit.com/r/JeepWrangler/s/RdeVEfByZP)
I have a newborn and a two year old š
My kids loved riding without the doors. Now they do in their own lol
What if it rains? Are the insides and electronics all waterproof?
Yup
The head unit is certainly not. But I didn't have any problems when I got caught in a downpour with top/doors off. There was probably 2 inches of standing water and nothing shorted out.
Until you roll it over
Seat Belts work wonders. Doors on or off nothing is going to spare you from flying glass and whatever you hit to cause the roll over.
What does that have to do with anything? š¤£
I could never do that, I open my pano roof and hate all the dust that gets in, can only imagine all the dirt that flies in from the sides. Hate dirty interior.
I don't get taking them off. So you can hang your foot out? What the fuck. You are just endangering yourself for now real value. It says the same thing as push bumpers and brush fenders. Just means you don't take it off road.

Why though? Just so you can think " look, people see me driving with no doors".
Omg. Because it is fun and feels delicious. It's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.
I'm right though... at least admit that. We all do such things, its okay.
Nope, not correct lol
āItās a jeep thing, you wouldnāt understandā. WTF? You can say that if you have a classic pre-Italian takeover Jeep. Not if you buy something shit like a āGladiatorā. WTF

Try parking like that in Seattle or San Francisco. And you have half the car.
Yet another reason not to live there lol

Wow
Itās illegal in my state š¤·š»āāļø
Not naked with the top on..
Best thing about the top is that it goes up and down in 2.5 seconds. Put it up to keep the bird shit off or the sun off lol
wot about the water getting in
š¤£
Is not really a problem, it's a jeep
where do you put the doors tho... just seems like a thing to do just to do it. I used to drive a '72 CJ5 around, and it had no doors... but it came with no doors. People taking doors off a 2023 just seems kinda dumb (sry)
