Yes I know the title is strange but all will come clear.
I have been offered 4 very good doors that are complete and in the correct color [ mine have paint peel ]
The idea is to remove the front passenger seat and get them home in the car, it`s that or the boot and tie things etc.
Does anyone know if they will fit?
Thanks John.

 

My schoolboy geometry would tell me yes, as the diagonal dimension of the door aperture must be greater than the doors longest side, but the seat cushion could interfere. with the seat removed, the prospects would improve a lot. Good luck!

 

I vote no.

If you were able to swing the door all the way open, perhaps you would. The doors don’t open 90 degrees, which would be the minimum amount for you to have a chance. Between the door cards and the seats, I don’t think it will fit easily.

Physically they would fit, I just don’t think the car will allow you enough flexibility to get it in.

Please keep us informed!

 

Won't they fit in the trunk? Even if you have to tie the deck lid down. Wrap them up in blankets.

 

If you remove rear and passenger seat you might już have enough space to fit them in, otherwise definitely not.

 

Remove your four paint-peeling doors at home.
Take careful notes/photos including what tools are necessary.
Load those tools in the boot - surely you have room for them.
Drive to location of replacement doors and fit 'em up.
Execute a precise and careful tool-control regimen to make sure they all wind up back in your boot.
Bob's yer uncle!

 

You may get away with that in Texas but not in the UK. The resulting court appearance would probably cost more than the doors.

All across the U.S., there is a multitude of Jeeps being driven around with their doors removed, so I love aholbro1's idea.

John, I say you should go for it! If you're stopped by an officer of the law, you can just say you're converting it into a Wrangler.

Cheers,

Don

 

Thanks all.
I think the boot / trunk idea is the best, but I love the doors off idea.
You can imagine the police chase starting in Essex and ending in Cambridgeshire via the M11.
The paperwork would take a week to write up.
I have placed the bid so we just need to wait.
Will keep you posted.

So long as you are not driving your door-less vehicle in to open up your hair-salon, I think you're good!
Well, If I'd be honest, I think that is only a problem in Dallas and Austin, two miserable fascist strongholds in the otherwise liberated great state of Texas!
(I try to stay West of SR 360 so as not to risk being thrown into one of their re-education camps)

As Don rightly observes above, it is perfectly legal across the entire US of A to go topless, and even door-less in a Jeep. It actually facilitates the law-enforcers' task of determining the occupants' compliance with seat-belt laws. Although I can't speak authoritatively on the matter, having stopped following the Jeep lineup ardently when the marque was obtained by Chrysler, when I bought my 1979 Jeep CJ-7, doors were not standard, however, if you opted for the optional top, you got doors with that; Relatively heavy steel ones with the fiberglass hardtop, and canvas-covered steel rod-frame ones with the soft top. Either would lift off their two hinges easily when opened.

Best of luck in landing your replacement doors!

 

Thank you Don,
I can imagine the conversation with the police.
" Officer i`m in the process of a wrangler conversion,"
" No mate, you`re in the process of being placed under arrest.
The other problem would be trying to explain it to the wife.
That would be difficult.

too much room for mistakes as paint scratch and dents. 4 doors,get a truck

 

Thank you steven 300,
I agree there is a risk of damage but sadly a truck is not an option.
Two trips the trunk and a steady drive are my best bet.
John.
