Below, you can learn more about how to take the doors off your Jeep Wrangler:

How to Remove the Doors on a Jeep

First, you’ll want to fold down the side mirrors, then roll the windows down to keep the glass from breaking. Then, you’ll want to take the following steps:

• Detach any power cables by taking off the footwell under the dash or next to the b-pillar.
• Gently lift the door straps off the hook to remove them.
• Remove the bolt from the door hinges, then slide the door off and away from the frame.
• Repeat the steps above with the rest of the doors.
• To disable the door alarm, detach the negative lead from the battery and set it aside and away from the terminal.
• Next, you’ll want to remove the fuse box cover and look at the fuse diagram on the bottom. Find the Door Jam Defeat fuse and take it out with a pair of small pliers.
• Lastly, reattach the negative lead to the battery.

Afterward, you can hit the trails without the hindrance of doors. Once you take them off, though, make sure you keep them in a dry place. You may want to also lube the door hinges, so you’ll have an easier time taking them off next time.
