I'd leave the doors on if driving on the street, personally. Last thing you want is to be crusing around with your foot on the fender because jeep things and get in a roll over accident.
If you’re driving fast enough that a roll over is possible I’d like to think that most of us here would have the common sense to not have appendages hanging outside the body..
That was a 40 mph test

Obviously there are other dangerous activities that are done daily... just increases the risk here, so :tits: isn’t exactly :wrong: to point that out

The issue is keeping appendages inside the body in the event of a collision...

Still, I love driving without doors on.
Right. But people out there hang the foot out while driving. Yesterday the dude driving behind me in his X1, passenger lady had her foot out the window on top of the side mirror. Like you get in an accident that foot is a goner and you’re a peg leg for the rest of your life.

Yeah I see chicks doing that or having their feet up on the dashboard all the time. :derp: even inside the car on the dashboard you’re gonna get that shit snapped off if there’s an accident and the airbag deploys.

Always nice to see how sturdy jeeps are, plastic roofs and all. I have not seen one that had the occupant cell collapse.

I would like a 2 door version w/ a slightly larger bed personally, but that’s my only complaint

Riots were 20 miles from there. HD is perfectly normal. No lines, full stock of everything, the only difference is everyone wears masks, which I'm fine with and go along with.

It's so ridiculous, I love it.

I've debated getting a 2 door Wrangler and a cheap pickup, but why? This does all that. So awesome.

Nobody would buy a NEW 2 door pickup, so that's the challenge there. Believe me, I've tried making the business case.

Yea in stock situation is fine, but the 15mile away Home Depot’s they got hit started flowing over into mine. There are 5 within a 15 mile radius here, and 2 got looted. Caused the other 3 to start having some issues ...

I'm not aware of any in the city being looted. I don't think there was a ton of looting outside of downtown directly. And there's no HDs in the downtown.

Oh. Yeah. I completely understand why it’s not available.

It is absolutely ridiculous. Probably why I like it so much.

My bet is I end up with a Gladiator for a daily at some point (when I don’t drive so far) and she has a 2 door Wrangler.

A big part of why I love my truck is it makes me feel like I'm 5 years old again. A Jeep with all the shit coming off and a bed on the back and a bright ass color is totally something I would have built with my erector set.

I can admit it looks funny (though the Rubicon looks best with big tires), but it's just too much fun for me to care. I really don't want to let this thing go.
