Jeeps have been around since before WWII, and they’ve been modifiable since the very beginning. Because of their unique nature, Jeeps sit in a class all of their own: a coupe, a convertible, and a capable off-roader, all in one iconic package. They are exceptional off-road vehicles even without modifications, but there are certain自定义that can benefit the off-road driver, such as removing the top and the doors.
Some people wonder why removing the doors is so popular, and many Jeep owners argue its benefits. Some purists agree that one of the best driving experiences one can have is that without climate control or a radio. Who needs that when you can hear the hum of the engine with the wind in your hair?
完成这种基本体验的最佳方法不仅仅是滚下窗户：脱下门。权衡实际利益，每个利益doorweighs about 50 pounds, so trimming off that excess weight can help you on the trail, and it also improves燃油经济性。It also aids visibility, letting you more easily plot your path over challenging terrain.
As with any vehicle modification, safety should be top priority. Jeep advises that you only take off the doors for off-road recreational purposes. You should leave your doors on if you use your Jeep for simple daily driving. In any case, on the trail or in the city, it should go without saying that you always wear aseat belt。Follow the simple steps below to learn how to take the doors off your Jeep, refit the side mirrors onto the body, and turn off the dome light and buzzer.
Part 1 of 3: Removing the doors
Materials Needed
- 13mm socket (depending on your Jeep model)
- 金属润滑剂，例如WD-40（可选）
- 棘轮
- Torx T-50 bit (depending on your Jeep model)
- Door clips (suited to your Jeep model)
步骤1：打开要卸下的门并检查它们。定位门vorm和将门固定在框架上的铰链连接器。
You will also want to determine if there are any electronic connections for door locks or windows. If there are, make sure you roll down the windows before you disconnect the wiring. This will minimize the risk of breaking the windows while taking them off and storing them.
Step 2: Disconnect the power cables。通过将标签移动到线束上以使其脱离接触来做到这一点。
With minimal pressure, press the black tab to disconnect the wiring.
提示：如果您的吉普车是四门，则电子接线将位于框架的B柱中。
Warning: To prevent damage, do not pull excessively on the wiring harness.
Step 3: Loosen the lock nuts。这些位于每个门铰链的底部。
Do this with the Torx T-50 bit and ratchet or 13mm socket, depending on the model. It’s important not to take them off one at a time because pressure can build on the final bolt, which can cause the threads to become stripped. Instead, loosen each bolt bit by bit, alternating one after the other, until they can be removed easily.
步骤4：卸下门皮带。跟随它们到仪表板下的连接器。
轻轻将它们从钩子上抬起。
- Warning：门带防止门打开太远并撞到身体。这些皮带闭合后，移动门时要非常小心以防止损坏。
Step 5: Remove each bolt going from bottom to top。Once the top bolt is removed the door is ready to come off the frame.
步骤6：卸下门。使用向上的力，小心地将门进出，直到没有连接的铰链。
Repeat this process until all doors are off.
提示：由于门很重，因此您可能希望有人在拆除期间帮助保持门稳定以防止损坏。如果门很难脱落，请使用金属润滑剂，然后重试。
Step 7: Replace the Torx head bolts back in the doors。This will lessen the chance of misplacing them, and they’re ready for you when you want to put the doors back on.
Step 8: Store the doors。将门存放在安全的位置和位置，以免在存储中损坏。
Part 2 of 3: Removing the side mirrors and refitting them onto the vehicle
Materials Needed
- 17毫米插座
- Mirror-removal kit
- Torx T-40 bit
Step 1: Loosen heads。Use the Torx T-40 bit to loosen the two heads below the windshield, near where theside mirrors were前。
Step 2: Tighten the mirror plates to brackets。Take the mirror plates from the kit and place them over the loosened heads and tighten them to the mirror brackets.
步骤3：删除镜子。Remove the mirrors from the doors with a 17mm socket.
Put the nuts in a container to avoid misplacing them, and set them aside.
步骤4：将镜子适合括号。Attach the mirrors to the black sleeves from the kit and fit them into the brackets.
步骤5：拧紧螺母。As you put the washers from the kit on the bottom of the bolt, thread the mirror nuts onto the connections and tighten them.
Tighten them just enough so they can still be adjusted, but don’t move on their own.
第3部分：关闭圆顶灯和蜂鸣器
When you remove the doors, the dome light and buzzer will stay on, and it’s important to turn this off one way or another so you don’t kill your电池。有两种不同的方法可以做到这一点。遵循最适合您需求的方法。
方法1：拔出保险丝。在电子制动踏板附近，找到标有“门果酱失败”的保险丝，然后将其拉出以关闭灯光和蜂鸣器。
- 提示：确保将保险丝存储在安全的地方，以避免放错位置。
方法2：安装门夹。购买并安装弹簧载的门夹，这些门夹将其固定在门内部的圆顶灯传感器销。
这将阻止需要拆卸保险丝。
脱下吉普车的门是在冒险和越野吉普车时从骑车中获得更多骑行的绝佳方法。这是一种在您的汽车上获得极好体验和一些额外乐趣的简便方法。确保有定期维护在您的吉普车上，以保持速度和最高性能。
