How to Take the Doors off a Jeep Wrangler

2021 Jeep Wrangler with No Doors

 

A new or used Jeep Wrangler is ideal for a driver looking for an adventure around Zapata. The Wrangler is one of the more inventive vehicles whose features include removable and added parts to enhance your overall driving experience. Thankfully, learning how to take the doors off a Jeep is simple! Get all the details about how to take apart a Jeep with this guide from Laredo Dodge Chrysler Jeep.

How To Take the Doors Off Your Jeep Wrangler

Taking the doors off your Jeep Wrangler requires you to first fold down the side mirrors and then roll down the windows (if your model has windows) to protect the glass. Then, take the following steps:

  • Remove the hinge pin screws from the upper and lower outside hinges using a #T50 Torx head driver.
  • Remove the plastic wiring access door under the instrument panel by sliding the plastic panel along the door frame toward the seats.
  • Pull up on the red locking tab to unlock the wiring harness.
  • Push and hold down the black security tab under the wiring harness and lift the harness lever into the open position.
  • With the wiring harness open, pull straight downward on the wiring connector to unplug.
  • With the door in the open position, remove the check screw from the door check attachment on the bodyside using a #T40 Torx head driver.
  • With the door open, lift the door with the help of another person to clear the hinge pins from their hinges.

From there, you’ll be able to enjoy a doorless ride around Cotulla. For those with four-door Jeep Wrangler models, slide the front seats fully forward before following the same steps.

Why Would I Take Apart My Jeep?

A Jeep Wrangler’s doors are removable for numerous reasons. If you’re driving around Hebbronville or following the unbeaten path, keeping your doors off allows you to take in a fully immersive driving experience like no other. Outdoor enthusiasts rave about Jeep’s removable panels because they can feel the elements while enjoying their drive.

Another reason to take off the doors on your Jeep is that it helps with the overall fuel consumption or weight of the vehicle itself. If you’re trekking down trails on an excursion, removing the doors assists with fuel economy and the overall trail experience.

How to Take a Top Off a Jeep

Of course, you’re probably also wondering how to take the top off your Jeep! This will give you a truly thrilling experience in your Wrangler, allowing you to feel one with the outdoors. However, most Jeep experts will tell you that, tempting as it may be to try it on your own, you’re better off entrusting a certified Jeep service department to remove the top of your Jeep. When you attempt to remove it on your own, you risk permanently damaging the top because it’s more difficult and awkward to maneuver than the doors.
