Lightbulb Removing Doors?

Has anyone successfully removed the doors and driven without them? A lot of my buddies with Jeeps pull them off when we go offloading. Just want to know if its easy and can it be done?

Not that easy if you have power windows, door locks and/ or mirrors.

I did it with my wagon. I would strongly recommend against it. It is a HUGE pain in the butt. The area you have to work in is extremely tight and there is hardly any extra wire to play with. I did make the mistake of not really having a plan on how to wire them so that I can make a quick disconnect. If you do do it, look at schematics first. It took me a couple days to get everything back together and I still have electrical issues from it. I was able to stuff the wires back in the sleeve that runs from the cabin to the door, but its uncomfortably tight. I am in Afghanistan right now. When I return to the states in September, I am planning on taking everything back apart and redoing my connectors into a single quick disconnect per door. I did use shrink tube though. At least I know things are as water tight as they can be. But its still not as resilient as the factory wiring. If I ever get another hardshell, I will NOT do this. Here's some pics of mine. I don't have those gaudy wheels and tires anymore. They were on it when I bought the truck. The picture with the steel wheels and Boggers are whats on it now.
