Are you a proud owner of a Jeep Wrangler and looking to enjoy the open-air driving experience? If so, learning to remove the doors can enhance your off-road adventure. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of taking off the doors from your Jeep Wrangler, ensuring a seamless experience without any damage to your vehicle.
Before we get started, it’s important to mention that this tutorial is applicable to Jeep Wrangler models from 2015 onwards. If you own a Wrangler from the 2014 model year or earlier, you may need to acquire a hex kit from an accessory at a Chrysler dealership if your vehicle doesn’t already have one.
The first step involves utilizing the provided hex kit. Inside the kit, you will find the essential tool for door removal. This tool is specifically designed to release the doors of your Wrangler, making the process straightforward and hassle-free.
Removing the Front Door
Start by bending in the mirror and rolling down the window of the door you’re working on. Then, use the hex tool to loosen and remove the bolts that secure the door. Once the bolts are removed, carefully lift the door and store the pins in the designated storage area located in the back of the Wrangler to prevent misplacement.
Disconnecting the Power Harness
If your Wrangler is equipped with power windows and locks, you’ll need to disconnect the power harness. This harness runs from the door up underneath the vehicle. Simply locate the harness, pop out the connection pin, and detach it to ensure the smooth removal of the door.
Removing the Rear Door
For the rear door, you’ll need to access the wiring by removing the panel located on the B pillar of the Wrangler. Once the panel is off, unplug the door’s wiring and store the pins before gently lifting and removing the door.
Wrapping Up
Whether you own a two-door or four-door Jeep Wrangler, these steps are universally applicable. Remember to handle the doors with care as they can be heavy due to the steel beam inside. Additionally, always keep a firm grip on the door to prevent any accidental damage.
With the doors removed, you’re all set to enjoy the ultimate open-air driving experience in your Jeep Wrangler. So, next time you venture off the beaten path, consider taking off the doors for an exhilarating and liberating ride.
