Well, I see from your profile, that you are in Winnipeg. Is there white stuff all over the ground? That means that it's winter time in Manitoba, and nobody I know would dare to drive around without doors and a hard top on the jeep. Wait a few months till it warms up some - then take the doors and top off. Believe me...frozen ears are no fun.

Princess Auto sells a set that comes with a socket and interchangable sized bits (both sizes you need) all nicely fitted into a open plastic holder. I keep a 3/8s ratchet and this set in the trunk pocket. Ready anytime and no rummaging throught the tool box looking, plus if your travellin', when you reach the cabin, torx are there to pull the doors til it's time to go home!

I have a set of Torx wrenches that look like Allen keys (bent steel rod). They work great for the doors.
