Re: TJ Door frames - stupid newbie question
I bought my TJ used and didn't see a video. I've only taken the surrounds
off once. Really didn't see the point. That, and my CB mount it now bolted
through the front hole in the surrounds where one of the screws went
through. So I'd have to wrench it on and off every time...

Re: TJ Door frames - stupid newbie question
I take mine off each time just because at least to me, they look pretty
lame when the top is off. I just think the Jeep looks better without
the door surrounds when the top is off. :)
