doors off?

hey i was just wondering if anyone knows the rules about taking your doors off. im guessing just taking them off is illegal. how about tube doors and half doors? what do you do with your mirrors? thanks

No one makes tube doors for an earily first gen from what I've seen. Most people make there own.

Laws change from state to state in regard to no doors. Usually as long as you have mirrors and seat belts are worn you are fine.

some states / provences laws state that there MUST be a closure -- Basically to stop cans and ☺☺☺☺ from rolling out from the floor on to the road .. CHECK YOU OWN LAWS .. I know here 1/2 doors are ok tube doors are not .

I see alot of toys with mirrors mounted to the fender when they have the doors off? Half doors are nice, plus you can keep mirrors on the door

Just lean out the door and look back to check blind spots
It's easy to take off Toyota doors, after modding your pins that is.

The half doors I'm working on have the stock mirrors on them still.

Jeeps can have their doors off because the cab comes up on the sides keeping cans and junk from rolling out.

Once again, it depends on the State, County, City, Province, cop (if he/she got laid last night), etc.

I was in the store the other day with a state trooper, he said doors and rearview mirrors wern't required here in Tenn. Point being call the State Trooper's office. He also said you didnt need a windshield but you had to have wipers. WTF!

Here in Ontario you need 1 rear view mirror so by having the windshield one your fine.
However my friend got a ticket because he had no mirrors on his doors.

Depends on the cops mood.

I believe here in AZ. you're supposed to have 1 rear view and 1 side mirror. But if there's no door, can't you see out better? go figure.
