If the doors were intended to be removed by the manufacturer then the manufacturer through other means has made the vehicle crash/crush resistant - as doors and door frames are intended to do. If the doors are sitting on pins and can be lifted off there is no way they are going to stay put in an accident, therefore offering little or no real crash protection. any vehicle where the manufacturer has designed the doors to be removed easily has provided crash protection by other means... If you have a CJ or even a YJ that has doors that can be lifted off, the vehicle was designed to be sturdy enough to be driven WITHOUT Doors and therefore in WA state you are completely legal to drive without them. I would think that even the new Wranglers would qualify as the tub is about the same as the older CJs. If your doors have hinges that don't permit the doors to come off, then probably it's part of the vehicle integrity and you will reduce crash worthiness by removing them. I've seen a few XJ's setup this way... that would violate vehicle integrity and would be illegal. so, we have the definitive answer from a recognized legal authority... driving without doors on my cj-10a is NOT illegal. john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 http://creationwiki.org http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2009 21:35:15 -0700 (PDT) From: diesel john Subject: fsj: another Diesel conversion thinking about doing some minor engine swaps in my shop... have a gas welder/generator, a Power Arc 4000 and a Diesel generator, a DG4LE both are around 4KW... the question is whether I can take the Diesel engine and mount it on the Power Arc 4000 welder/gen setup.

This is assuming both have the same size pulleys. If you go slightly bigger on the diesel pulley, the RPM would match up. (1/36th bigger to be "exact!") Don't know about the effect on the torque though (wish they were rated the "real" way!)
