Just wondering if it's ok to drive a XJ on the street with no doors? I assume it would me as long as you have mirrors but figured I would check.

I'm getting another set of doors for my XJ but it'll be a week or two.

depends on cops in your area, weather they want to fuck with you about it. I ran my MJ with no doors and never had issues, even without mirrors. there's a fine line in the law about it, but the main idea is understood is as long as you have a lip on the floor, (you do) and rear view mirror and drivers side mirror, or have both side mirrors and no rear view mirror you will be fine.

Thats kinda what I thought. I don't think the police here mind. Any idea what is the best way to mount a drivers side mirror?

Seen it where a guy used a big azz magnet to hold the mirror onto the fender. Said he got it at the local auto parts store and hood fabed a mirror to it.

Hey thats a good idea! I was going to drill a hole in the fender and mount a little gay ass bike mirror.

Well I had a state police officer walk up to me at the gas station and he said, "Don't you know it's illegal to run that on the streets with no doors?" I said, "No it's not" He then said, "yes it is, it's a safty issue" I then stated, "Well I called the coldwater post and asked and they told me it was ok as long as I had mirrors and my seat belt on and I also looked it up and what I read said I have to have a 2 inch lip at the bottom of the door frame and either both side mirrors or the rear view and drivers side mirror." He then said, "Oh really I didn't know that, Well I'm not one to write excessive tickets but you'll probley get pulled over, have a good day." and then he walked away. So I guess the issue is going to be if they know the law or not. I guess I can't expect them to know all of them. I'm going to print it out and carry it with me in case I get pulled over again.
