it feels cool too. when your out bush in a soft top with no doors, you really feel like your out in the bush, rather in a car.

The zook is a bit on the narrow side for my particular testicular endowment, :shock:
and I find the extra width that door removal gives me is much more accomodating in the downstairs department (if you know what I mean ;) )

yeah, it basically just feels :cool: and it's easier to get in and out. Better for visibility while 4bing too. Also cool with the windscreen off, although i only do that when out wheeling not on the road. But I wouldn't do it without a rollcage ;)

offroad it allows you much more vision, allowing for better wheel placement plus it looks :cool:

i'm a regular doorless fella :twisted: i love it. i have been pulled up over it, asked if i was drunk then told i would die if i got hit by another car (like i wouldnt in a zook with doors anywayz) from there i asked him, a senior sargent, if it was a bookable affence.... i didnt get a ticket or a warning, but i also didnt get an answer either.... so as far as i can gauge from the conversation its not something that there is a writen law against, but a cop having a bad day can defect you. just like you dont have to have reverse lights to pass rego, but a copper can defect you for it- go figger. my advise is to be polite and respectable to the copper and you should come out ok. note i havent been hasled about it since. :lol:
p.s make sure you have side mirrors on it somewhere/somehow to remain LEGAL, whatever that is. :finger:

You would be surprised, I had a couple serious rollovers before getting a cage and the original targa bar, and windscreen frame saved me and my passengers from any injury or death.

If by fj40 you mean Sierra then yes :D

Seriously though, you'd have to check with the other 40 owners on the forum. Don't think you can drive a 40 round with no doors but you never know.

I used to drive my 40 around with no doors all the time. Never once got pulled up but that doesnt mean its legal. As long as you have side mirrors you should be roses.
