Re: Driving a Jeep without doors legal/illegal?
I have my body armor trail doors on ... for a week now and passing several red/silver cars in AD ... no problems!
(I have my side mirrors mounted to them though ... so maybe if you want to go completely door less you might want to consider having your mirrors mounted to the wind shield frame?)

Re: Driving a Jeep without doors legal/illegal?
Agree with SSS. My wife has been driving with rock doors for several months and apart from admiring views from people and offers to purchase the car, she hasnt been stopped by police. She has the mirrors mounted on the rock doors.
I would imagine no doors at all may be seen as a risk to the driver.

Re: Driving a Jeep without doors legal/illegal?
In 8 years in the UAE, I havent seen a wrangler with no doors driving on the street.
When I had my tube rock doors on the JK, I was stopped several times by the cops but they let me go since I had the mirrors mounted on the front windshield.
But I believe having no doors, even if you have side mirrors, is a big NONO from the police.

Full size saddle bags on rock doors are a cunning disguise.

Even in the United States of american Jeeps driving completely without doors is a NONO in many states. (Whereas rock doors are ok in all of them)
Same applies for fenders covering or not covering the tires completely ... and even for lift height. (6" is too tall for some states)
Most of the time law enforcement is "Jeep tolerant" though. But emissions (catalytic converters and EVAP systems) is absolute no tolerance zone !

Fortunately, in US they've got offroad parks and you have option to remove doors and store them before you start crawling... No mirrors - agree its an issue, but no doors... well should be ok... btw there is no removing fenders on manual there is removing side steps for offroad use.
Removing roof - dangerous.
Driving Yaris (no offense) - more dangerous than JK without doors
Rock doors - wont really help much, in case of...
....Covering tyres = bigger tires = mod
lift of the vehicle = mod
change of bumpers = mod
removing door = feature of vehicle
Agree, talking to AD Cop may not work.. but that again, they can fine you for stickers, lift, catback, lights, M/T tires, metal bumpers, and more

Re: Driving a Jeep without doors legal/illegal?
Driving a Jeep without doors can be legal or illegal depending on local regulations. In many places, it's legal to drive a Jeep without doors as long as certain safety measures are in place, such as having side mirrors and seatbelts. However, laws vary by location, so it's essential to check the specific regulations in your area. you have a simple and safe option to hire a Designated Driver Dubai to drive your car carefully and also you can enjoy a stress-free journey.
