How far do you drive with the top down and doors off your Jeep?

So far about 20 miles round trip for me, local country scenic roads...no real highway travel.

I used to take 100 mike or so trips no top no doors with mt TJ. When I had my CJ, I drove it from Pa to NH no top or doors.
With my JK, I am not getting nearly the enjoyment out of it as I should for a variety of factors, not the least of which is my driver's side ear.

Western Mass. to RI shore.
Sun was a scorcher so I ran stagecoach with the top up, doors off and windows off.
Would not hesitate to go farther, but this trip was about 230 miles round trip and the longest I have done up to now. Definitely repeating that trip. It was a blast tooling around the coast with doors off on a nice day!

I've only had the TJ two summers and last year, I still had some mechanical stuff to do before going to far anyway...

Just took the doors off for the first time two days ago, drove it around town today. Loved it!

Pretty sure they had never been removed before. Had to use a jack and a couple 2x4’s to get them off. Also two of the nuts were rusted onto the door hinge pins and sheared off when I tried to remove them so I had to order some of those.

Also, never thought about the guard dog situation, guess you gotta keep a look out with no doors lol.

Last trip was to Dubois PA from Maine for Labor Day weekend, ~1200 miles round trip.
I carry a Cab Cover that is water tight with door flaps so if need be I can pull off and cover up and I do also keep the soft top rolled up in a boot on the back.
Doors have been sitting in my living room since July.

Moving to Durango, CO they tell you that the sun shines 300 days a year; what they do not tell you is that every day in the summer around 4pm there is an amazing thundershower with rain going sideways. Being a stubborn northeaster I insisted on going topless/doorless from May to Sep. My 50 mile drive home from work, over the high plains, would often leave me having to pull the tub plugs on getting to the apartment. It was always good for some smiles and an excuse to clean the jeep of all that Blackbear, Silverton, Ouray dust. Sorry about that last bit, I am living in Switzerland now and there is no jeeping at all (good deals on CJ6s for some reason), so I am reliving my good old days.
