ok so ive heard a lot about if you take the doors off your xj that the body will crack and break sooo are there any aftermarket bolt in roll cages that will streghten the body so I can thake the doors off? and is the myths true?



the only reason I ask is the passenger side top door hinge weld came off the body and there is no more metal to weld to so at 75 mph the door moves so just wondering.

1. It's not true. They offer a negligible amount of bracing, but if you're twisting the unibody enough to crack it like that then the doors aren't making any difference anyway. They're not a structural component.
2. There are bolt in cages. Google it.
3. Have more metal welded in to weld the hinge to or go to a JY and cut that section out of another XJ and weld it in on yours.
