How to Remove Your Doors and Stay Street-Legal

How to Remove Your Doors and Stay Street-Legal

We've all been in the position where we want to take the doors off of our Jeeps as soon as summer starts. That said, how do you go about it in a way that still allows you to take your car legally out on the highways?

When removing the doors off your Jeep, the primary thing that you need to think about is your mirrors. In most states, it is illegal to drive without a rear view mirror and at least one side mirror. If you end up taking your doors off, naturally the mirrors go with it, so how do you accommodate for that?

Kentrol's proposal to that is our line of EZ Detach (for TJ and JK) and Outback Mirrors (for CJ, YJ, TJ, JK, and JT). These mirrors are designed to attach to the frame of the car, sans door. By doing this, you can keep your car street-legal, and as a bonus, have a little bit of that chrome finish with a part that will last you a lifetime.

Door Hinge Liners

Door Hinge Liners

When reinstalling your doors in the early days of fall, sometimes you need to replace parts of your hinges. Perhaps, you just know you want a long-lasting upgrade to ensure it won't be an issue. We at Kentrol are here to help you with our array of door hinge liners, available for the JK, JL, and JT.

Our replacement door hinge liners are made from a unique type of plastic called Black Delrin, or otherwise known as acetal. Acetal is considered an "engineering" plastic due to it's resistance to being distorted/it's strength. This material is low in friction and stiff, making parts made out of it durable and easy to install. Overall, this makes it a heated competitor to metal parts in a variety of scenarios, namely in automotive products.

Considering replacing the hinge on your Jeep's tailgate? Maybe you are just looking for an upgrade. Either way, Kentrol has you covered. With all of our parts being made of stainless steel, and a variety of part coatings (or lack thereof) available to you, you simply cannot go wrong.

A car with damaged or malfunctioning tailgate hinges risks compromising the integrity of the tub of the vehicle. By replacing your parts with Kentrol stainless steel hinges, not only do you have a weather-resistant part to look forward to, but additionally, less sound!
