    That would probably be negated by the disrupted air flow created.

    For off road use...better visibility. Or to be jeep-like!

    Or...because he wants to and can!

    What is crazy is that when I ran around the block with it you could feel it was much lighter feeling and the air flowed through it as opposed to being a parachute like it is with tha back on and windows down. I wouldn't be suprised if the mileage did increase. I would say each door was around 60 lbs and a bit more for the back door.

    And without the rear door, you can actually see behind you. It is nuts!!!

    Of course, I plan to put 33" tires on it soon so that will negate the weight at least.

    Same here. And you could still incorrprate a fuel can. The angled tire would increase rear visibility.

    Another option if someone wants to do the photo chop...
    Tube gate angled outward with tire standing upright on one side face front to rear (like the trophy trucks) and a fuel can on the other side (hope my description makes sense).
