The answer to this question, of course, depends on the vehicle statutes for your state. For instance, in PA:
PA inspection code states - § 175.77 (f) Doors. A vehicle specified under this subchapter shall be equipped with doors of a type used as original equipment. The doors shall open and close securely unless the vehicle has been manufactured or modified to the extent that there is no roof or side. Tailgates, except on vehicles where the tailgate gives access to the passenger compartment, may be replaced with wood planking, nets or other material that will prevent loss of load. Tailgates may be removed when optional equipment, for example a truck camper, is added.
Apparently this is open to interpretation, whereby officers may cite Jeep Wrangler w era for driving doors off. There is a new petition up at Change.org speaking to this here:

However, I've just been reading through Colorado statutes before falling asleep here and cannot find anything prohibiting driving DO.
Anyone know of a definitive guide/resource that speaks to all states and the legalities surrounding using off road equipment as a DD?
