Woo eee, you don't want much do you?  LOL!

I think the only way is to unbolt them at the door side with a couple
guys holding the door and a brace under it while you do it.  I 'think'
the body side of the hinges is welded on, but could be off or your 99
could be different.

No matter which side you unbolt, I would 'highly' recommend you drill a
1/8" hole through the hinge and door frame before loosening the bolts.
That way when you try to get them back on you have a hope of maybe
lining the door up again by putting a 1/8" drill bit through the holes.

I don't believe the door pins can be taken out easily at all, but could
be wrong.

There are drain holes in the floor under the carpet.  I would open those
too so when it rains on it, it can drain out.  I would have the carpet
or at least the underlay out also.

Oxy-Acetylene. You might check with your local laws, I don't remember
anyone doing it to a car since my Dad took the doors off a 1936 Ford Phaeton
and called it a Dust Buggy, that was back in the early fifties.

I wonder what that would do to the vehicles structural integrity, unlike
a Wrangle the Cherokee was never intended to be driven without doors.

1) take your cherokee to a dealer

2) trade it in for a wrangler

3) remove the doors

4) be happy :)
