Start by applying copious amounts of WD40 to all four door hinge pins two per door .

Use a 13mm socket or box wrench to take off the nuts at the bottom of the hinge pins. Four nuts total, two per door. you'll probably scuff the paint on the nuts when you wrench them off. Most people removing their doors do not much worry about this.

Detach the keeper straps inside at the forward bottom of the doors.

Now while applying a good amount of upward lift, pivot the door in the hinges. Hopefully it'll start working upward. If your Jeep is older and this has not been done before, it may take quite some effort. Add more WD40, lift hard, keep working it, and sooner or later they should come free.

Once the doors are removed, pull fuse #4, labeled "door defeat" or something like that. Fuses are behind the glovebox. Fuse #4 will prevent the dome lights from staying on all the time, and prevent the light switch warning buzzer from sounding.

Do a search of Answers if you need more details. This question was asked recently.

Good luck, and enjoy your doorless Jeep.

It can take an terrible lot of effort to get them off the 1st time. You may need two people.

When you do get them off, either spray them with WD 40 or apply some grease to the door bolts before putting them back on. The grease is most likely the better choice, though majority of people recommend some grease. The WD 40 works, but you must reapply it pretty frequently this is what I do, since I already have WD 40 and keep forgetting to look for the grease .

If the WD 40 doesnt work, go to any auto parts store and pick up some PB Blaster. Its much better than the WD 40. You may have to let it soak in a little, but I have gotten many rusted bolts loose with the Blaster.
