Freebies With Half Doors

[27352]

I also ordered a Willys sport with half doors. Also received the power windows ,locks and mirrors. Speaking of freebies, starting in 2020 model year if you have power locks the module for remote start is the same. I bought a new key fob from my dealer with the remote button and they flashed it for me so now I have remote start. Problem for me is I don't want the power options. That is why I specifically ordered a willys sport. Now if I trade and leave off the half door option I also have to leave off AC to stay with the 5 inch radio which I also want. Still pondering what to do?

You see them for sale often in that section and you are apparently able to order all the parts through Mopar. Then you just put them together and get them painted. There is a big thread on it somewhere here.

Yeah, I saw that post but I'm unsure how that works with all the bells and whistles that I enjoy on my full doors.
Keyed locks too.

You build them. Including keying the locks to your key. If you found the thread, all the instructions are in that thread. People have done it. And it's not bad for pricing IIRC,.

Personally, I think half doors are useless in "half mode" (just man up and go doorless) and butt-ass-ugly with the cloth uppers attached. And for what Jeep charges for them, the "freebie" ought to be a lifetime membership in the BJ-of-the-month club.

I'd love to man up and go doorless, but part of being a man is being prepared and that includes preparing for all the idiots in my city that go around driving drunk/distracted and t-boning people. I'd like a little protection and some structure for the side airbag should anything happen. But I hear you on the price. The thought that my base Sport will get power doors, locks, and mirrors makes it more palatable. If I were starting with a higher trim, I'd be more upset at the price.

I ordered a Willys Sport Unlimited with the half doors. JLUR looks sweet with the top off and lower half doors on... like my TJ. I’ll take the extra protection from mud and trail trash thrown by the tires also. I didn’t really want the PW but I’ll take the PL & heated mirrors for no additional cost.

Do you get the power locks and windows with both the Base or Premium uppers?

I'm looking at leasing and the Willys Sport residual is 4% higher than the Sport S. The only thing for me that the Sport S has is the ability to add factory heated seats. That is, if the half doors gains you the powered doors.

I received a build notice for my Willys Sport with half door kit (premium uppers w/hardtop) and it had the power windows, power door locks w/remotes & power/ heated mirrors listed. If your wanting a Wrangler without a lot of options you can’t beat the deal in my opinion. It was supposed to be built 2/3, so I just checked with Jeep Chat & they said it was built but waiting on optional equipment to be installed? I’m guessing the base chassis was built and now it’s waiting on Diesel engine and components.

@stonejl - One more question if you'd be so kind - does yours have an alarm system? I assume that the addition of the power door locks, key fob, etc. gives the Sport an alarm system but I'm not sure. I'm about to either get a base Sport + half doors or a Sport S depending on whether the half doors gain me the alarm too. Thanks!

I just thought of another question as well.

Does the half door option add the tailgate power unlock, or is it still manual?

I’m not sure. How do I check?

Yes it has power locking tailgate.

Thanks for being so helpful, but it turns out that the limited edition color I ended up ordering (High Velocity Yellow) didn't allow for half doors, oddly enough, so I was forced to skip them. I imagine if you had a working panic button, it would indicate the alarm though.

These are now for sale. PM me for details.
