Half doors: Element doors question

[James Baker]

Hi folks,
I’m currently in the market for some half doors and I’m leaning towards the Besttop Highrock Element doors with enclosure and uppers. I just have a couple of questions:

1: Is this the best option at that price point? With young kids only planning to get 2 doors for now despite having a JLU. Also saw the JCR half doors but would prefer to save the money

2: What mirrors would you recommend with this setup? Used as a daily driver, and I do Homecare so I’m in and out of the Jeep all day.

Thanks in advance!

It is the best option at this price point, from everything I've researched. A few other companies doing half doors, tons doing tube doors, but almost none that are doing a half door that is compatible with an upper.

Honestly, nothing even comes close to factory half doors. I hate spending money, but after a year of searching options, I found a pair of oem on FB and bought them. Best money I've spent on the Jeep. Absolutely was worth the higher price and looks WAY better (both interior and exterior) than anything else on the market.

Tube is better than half for offroad stuff. You can't look through a passenger half door..

Nor can you as easily look through the drivers half door as no door or tubes..

Mopar tubes come with covers if you want them for wind and sand action.

Thank you, that’s what I was seeing too. Do you know which mirrors work for those doors? May need to email Besttop..

$1439 for tube steel half doors and steel skins and uppers for my two door. If you buy them let me know the fit, finish, and how it does on the highway. My drive to the beach is 30 miles of which 25 miles is freeway. We did it once with doors off, it’s just too noisy and ear pressure hurts to go above 40 or so. Need a motorcycle helmet For comfort.

vs. $674 for the fabric two piece half doors.

The mirror mounting kit is all that’s needed from them.
And then it’s just a matter of finding any mirrors that use OEM style mounting holes.
