Thanks for telling us why half doors aren't for you in a time we much needed to hear your thoughts. Now we can all sleep peacefully.
I simply offered my thoughts, the same way you're offering yours- which I'm sure are greatly appreciated for their in depth analysis and careful thought:
Show a single post where anyone begged for a crappy half upper.
I too will be sleeping peacefully knowing I've added something to your day. I'm glad I could help!

Using half doors offroad gives more visibility than just rolling the window down.
It looks like you gain maybe 3 inches visibility? Is that worth $15-2000.00? If it means you dont have to slightly lean over to see outside the window I suppose.

YES!!!!FINALLY!!!! (But the uppers do look stupid as crap!)

I am confused a little though. I emailed FCA a little over a month ago and asked about future availability of factory Half Doors. They responded in less than 24 hrs. with ā€œUnfortunately factory Half Doors for the JL will not be available. Please work with your local Mopar Dealer to find an aftermarket solution if you need Half Doorsā€

Is this sudden availability brought about by pressure from the Bronco? If it is then thank you FORD! Iā€™ve always despised the look of full frame doors on any Jeep with the top down/off. It just ruins the look of this American icon!

I had half doors on both my YJā€™s and my TJ and absolutely loved them! Mine never leaked enough to complain.

We have not ordered yet and this is some very welcome news. Iā€™ll be ordering a Hella Yella 2 door Rubi w/6 spd. manual. I definitely want the half doors and not opposed to dual tops and dual doors if I can get it? I donā€™t mind the full doors with a hard top. If I cannot get it all then Iā€™ll just get the premium soft top with half doors. On the Jeep build and price it allows me to choose both the hard top and premium soft top but I donā€™t see any door options....

Why do you need that suspension lift? So you can go over that rock? You should just go around it .

You can't always go around the rock. You can always lean over to see whats outside. I (kinda) understand if people want this to be different, but to say it gives you some big advantage off-road for that kind of money makes no sense.

While half doors give a bit more visibility, it also really appeals to some peoples aesthetics. Growing up my mom's friend had a white jeep with half doors so to me that is what a "Jeep" looks like.

In my opinion it really makes it look amazing when you have the soft top down. Plus being able to take the tops off and throw them in the back gives you a good view and a great arm rest.

Just like bumpers tho, they get a job done and many people will like them and many people won't even care. Don't let the others irritate you. Like what you like yo! I saved up for these and am hella excited to get them as soon as they come out

Read again. No one who wanted half doors wanted the upper doors to be crap.

And stop offering to wipe other people's asses.
How shocking. A troll running mental gymnastics to try and not look like an idiot.

With baron95 gone you have convincingly upped the ladder for biggest idiot on this forum. Keep up the good work.

Man, this thread, and the others related to half doors too, are FILLED with these nay-sayers and haters, who can't understand why people want half doors.

You guys are exhausting. Move on.

Some police departments enforce the door rule. Vehicle must be equipped with the doors on the vehicle as it came from the factory. These half doors would be legal to run on the road. Aftermarket fabric doors/tube doors are not road legal where I live. I know many municipalities don't care. A few around me do care.

How exactly did I troll? I doubt you know the meaning. Looks like you're one of those people who don't like to be corrected. Which is why you're old enough to have a driver's license but still use terms like "mental gymnastics". I wouldn't be surprised if baron95 is actually one of your accounts to make yourself look better... kind of like an ugly person hanging out with even uglier people to look relatively better.
