Let us hear that you want Core Doors!

Lol. This is like the retractable sunshade thread that Cassie started over two years ago.

Wish in one hand and crap in the other - see which one you fill up first.

It's not really about "petitions". We wouldn't make an investment this large because of a petition count. It's more a matter of letting enough JL and JTs into the market to be able to support a product with as much tooling cost as these have. I think we're beginning to get to that level but still, please be patient This will take time.

Thanks for the update Lee! I can completely understand the business requirements for market size to justify the development costs. I think for every post here there are lots of people who would jump on a set of core doors because they are so much better than what is out on the market right now. So I and thousands like me will just wait but I think eventually it will make financial sen$e to produce the core doors for the JL. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Keep us posted!

I don't understand that. You know the jl isn't going anywhere, so if you invest now you'll make your money back sooner as people will start buying now.

If you invest later people are going to buy something else and you lose sales

Without disagreeing with the matter of investment expenses mentioned by Lee/Bestop, the text quoted here makes sense.

The JL platform is four, soon to be five years old. Now, FCA really phoned it in when they recycled the JLU's rear doors for the Gladiator, but by doing so they concurrently and painlessly doubled the potential market for vendors who do, may or will manufacture aftermarket doors of any design or purpose. And so one can legitimately wonder why an improved door design, intended for a not-frugal enthusiast market, continues to flutter in the wind.

Sorry, I didn’t read all 10 pages but wanted to add that it would be great if someone would make tan twill uppers for half doors. We’re ordering a tan top and would love to have a half door with tan uppers option.

I know it doesn’t matter, but I’m one of those people. I was ready to drop money on them, this thread gave me hope, but then they said they shelved the project. So I went through the PITA process of finding take off factory half doors and getting them painted.

I’d have rather had the core doors. I didn’t want fancy painted half doors, just rugged bare core doors but oh well.

Bestop, I just wanted to remind you that we love you and we want Core Doors.

THANK YOU !!!

We love you too and I can't wait to be able to offer these to you. I still don't have any dates, but I have lots of hope.

I'm looking for front OEM half doors now. I don't care if they have handling or shipping damage because they will have to be painted anyway. I don't even want uppers, because I'll never use them with a top.

I'm giving up on these.

Something tells me that we won't be seeing core doors offered until they stop making the JL model (2023?). I bet there's a deal between Bestop and Jeep that Jeep will use Bestop Sunrider tops as long as Bestop doesn't compete with Jeep's other options like their half doors. That would be a smart business deal but sucks for those of us wanting Core Doors.

the JK ran for 11 years (07-18). The JL will be around past 2023.

Yeah no way the JL will end in 2023. They are really just getting started. I can't see them doing a next gen until probably 2030 or so.

I would be interested in the core doors for my 2022 Rubicon.

[StardogGT]
