But no built-in provisions to attach an upper if they ever come out with one.:brokenhearted:

Jeep promised half doors after the donuts showcase, and now silence... no word on them. I thought by now they were supposed to be out already. I can’t replace my JK until they are out on the JL and/or Gladiator. Come on Jeep.
It's bait and switch by Jeep/FCA. I didn't get half-doors for my JK because I was waiting to put that money towards the JL half doors and they're no where in sight.

@JeepCares: Can you help?

I’m just going to wait on Bestop to release their core doors for the JL.

The core doors look awesome, but my OCD might kick in with the color matching :(

I am sure if there was an option for dual doors they would sell more of them.

Since the Jeep is my daily driver, it'd be great if Mopar or the aftermarket would build half doors with upper sliders.

The sliders were always an aftermarket option and were pretty serious $. At least this was the case in TJ’s, I’m not sure about JK’s.
No one made aftermarket sliders for the JK half doors. One company did offer a retrofit kit. It did look nice if not somewhat unfinished on the inside.

The retrofit also had a huge draw back of taking a lot of the "elbow room" from the uppers. I think I'll stick with the vinyl this time around. Plus opening them was never really enoyto get an arm out and they rattled.

This time though I have a 2 door so no worries about the rear vinly windows flapping outside if I unzip lol. Made my Jeep look like it was flapping little wings trying it's damnest to fly.

Well I reached out to Jeep and got a generic response.

As I was researching for these half doors for you ,I do see that they are not available at this time, possibly later. There are tube doors available but not half doors

Ofc it's not fair to put to much into this as he's just working with info he has and they were pretty bad St communication at launch.

Thank You, for at least looking in to this! I really hope FCA/Mopar, decides to just produce them. Offer them only on Base Sport, Base Willys, and genuine mopar parts, and the uppers!! I bet, the JL core doors, and OEM Half Doors arrive in sync. Because both will need the uppers. That is my Best Top, guess.

I'm really hoping that too. The uppers should be almost identical and it would safe bestop some money.

When I ordered them, I planned on painting them. I kind of like them black now.
