Yeah, there isn't a good way to tell without going all the way to the window sticker, I was hoping someone knew of an easier and faster way. There aren't any GREAT incentives yet, I might be better off ordering one.

Back when I was searching for one with half doors my dealer was able to find a few that I never saw with my inventory searches. They were colors I didn't want so I ordered mine took six weeks. I would do it again if I couldn't find what I wanted. Half doors are worth it for me.

I searched forever to find mine with half-doors and just got lucky one day on cars.com. Helped that I also had to have a 6-speed, so it made searching really easy since 6-speeds are rare and easy to search by. Mine ended up being a cancelled dealer order. Kinda creeped me out to know there's someone out there that would order MY EXACT JK (Crush, Rubicon Unlimited, 6-speed, half-doors). The guy's financing fell through, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it. The dealer said they don't get half door wranglers unless a customer specifically orders one.

I wouldn't trade my half doors for anything. No idea why they're not more popular. I've run into a lot of JK owners that didn't even know they were an option. Keep searching until you find one, or just bite the bullet and order one.

I work with a bunch of TJ/LJ guys and they all want full doors not halfs and the JK guys wish for halfs? Go figure.

Why do they want full-doors so bad?

They say they hate the zippers for the uppers to which i say they could buy sliders for the uppers. I never unzip mine it's either cold enough to leave them in or warm enough to leave them at home.
