Default NEW Smittybilt G.E.A.R. Door Panels

Recieved My NEW Smittybilt G.E.A.R Door Panels and Finally got them installed ...
I would Highly recommend replacing the crappy screws they come with, i used short good old fashion robertson self tapping screws worked great...

The MOLLE Packs are not included with the Smittybilt G.E.A.R. Door Panels i bought them from another source....

I like these. The only downside is if you run with the doors off you lose that storage space and whatever you have in them.

Do you put your legs in between the door and seat?? Don't see how these would mess with leg room...

Does it all drill through plastic or straight through the sheet metal of the door?

I like the idea, a little extra space wouldnt hurt for anything. Itd be a good place to stick a few things I can think of. Plus with where they are they shouldnt fade that much at all. A buddy of mine has the seat covers in his TJ and they faded pretty quick. Which is the only thing that makes me not want to get them.
