Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

JKRVEE, did you get Mopar paint to match? i'm thinking about painting my bestop element doors when they get here, I think yours look awesome.

If i had a choice in tube door i might have gone with Body Armor, but because i won this set i have to love them and i'm sure i will

And that's the reason for the thread.

JKRVEE i'm pretty sure you have more pictures, can you share them? I need to drool a little more before i go to bed. And don't the stock mirrors mount up to the doors? if not i found a set of 02 TJ mirrors on ebay for $36 bucks or so.
Thanks! the response I get, from thumbs up to people taking pictures is unbelievable! I really like these doors. The latches are a little tricky to get adjusted just right, and I did install small rubber bumpers on the front ones to keep them from rattling when shut. But overall I'm happy. The stock mirrors will fit, but it takes a funky adapter (included) that I didn't like, and to avoid changing mirrors everytime, eBay had cheap TJ mirrors. As for the color, it's powdercoat. Paint chips too easy. Ill send some pics, although they might be removed because of a non sponsored vendor sticker.

Dammit.. now i'm going to have to paint mine to match... and order those mirrors

Keep them coming, it's summer!

Also if you could add how you like the set of doors you have to help people decide on what will be best for them judging by the pro's and con's.

Here's a couple pics of my Smittybilt tube doors. They took a little bit to align, but they're stout and close well. My OEM mirrors are attached.

My Body Armor TJ mirrors vibrate like a mofo. I hate them. No matter what i do, i cant get rid of the shaking.

I ordered RR round pillar mount mirrors but they're on backorder for another 2-4 weeks.

Well you live up to your username, thats pretty awesome. Perfect setup. Question; what kind of latch mechanism do the smittybuilt's have because i don't see an outside latch? - Thanks


BigRed, so you're saying to stay away from TJ mirrors? did you get your set used or new?
Most likely i'm going to have to get the doors and see what kind of things i can do. I would like to have everything ready to install them but if i can't, i still can't complain. I have no idea when my doors are coming? I mail the certificate on monday.

Thank you... I really like the way it's turning out. I don't have any pics of the latch, but there's a bolt type on the inside of the door. Slide it forward to release.
