I will agree with you that top off, the half doors look great! I like the way the rear of the door is even with the rear of the body. But, I go on and off a military post and have to show ID every time I go on. The roll up windows are definately easier and longer lasting than the zippers. I would have opted for half doors with a sliding glass window upper door if it was an option!

Wow...glad I went with the full doors. To each his own, but half doors are definitely not for me.

Yeesh. Why was every one all hyped about half doors anyways? As a Canadian they make no sense to me. I guess if you live in Florida or something, but still. I am loving the hell out of my power windows now. I can toss the dog in the back and crank it down for him easily.

I think the best thing would be Jeep should offer a half and full door option. Use the full doors when you want, take em off and put on halfs when you want.

Thats why I love Jeeps, they are like the Mr Potato heads of offroading.

I agree that these don't look too great UP, but you can't beat the look when the top's down and the half doors are missing their zip-uppers...

When I test-drove a 2-door X back in December, it had the half doors (I sh1t you not - must've been one of very few with half doors available at the time, because I know that they weren't a readily available option until recently). What I noticed was that, even though the Jeep was brand new, the plastic side windows up front had this awful "distortion" effect - it was like putting on someone else's prescription glasses, and was making me feel nauseous...

I'm with Armycop and hope that the aftermarket comes out with some reasonably-priced alternative, soon. I'm hoping for something like half-doors with an outer "skin" that can be removed, so you can run 'em as half doors with the zip-in upper and skin, or strip 'em down to tubes if you so choose... that'd be pretty cool IMHO.

Thanks for sharing the pics with everyone.

Take it all off and I love it! Unfortunately I have to do most of my driving with the stuff on, and I think it looks goofy. May be it will grow on me.

after having half doors on my TJ, all I have to say is its over. I usaually have the doors on or off....no where in between. The problem I have with half is that it leaks water in, the wind can catch the upper and move it in a out, and its just annoying. When we order the new JK we are getting 4 full doors with power windows.
