Now I know half doors from OEM parts = way to much for my budget. They do look great though!

South of Disorder is right

$7000 - I think I'll wait till an aftermarket company makes some skins and fab my own

By the way, he must be a Parrothead!

Still waiting on 2 rear hinges. Bodyshop wants to paint the 4 doors & AEV hood all at the same time.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I have missed half doors of my YJ. You just don't get the same open feeling, of riding with the top down and full doors. Yes, you can take the doors off (and I do often). But then you can't take them with you. Half doors are the best of both worlds.

7K is a little out of my price range. I take it that doesn't include painting?
