Default Half door options?

I've been searching around for a while... I think I'll just ask. I'm interested to know what people like in terms of "temporary" half doors, like tube or fabric deals for use with the top off. I'm not interested in real half doors due to price, and I don't really need them anyway, just something to keep the kids and my junk contained in the vehicle with the top off. Provision for a mirror is a big plus. Please plug whatever has worked for you. This is for an unlimited, so there need to be matching rear doors. Thanks.

The Rancho doors like they ran on EVO1 looked cool.

I used to have some on my old CJ7 that were like steel rod covered in canvas and I really liked the way they looked on the Jeep. Haven't seen anything like that for the JK yet.

Bestop makes them but a lot of people have complained about the quality for the price.

Thanks for that info, will have to check them out. Just want to have them for running topless on the trails. Don't like the way it looks topless with the full size doors.

Default element half doors

Like my Olympic Safari tube doors-they also have an attachment for their mirrors.
Down side...when the temp dips, it is a COLD ride...

So, I recently got the Element tube doors with the enclosure kit, mirrors, bags, and top windows (just like the old inserts from my 95 that had half doors).
Much cheaper than factory half doors, definitely not airtight, but I really like the look. They are lockable which is a plus! So far happy with them!!!

Actually I find the quality of the soft doors not bad. It's the fit that takes a bot of fiddling to get right.

Coming from where it rains a little almost every @:;($ day in the summer, I love my soft doors and wouldn't trade them for anything! Once you get over the fact that they won't be perfect, you realize that's it must be just a Jeep thing!
