Default Half/Tube Doors - lets hear it...

As always, my warped jeep brain is moving again and thinking about half or tube doors. To make things worse, the Strike Force Zebra ones end in 12 days for their special price and makes it harder to resist, haha...

So, lets hear it... tell me why your running half/tubs doors over no doors at all(besides the obvious safety aspect)

Why tube vs solid half doors? What's considered the "best" for both? Do you have uppers with them or just run lowers?

Tube doors are like diapers for grown ups.

I ordered up some Smittybilt tube doors. I LOVE going doorless but it's illegal in my province. I figure a tube door should be considered a door. It does say "door" right in the name. Tubes are as close to doorless as I can get. Legally. Now I have to find some mirrors so I can avoid that ticket too. Half doors look sweet but I want to be as open as possible. Either way you should get better visibility on the trail than you would with a full door.

Im thinking buying ruggedridge ones half doors but not tube cause up here in quebec there is too much mud and deep water holes to take the chance to go trail doorless unless you don't care about filling up you truck with water.
