Default No Doors Family Fail, Half Door Recommendations?

No doors didn't go over too well with the fam! New plan is to get half doors...

I've seen a few here n there, but no definite list with pros / cons of different brands.

If you have half doors (not oem $$$) can you post your brand and dis/likes of them?

thanks!

PS: Want to avoid rattle, and want them to perhaps match look/feel of my LOD Gen 2 bumper/rock rails.

My family didn't care sitting in back with doors off in our notorious Texas crosswinds and our uneven roads. I opted to go with rear OrFab doors. I love them, just a little added security (they like) and I like the look. Zero rattles, $288 delivered if I remember correctly.

I only have a 2 door, but went as well with ORFab Rock doors. Once finally assembled, put on and adjusted, no rattle. I like them better than not having any doors at all. Little protection, and place to rest left arm when not needed to drive while shifting.

My kids love the top down and the doors off. Since the monsoon is ending I'll be getting her naked for at least the weekend.

I too cannot go doorless because I think it's funny to throw stuff at the cars. . .

Same here on not going doorless. My wife thinks I have a genetic disorder for even considering doorless. But then she also thinks everyone should drive around with big flash-cards so they can let everyone know their driving intentions...

I have owned both the Bestop Softies.. uppers and lowers, and now the Rugged Ridge Half Doors with soft uppers.

The softies were good for keeping out low-flying birds, but that's about it. They didn't offer any comfort for the wife, hence now having the RR's. The RR's are awesome. Some folks have had fitment issues, but I must have lucked out. Solid; secure; weather sealed; inside door panel with pull handle and pocket... I could use them year round, I like them that much. Only thing better, in my opinion, that isn't doorless, would be OEM steel half doors.

I can't imagine driving around in the summer with doors. I guess if I had to, I would go for tube doors
