Default Tube Door Opinions Wanted Before I Purchase

There are a few Tube Door options in the market and even soft doors. So before I just purchase something from looking a pretty internet picture I am requesting some feedback on the different door types.

Questions are around fit and finish, the ones with net mesh are these noisy. Or any other feedback you have.

Please let me know. I just know I want something for this summer season and want to do research now.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Don

I've got the rancho tube doors and I'm really happy with them. Fitment is really good and the wrinkle finish is durable and nice. I went with these and added a set of mirrors to remain street legal. These don't have nets so I can't help you there.

I see you live in MI, I'm in Indiana and i can tell you from having tube doors, they are kinda not worth the money... I only have my about 2 maybe 3 months a year that its warm enough to have my doors off... With that being said, check out the rugged ridge tube doors, that's what i have and i love the look and fit, they are also about 200 less than most tube doors, 4 doors that is!

Default My favorite tube doors

I have these, and I love them. Quality built, best customer service I have ever had, and the best looking doors I have seen. ( Of course that is a personal taste opinion) h t t p://www.roughshodoffroad.com Roughshod Offroad

Looks like they are no longer selling stuff, but they do look nice.

In my opinion, and from my own research, and what I want. Best top has tube doors that can accommodate almost, if not every situation. You can change it from tube doors, to half doors, to full doors. I would give them some thought, and check out there sight. But now remember that is just my opinion.

I have body armor and with a little electrical tape on the striker hoop they are extremely quiet. I previously ran the XRC smittybilt my wife had a hard time trying to open them. Lol

Be sure you really want them. I waited around and bought a set used. Took my doors off and never put the tube doors on - I don't know why I wanted them to start with.
