Default Poll: Which Tube Doors

Need help selecting some doors here..... Tell me which ones you like best.... Of note, there is about a $250.00 price difference on these when buying all 4 doors. I think you know which ones cost more....

I voted Olympic, as long as they latch good, put the $250 into another mod.

I like them both, which is why I'm having trouble deciding. I like the simplicity of the Olympics, but the Ranchos look kickass...... But, the Olympics are a lot cheaper..... I'm on the fence. Thanks for the input guys!

You're probably right. I do this with every decision and always end up picking the most expensive, badass product out there

Rancho tube doors are better than the Olympic for reason stated above.

Now, if it were up to I'd go with the Hard rock element door by besttop. Why? They are the most versatile due to the accessories available: door covers which convert the tube door into a half door. They are paintable BTW. And they also have the upper door piece as well. Of course these cost extra and for a 4dr it can get $$$, but the options are there. Something the other 2 brands don't have. As a matter of fact the element look alot like the Rancho.

I know you like Quadratec and guess what? That us where you will find them, so check them out Dave!

Yeah, man those are pricey as hell. Especially if you start buying all the stuff that goes with them. I can tell you one thing..... I know that I would never add anything to the tube doors once I get them. I like the way they look with nothing on them. I wouldn't want to add saddle bags and all that other stuff. So, that's why I'm trying to keep it fairly simple. Just plain bars!

No, forget the saddle bags. I'm talking about covers which convert the tubies to half doors. I'm sure you don't plan to keep the tube doors on forever. The covers can be removed with ease. Don't ever have to remove the tube doors. Hows that? That's easier than carring the heavy ass factory door. Something to think about.
