Default Half Doors

This is the first jeep that I have had with full doors, and I went looking to buy half doors (factory style, not cloth or tube) for the summer, and I can't seem to find them anywhere... Do they not sell half doors anymore, or is there a trick to finding them?

The trick is to order your Jeep with them ... or find a dealer that has one with half doors on the lot ... which is extremely rare ...

you're looking for the most sought after dealer item. There has been "talk" of availability for years. Priced accordingly to supply $$$$$$$$$.

Best way to get them is order them when you buy the Jeep. Since you already have your Jeep you are now in the same "boat" as MANY other Jeep owners.

Yeah, I've been wanting OEM half doors for a long time now. I may have to just go with Bestop tube doors w/steel enclosure.

Anyone messed with the River Raider half doors? They look almost OEM.

The Bestop Element doors now come in factory match paint ... for a lot less than OEM Half Doors.



Painted to Match Lower Element Door Enclosures

I have Bestop Element Doors ... they are nowhere near the quality of factory half doors. The fit and finish is poor and they rattle like hell.

looks like it wouldn't be very comfortable resting your arm on the door either
