I think the uppers for SFZ will probably be available this summer. I hope.

I have heard mixed things about RR

I don't have the sfz doors...yet. I have seen them in person. And compared to the RR doors they are far better. The fit is much cleaner. They are very well built. The storage on the doors is great. And as was said before the handle and latch is far superior. When I spend my money on half doors it will be sfz.

We recommend Rugged Ridge. We haven't had any issues or complaints. Good luck with your decision and post some picture when done!!

I am deciding on either of these and OEM doors. Don't really want to spend the bucks on the OEM doors and uppers but I would like to keep the interior of my Jeep fairly dry for now. Maybe in a couple years I will Linex the tub and won't worry about it anymore.

Anyway, the SFZ doors don't look like they have any interior handles to make it easy to close the door. So when you add the uppers, how do you close the door? Do you have to pull on the inside latch?

I just wish that some manufacturer would make great, lightweight, compact doors that would work with the OEM uppers! Or make uppers as good as the OEM ones.

We decided to incorporate the inside handle to close the door into the upper, it was just a design and esthetic issue with the lower portion it looked better without it.

That will work! So when are the uppers going to be ready? Do you have any pics that you can share?

Will the existing doors take the uppers with zero modifications? I'd be willing to buy the doors now if I knew I'd have the uppers in the summer and I could put them n without having to do anything to the existing doors.

I guess I must have bought the only set of Rugged Ridge doors with problems and had them warranty replaced by the only other set of Rugged Ridge doors with problems. What a shitty coincidence!

Yeah I know they can take a beating Dave at higher ground hit them on a rock and it just scuffed the door and his sheet metal was all cut and bent so that's why I'm going with sfz
