Installed Rancho Rock Tube Doors
Weather has been beautiful for a week straight here. Had the top and doors off. Also had the chance to install my newly arrived Rancho Rock Tube Doors. Had them on about a week and I have been very happy with them. Very solid and well made. Latch system works great and is very stable. My 7 and 9 y/olds are much more comfortable riding with these on when the factory doors are off. They were easy to install thanks to the write-up here on the forum. Took me less than 45 minutes with some easy assembly and drilling. I have not had any issues with rattling. They are rock solid if the bump stops are placed correctly. I had a lot of positive comments on how sharp they looked.
Only negatives - The nuts were a pain to screw on to the top hinge once placed - I did get quicker with each door. On one of the back doors the latch closed really hard. After looking I noticed that the metal bar the latch clips to was slightly skewed on the JK and was not the doors fault. I got som rubber washers to elevate the hinge pin slightly and now it clicks smoothly. You can see this in the third picture.

I liked how they looked but the fact that I could use the factory mirrors was a huge plus. Taking the mirrors of and putting them on these doors was a breeze.
Thanks. I do like the look when they are on. I don't mind sharing info either. They were $590 for all 4 shipped to my door UPS ground. I ordered on a Monday and had them on a Friday. I am pretty happy with what I recieved for that price. I do not have the technical skills to create my own and I don't know anyone that could make something this nice either.
