I ended up getting the Element (BestTop) tube doors and added the metal skin and soft uppers. My plan is to strip the metal skin off at the trail head. Not sure how easy that will be, I may just keep it on ala half-door style . My point to this is that the door is VERY solid and may even provide more protection than the stock door. That combined with my reccaro aluminum framed child seat I feel he's pretty safe in the back.

I just added a full set of Bestop soft doors.
As noted here on the forums, these doors come with an expectation of a love-hate relationship.
The half doors are awesome.. not quite the doors-off feel, but here in New York, on the congested roads, doors off can prove a little un-nerving and my wife is absolutely dead-set against getting in the rig with no doors.
When you first install these you are likely to have buyers remorse as the fit is horrible. At any speed over 40mph the top leading edge of the door uppers billows out like a parachute to the point you're sure it's just going to blow off. But a little bending here and there and they can be made to fit quite well. At this point, though there is still some air coming in from the hinges, I can say I have them fitting pretty much perfect. They still make a good deal of noise from the wind but it doesn't bother me unless I am trying to make a cell call.
I'd have to say that given the convenience and portability they are a good option and once I have the mirrors sorted out, I'll be quite happy!!

I'm thinking about getting these for 4 door so I can drive to the beach which is about an hour away first thing in the morning and keep the heat in while on the way there and then throw them in the back when I get there and it warms up. Will these keep the jeep warm with the top up and doors on. Also will they fit in the back of a jku.
