half door package?
Guys:
"Why does Jeep not sell a reasonably priced half door package?"
I assume that I am not the only guy out there that bought an Unlimited with full doors/hardtop for the practicality but love the feel and look of the half doors for summer- at the end of the day we bought a Jeep and not a Suzuki!
Currently the only option is to get a $7k build up from individual parts, which makes no sense. I assume that there must be a real market for a Jeep package- which they should be able to produce at a fraction of the above given that they already build them as a spec.

Thanks
I was half hoping that someone out there had got a better answer to the problem than I had.
I am going to get these doors - as with these is how I always wanted my jeep to be

Dealer
I just ordered my jeep, and had the dilema of getting full or half. I wanted half on 70% of the year as it is warm in Texas. But I didn't feel I needed them in the Winter so wanted full the remaining part of the year.
I contacted the dealer, and they priced a half door set for like 2k, painted and all. I didn't even want to spend that much on them so I just ordered the half set standard.
I may start to check junk yards to see if there are any full doors?
