I really wanted to get the full doors and hard top for my new Jeep. Figured I could pick up a TrekTop or something like that cheaper than buying a hard top.

Then I rode in a Jeep with half doors and the top folded back. I bought the first (only) half door Jeep I could find (and one of the few with a 6-speed).

I dig it.

 

X2 - Also had to consider the theft Issue.

 

I like no doors but if I have to use doors i wish i had half doors

 

I ordered my JK in Jan 07. Several things would guarantee you a very long wait for your order, half doors being one of them (so was Rubicon, MyGig, rear locker on X). So, I ordered full doors.

I was down at the local dealer a couple weeks ago and they had one of about two dozen JKs with half doors. And it was 2WD. What a waste.

Personally, I think half doors look really cool with the top off/safari top. However, with the full top on and the windows, it's pretty gacky. Which, I guess, is a great excuse to run most of the time without the windows.

 

Like allot of people said. I like the halfdoors but untill i can get them cheaper im happy running doorless.

 

Since I had to special order mine anyways, I went ahead and checked the half door box, then I accidently checked the mygig box also. Since I am overseas using dip sales, I still got it cheaper than MSRP, but more than what I could have done with a dealer and some inventory on the lot. I don't regret it for a second though, I love my half doors.

 

I've seen about 4-5 different half door unlimited's in the past 2 months in SC. I think they're more prevalant in the warmer climates.

 

The theft issue is not vehicle contents ... it's the HALF DOORS themselves that are a possible target of theft. Due to the rarity and cost of half-doors I do worry about them getting stolen.

 

I'd love to have a set of half doors for summer, but they are too $$$ for me.

I had to go the practical way with full doors, 'cause who wants to drive in a -40 winter with half doors?

 

The whole theft thing is kinda a wash. If you leave something in plain site in any car someone wants they are gonna take it. Your best bet to avoid getting crap stolen out of any vehicle is to just not have stuff visable that would be worth steeling.

As far as soft doors, top etc. If you bought your jeep to rock it full doors and hard top for "security reasons" you traded the rare possiblity of having a jacket stolen for the 100% possibility of loving your Jeep that much more

P.S. You'll never see my Jeep locked because I'd rather them open the door than knife the top or soft doors to get to w/e they think they're gonna get. And if they are stealing the car in general... they will just break a window on hardtops/fulldoors.
