Okay, I have to chime in here. I know for a fact that I work with OR Fab. I also happen to work and live in Northern Arizona & last time I checked Arizona was in the USA. So I'm gonna go out on a limb and say rancho isn't the only door "made in the USA". The only part of our doors that are not made in America are the canvas part. Heck, our latches are even sourced from a company that manufactures them in the states. I'd be curious as to where the rancho ones are made.

Our doors are very sturdy. The main tube is 1.25 x .095. They're made from one continuous bend done on a CNC bender in house about 100 yards from where I'm sitting right now.

Oh and we're a sponsor of this forum if that makes any difference. LOL

Okay, commercial over :p ... Continue on...

Okay okay... and just cause I'm kinda know as a sarcastic smartass around this company I had to make this really quick!!!

I gotta tell ya, I did some looking. As far as I can tell Warrior products are made in the USA too. I can't find anything to contrary. I like their look. and instead of mesh they have a more "solid," fabric/ padding available with an interior pocket. The pads look a lot like OR-Fab's do. OR-Fab doors definately has a really different look than the others. I have seen a four door picture in the forum with them on too...very nice. Being a sponsor does mean something to most of us on here. Good luck with your decision.

I just bought the Warrior fronts. I have yet to install them but them are very well made. I use the Warrior mirror brackets when I take the doors off so I would need to mount the factory mirrors to the tube doors. I do like the enclosures for the Bestops and they are what I originally ordered. The eternal back order is why I decided against them and I dont care for the look of the Orr Fab fronts.

I agree with the amphibian, the look is similar to Rancho! There are enclosures available as well for those that want them. Yeah, no mesh but you get gear pockets and lots of them..... but
TOAD I'm gonna step on your lily pad a moment and inform you that they do not come with the mirrors, it says they easily accept the OEM mirrors. As they become available I will be a proud owner.
