Make your own. I just started on mine. Started with PVC to get measurements right.
Plan on making them out of 1 1/4" square tubing.
Sheet metal where the paper is for mounting hinges and using the side clickers off a tailgate I found in the junkyard. It sounds good lets just hope it gets done by spring.

Here you go...



Here is WOL's RockGear Tubes

Bamoman

they are very stout and have adjustments on the lockin mech and the door hinges...they have a zipper pouch on the inside of the mesh part....The arm rest in comfortable...Once you get the latch aligned, it stays aligned....becuz there is nothing to stopp the door from swinging all the way out and bouncing of your fender, the padding on the door touches the fender so unlikely to stratch the paint on the fender...the only thing i would have liked to see is black bolts to match the door. i would have liked to see the bolts on the hinges blacked out or at least the option to get them when you ordered the door...i spend alot of time at the beach and the first thing to rust was the bolts i will be replacing those bolts before i put these doors on the new jeep

Reason I started this thread was exactly for this, thanks. Now, I also want to hear "picky" things too like, how comfortable is it gonna be to rest your arm on a bar as supposed to a sill of a full door for a long time? I know, stupid...but that's the stupid stuff I'm looking to read about...

So, why not replace with stainless and just paint em? Or are they welded on?

Yeah, I am glad you posted this as well. I really like the look of the RockGear tubes because they start high at the mirror and drop down lower and do the opposite on the rear door.

Keep posting pics guys so we can see all the differences!!

Bamoman

no not welded on...just need to take them off and figure out what size they are and order them somewhere online....ill take some pics and post in a sec

Have 2 sets.

Bestop element with the bags, painted inserts and uppers and a set of Body Aarmor.

Element;
Got these so I could switch between the tube, insert and full. Nice in theory but the paddle handles make that a royal pain. These can be lifted off the Jepp unless you take steps to prevent that. Fit is lacking both on the lower and upper. Uppers leak badly. Welds are not that great.

Body Aarmor;
Suiside look with no exterior handle. Solid, with nice welds. Have a screw pin so you could use a Tuffy or similar lock to prevent lifting off.

Only images I have are being preped for speed gusset painting

Like em both but if I had to pick one over the other it would be the body armor.

I may also look into ones that don't require OEM mirror spots because I have the relocation brackets so they're just gonna stay there. I see the body armor doesn't have the mirrors which is good. The rancho's do, right?

No real reason. Just doing some ball busting I suppose lol. I was looking at a couple sets myself, until I realized how much people charge for some bent steel welded together. I'm currently making my own, just need to engineer some hinges and latches. I will throw up some pics when they're done hopefully in a couple weeks.
