Yeah, I get ya..... Those are definitely versatile as hell, but I just want to keep it simple here. Like I said, I just like the look of the tubes, nothing else.

I'm voting Rancho. I've had my eye on these for a while, they look great and take the factory mirrors.

I gotcha ;-), but in my case in need to have both options because it rains here regulary and most of the trails here are muddy and I'm not a fan of mud being flung into my face. Don't get me wrong. The tube doors are sweet, but can be a inconvenince depending on the situation (cold weather, mud, rain)and swaping doors can be a real PITA. To be able to convert my tubies with out removing them IMO is a convenience I'm willing to pay for and say bye bye to heavy factory full doors.

Those are nice too.... I don't like the curve on the Or-Fabs..... The Warriors kick ass though.... But, I figured the Warrior and the Ranchos are pretty close, so I went with the Ranchos, they look a little meaner.... I like the Ranchos because they're mean looking, and the Olympics because of their simplicity. Total opposites, but both nice. Different ends of the price spectrum too.

Oh, I gotcha there. In the summer here we can go for a month without rain, so doors off or tubes would be ideal. The reason I threw the Olympic Safaris in there is because they're a lot cheaper than the rest, and since I'd only be using them for roughly four months out of the year, it would seem like a good buy.

Ohhhh...I see said the blind man. Once a year door swap. Here in PR it's warm year round and we have a rainy season in the summer(rains more than usual) that's about it, so I'd keep the tubes on always and use the covers when necessary almost on the fly.

In your case I would go with Rancho.

Looks like Rancho is winning by a landslide.
