I'm trying to decide on which tubular doors to purchase for a 2008 JK. My family would prefer SOME semblance of a door in summer so this is a happy medium. Looking at all of the manufacturers(Rancho/Highrock/Warrior/Bestop/OR-Fab/others?) have left me thinking looks play a big role in the choice (I am leaning toward Rancho in that respect).
Are there any issues in regards to rattling or other issues with these doors? I see some can attach the OEM mirrors, some don't. Anyone with any experience with these doors please let me know your opinions. Or if anyone wants to just shoot out a random opinion without any prior ownership, that's fine too, LOL. i couldn't be any more confused than I am now.
Thanx in advance.

Been there, done that. LOL. I ultimately decided on the OR Fab. I went through so much that I can't even begin to justify why I made that decision. Some of it was based on other's comments about rust/corrosion. There are a variety of adjustments to the OR-Fab that make them fit very nicely without rattles. Of course, running around with jerry cans I have tons of rattles, so it's not much of an issue with me, but they were quiet before I got the new rear bumper. Here are a couple pic's ...

I bought my JK back in early 07 and there weren't any tube doors available at that time.
Warrior came out first, I think and so I bought em.
They don't have any place to mount any mirrors, so that sucks. I like the Rancho's placement.
They do rattle. That sucks too. Not too much.
No rust.
I just like the look better than no doors at all. And they were available at the time!
