I didnt think you could buy them from the dealer? or are they offering them as a purchasable part now?

They are offering them, I have asked about them at my dealer. The down side is that they come primed only and you have to get then painted.

So, in addition to the cost of the doors, which I think was around $5k for all 4, you have to pay to get them painted. I'd keep an eye on the local junk yards, you may get lucky

I don't mind the zipping at all. Like PD said, its generally either in or out with them for me too. The one gripe I have (and this may have to do with being new to JK half doors) is that you have to open the door to slide the window down. It won't clear the dash. Like I said minor gripe. I think I didn't have to do that with the TJ ones but I could be wrong it was a long time ago. The YJ ones are sloped. I know they don't have that issue. CJ didn't have a problem either.

I really appreciate the fact you took pictures for my forum post. Thanks again saltman, you've convinced me I really want half doors (whether its a junkyard find, or on the JK I buy)

If you havn't bought a jeep with them yet, I'd definately hold out and try and find one that has them. It'll be much cheaper in the long run. I wish I would have gotten them, now I'm stuck with the full ones.

Thats definitely what I've heard. Since I haven't bought a JK yet, I wanted to get some opinions. Thanks guys!

myklt8: Awesome looking JK! I like the 4dr JK with half doors... looks sweet
