I lived with half doors/uppers for 6 years on my TJ and never minded any of the differences that full doors would have given me. The thought of someone taking a knife to the top crossed my mind but if there’s nothing to steal then it is what it is. I loved being able to have my top down and uppers in the back if it were to start raining.
To be fair, if you're going through a McDonald's drive-thru, they usually have an awning on the building or near the windows to keep you from getting wet
Just picked up a set of Rugged Ridge JK half doors for my 2dr. The guy also gave me two sets of uppers, an entire Bestop black diamond top with surrounds & hardware, some tail light guards, and took pics of our Jeeps together. All for $500. Whether I wind up liking them or not in the long term, the deal was way too good to pass up. The plastic doors don't seem so bad honestly, but I'm sure the Mopar half doors are nearly worth their price in quality comparatively... However the Rugged Ridge ones make me feel like I'm in a TJ (complete with ABS plastic & soft grab handles) and I love it.
I had both full and half doors for my JK. Ran hard top and full doors in winter. Half and soft in summer. I loved the half doors. Still had open air feel but with less of a go-cart like experience with doors off.
Had full doors on my yj, half doors on tj, and back to full doors on my jk and can confirm, used to get super wet on rainy days with half doors if I had the windows zipped down and started raining
Just about everything he said happens when you drive with a soft top.Also, getting rained on, if you haven't got ran on at least once are you actually jeeping?
Yup. When you were getting those nuggets I saw the water dripping in from that FRONT CORNER 😡 before you even unzipped the window. Triggered from that spot dripping. 😂
I agree: half doors are less than ideal. In my opinion they sharply and forcefully inhale gaseous posterior emissions. My reasonings are a little different: I run top and doorless more often than not, and when I do, it’s a softtop and soft doors. My wife doesn’t like the open doorway, so she likes her half doors. For me, it’s just more to lift off and try to store. My Jeep is my four wheel motorcycle. A friend of my daughter’s was in wife’s YJ and wound up locking the half door, with the soft upper installed; and proceeded to break the handle. I had to bend the heck outta the upper to get it off so I could get the door panel off and unjam the lock. (Used doors, we don’t have keys). I got it open and removed the lock actuator rod and replaced the door handle latch. All that hassle because of a goofy half door and a dumb teenage boy. Besides, they don’t allow airflow around my feet and legs and feel claustrophobic. Plus it’s a softtop and with top down, it’s just a mundane convertible with half doors…halfway committed to full topless Jeep enjoyment. Just huck the top and doors and get in the wind!!
Can't stand 'em! If I could have my '05 TJ Rocky Mtn 4.0L w/ the doors and top off all year long, I would! For me, it's all or nothing. There's nothing like beach wheelin' in an un-cocooned TJ for that great open air experience. 😎🏖🏝🌊 The only thing worse than half doors is a 4 door limo heep with a hard top cocooning its passengers. 🙄
@@frankcastle9691 lol no hurt feelings. Just not sure why you’d choose to watch a Jeep video from a channel named “a guy with a Jeep” if you don’t like jeeps. None the less thanks for the views and engagement! Boost the algorithm.
I thought about getting half doors, but then I rolled the windows down.

I love half doors, but it's the pricing that makes me hate them. Over here (Netherlands) you pay 1200 Euro's for a used set.

I have a CJ5. If you get normal doors, the window gets in the way, and the only way to open them is from the side.
I had both full and half doors for my JK. Ran hard top and full doors in winter. Half and soft in summer. I loved the half doors. Still had open air feel but with less of a go-cart like experience with doors off.
I just want a set for around town and wheelin’ because they look so much better. Plus the Jeep ain’t my daily so I don’t care about weather. lol!
I’ll never buy a full door tj! Half doors are amazing with or without top, it’s a jeep
Had full doors on my yj, half doors on tj, and back to full doors on my jk and can confirm, used to get super wet on rainy days with half doors if I had the windows zipped down and started raining

Half Doors are the Holy Grail of Jeep TJ's but they can cost on average $1500 complete... Ouch
Listen man. If you dont want em, I'll buy em. 😂 Great vid though. Very comprehensive.
Please keep a box of tissues next to you at all times, so when you start crying you can clean up
Love the dedication to getting soaked for the video.and for going broke in the process.but at least you got your nuggets even if there a little soggy.
100% soaked, 1000% broke 😂 no nuggets were harmed in the making of this video lol
Yup. When you were getting those nuggets I saw the water dripping in from that FRONT CORNER 😡 before you even unzipped the window. Triggered from that spot dripping. 😂
The worst 😂
They look great and open up the whole jeep. Yes it's noisy and you'll get wet.. but it's a jeep.
They'd still the doors. Those half door prices are crazy but your tape idea is good. Just make tape doors whenever you need a door.
Had half doors for my yj and they were awesome. But I only used them when topless and couldn’t be bothered with the upper
There great on a jeep jamboree. Wheeling at slow speeds, hard core, there awesome.
Even though if you have full doors a full windows you’re still gonna get wet when you pull up to McDonald’s right
Even though if you have full doors and full windows you still gotta lower your window to grab you McDonald’s it’s still gonng to get wet
1 and 2 can be solved by getting glass tops.
3. McDonald's is disgusting!!!!
And again glass tops can help with fresh nugs...
Button line half doors look awesome..not practical but cool. Strippers look amazing....practical no..but cool
Lol pretty convincing argument

If you don't keep them, I want them.
Your Jeep look great !

Half doors are for so you can’t see my fat ass spilling out of the Jeep when I have the top off. Not to use as real doors.
U sold them?
Yeah long gone
You just bought half doors and now you’re broke 😂
I loved you being a robber 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was made to play that role
Had me laughing 😂
Lmfao you just bought half doors now you’re poor !
Jeeps in general are terrable.
So is your spelling
@aguywithajeep oh ya the auto correct was wrong. Sorry the facts about jeeps hurt your feelings.

@aguywithajeep because I have a jeep and it's the worst new vehicle I've ever owned.
Well explained thank you 👍
This is great hahah 😂😝😂😝
5:05 Man, that's commitment
