Like the half doors.
Thanks!
They look good
Thanks. I’m loving them! #JTRSPARTACUS
Cool they look nice
Thanks for the video. Like Ed Murphy (below), I got the fabric doors for my JT and they fit so bad, I thought they mistakenly sent me JK doors. Nope. I just wanted something to toss in the bed in the event it rains and I’m too far from the house. These may fit the bill.
These uppers took some bending/adjustments to fit my Jeep and extra Velcro helped make waterproof but once you have them set they work pretty well. Thanks for watching! #JTRSPARTACUS

Is there an E-coat finish on it or just a primer coat?
And isn't that saying about the weather kind of universally true worldwide?
I dunno - seems like textured paint.
@@DerrickOil no……
I purchased their fabric doors for my 21 JTR, but the fit was terrible. In fact the rears wouldn't engage the lock at all (could not be used for the rear doors). The fronts had so many gaps around the door and I can see these suffer from the same issue. I ultimately returned all 4 doors because the fit and finish was sub par at best.
That stinks. I considered the fabric doors. I got these perfect now. Been through some serous rain with no water inside. They do take some fiddling with to get them right. I think bending the individual legs on the uppers is the way to go. The bottom tube doors/enclosures were easy to adjust for the striker and fit well. The fabric uppers took some effort. Thanks for watching. If you consider these, hit me up with any questions or if you need to see something #JTRSPARTACUS
The doors look great
Thanks!! I’m digging the look. Just wish the panels came off quickly for the tube door look too. Might be a future mod. #JTRSPARTACUS
Stupid question, there is no reason this wouldn't work with a 2022 Gladiator?
Not a stupid question. Will work on all Gladiators (JT) 2020 and newer and all JL Wranglers 2018 and newer. This is definitely a cool upgrade! I ran them until it was too cold in PA. I like to run them on trails too since doors are very expensive and if I dent one of these I can fix it. Good 👍 luck and thanks for watching and commenting.

Are you able to remove the enclosure plates on the doors without taking doors off the jeep?
Probably not. It’s fairly invoked to remove the panels. They are bolted under the mirror. I think I’m going to mod them to be quick release and separate from the mirrors. Thanks for watching! #JTRSPARTACUS
Do you think these seal better then the fabric doors? I had fabric fronts for my jk and it was mandatory to take the carpet out. With the JT I have this weird hang up about removing the carpet for some reason. I’d hate to go the element route with the higher expense only to have the same kind of leakage. I ran the fabric doors on the jk from may to October, with them off and in the back whenever possible
I don’t know anything about the fabric doors but I added some extra Velcro and I installed the seals provided by Bestop without trimming ( they hang out a little) and bent the fabric uppers in real well and I’ve had only very slight rain in them. When I went through a touch less car wash I only got a few drips. It takes sine work to get them adjusted right but they work pretty well. Good luck ! # JTRSPARTACUS
@@JTRSpartacus My hope was the stiffer lower of the element doors would give a better foundation for the uppers than the fabric doors, and that might enhance sealing. I know the element doors will be harder to chuck in the back than the fabric (i'll run mirrors on body vs on the doors), but if the sealing is better, I think I can live with it. Id plan on only changing out the fronts.
Seems sound. The bottoms are relatively easy to seal up. The tops took some bending /adjustment, extra Velcro and trial and error.
Did they keep rain out ?
Yup. I used some extra Velcro on the weatherstripping ua-cam.com/video/kDQuI83Jfbg/v-deo.htmlsi=kPOtrrfiECRDr7Fb

Can I get them in Torch Red?
They come in black. You’ll need to paint or wrap to match. Got it d luck. #JTRSPARTACUS
How is the wind noise
There is no insulation so they are pretty noisy compared to stock full doors. These are more about open air fun and then being able to close up quickly when it rains. I also love that I worry less about messing up my doors off road. Thanks for watching! #JTRSPARTACUS
Any links for the doors and windows??🙏
It’s a modular system from @bestop I don’t get any commission or anything. I got the tube doors on clearance sale - I forget how much I paid but they were cheap. Then I added the panels and the fabric upper/windows and for a discount from Bestop. www.bestop.com/products/highrock-4x4-element-doors-jeep-2020-2022-gladiator-2018-2022-wrangler-jl-matte-black-4-door/ #JTRSPARTACUS
