What are door surrounds

[ReelFishBoss]

Are they basically upper frames for the factory half door?
Will I need door surrounds for my half doors if I find/add the fiberglass upper with the slider windows?

Trying to come up with my best configuration, considering I have the 98 sport tj with a hartop and half doors.

Thanks in advance!

I don’t think you need dirt surrounds at all if you are running a hard top as it’s sort of built in.

Yes you do need them with the soft top.
You need to remove them when you swap back the hard top.
Door surround will be needed to clip the soft top's side velcro.

So the answer is, it is a frame for the half doors and when the soft top is on?
So are the surrounds an alternative to the wire frames for the half doors?

What do you mean by wire frame?

The door style does not matter. The door surrounds are part of the soft top system.

Like these....
The ones I currently have, and came with my rig.

In summary the door surrounds in your photo are only needed for a soft top. Hard tops have the door surround built into them.

Thank you all for the replies!

Little confusing re: all the options for tops,doors, surrounds, etc.

Duh. I forgot all about that I threw mine away from the get go, looks like a redneck cloth hanger and never used them. Just using the half door and open window. I also did not like the sliding window for it feels like a "Gypsy" wannabe window.

Noisey as crap too!
Driving it home for the first time is hopefully to only time I will ever use them.
I want the fg sliders for my halfdoors... probably my cheapest route to get something close to full doors!
