Just wondering, because I never thought about it, but why are the non-OEM hinges a no-go? Is it due to having to figure out the pattern or something to add mirrors?
A lot of people like the OEM style hinges because they have a cleaner look, and more importantly, they are easy to drill out to accept factory style mirrors.Just wondering, because I never thought about it, but why are the non-OEM hinges a no-go? Is it due to having to figure out the pattern or something to add mirrors?
I agree, I like my JCR's so much that I am going to get the Bestop uppers; just so I can keep them on for another month or 2 out of the year.I have to admit I think they all look really good, but being able to work with different uppers, is kind of important for what I'm planning/assuming.
If I had found this thread before I ordered I probably would have gone that route. Are those the ones that slide open? or are they just similar to all the other uppers?I agree, I like my JCR's so much that I am going to get the Bestop uppers; just so I can keep them on for another month or 2 out of the year.
The bestop uppers that are $440? Or have you found them for a better price?I agree, I like my JCR's so much that I am going to get the Bestop uppers; just so I can keep them on for another month or 2 out of the year.
I am looking into the normal soft uppers.If I had found this thread before I ordered I probably would have gone that route. Are those the ones that slide open? or are they just similar to all the other uppers?
Yes, those are the ones.The bestop uppers that are $440? Or have you found them for a better price?
I really have to get something going with my half doors. They dont match and the quotes I have received to paint to match have been more than I would pay for aluminum doors and bestop uppers.
Oh those aren't what I was thinking of. I've seen a sliding upper that looked nice, but with trail doors, I don't quite understand having a good seal or anything because I thought they weren't going to seal in pretty much anyway, just something to knock off most of the rain and keep honest people honest.
There is a version with a sliding window for about $630.Oh those aren't what I was thinking of.

Do you have a picture of the inside of the Savvy doors? I’m curious to see how the forward latch system works.Just a note on this. They offer factory hinges they will ship you with them. But the doors will not be drilled for the hinges. They will come with the holes for the smaller hinges and you will have to try and line up and drill them yourself.
I like my Savvy trail doors a lot. But if you are really concerned about OEM hinges. I would not get them.

In regards to people talking half vs full doors. My new OEM half doors are the best thing since Sliced Bread.

3/8" nylon air tubing. Don't forget to remove it when the other doors go back on.Nope they work perfect, close solid and work very nice, Blaine gave me a little piece of rubber tubing to go over the latch and with that they don’t make a noise.
hey was that a one time JCR code? or are you able to share? I'd be interested in getting some half doors too and this thread was great.JCR: $ 439. I have a 10% off code, no tax, free shipping
Pros- Will accept Bestop soft uppers with no modifications or add-ons
-Factory looking hinges, will accept factory mirror by simply redrilling holes
-Least expensive option
Cons- Have to reach back to unlatch the door, unlike the Savvy
