No, sliders were never a factory option. The Rubicon came with factory rocker guards which are by no means sliders, but as close as you could get from the factory.
Was half doors an option?

Oh! I don't think that was an option. The slider Windows for half doors is an aftermarket upgrade from what I've seen.

This from the '05 Brochure...
agreed there are regional marketing plans but half doors were an "option" on the TJ.
cannot believe half doors are an option on the newest JK too... you can sub half doors for full doors... same price. no credit.

I've never seen a JK with half doors in my life... I didn't know such a think existed on them!

"Not available with Hardtop or Dual-Top Group".
Not an option on the Unlimited either.
I sure remember the clamor for full doors early on. Seems half doors are much more rare now.

I don't get half doors and the only reason why I don't get them is because I see it in black and white. If I have my top off then I have my doors off. If I have my top on, then I want my full doors on.
There's no in between for me personally.

Open top and extreme water is one instance.
Soft is good because you are open during the 65 degree desert day and then closed for the 42 degree desert evening.

strangle almost all of the wranglers over here were spec'ed with 3.07 Dana 44 axles. is the 3.07 a mileage thing ?Dealers order the configurations they figure will sell best in their area... though some are clueless and don't really understand the pluses and minuses of the various options available to them. Some didn't even understand the benefit to the Dana 44 option so virtually all of the Jeeps on their lots only had Dana 35 axles.
I used to have 6-8 Jeep dealerships as customers and some mostly ordered 3.07 axle ratios and some mostly ordered 3.73 ratios. It took me a while to get the ones who ordered 3.07 to stop doing that and order 3.73 since we were installing 2-3" suspension lifts with bigger tires for them.

most wranglers are manual in the uk ... well we all learn to drive manual here, its usually woman and old people who purchase auto's
Most of us grew up driving manuals here as well (myself included), except for the newer generations which don't typically learn on manuals anymore.
Of course, I like my auto for the off-roading, it makes it easier for me to get over obstacles with one less thing to worry about. However, I like a manual better if it's a fast car (of course).

TJ's do have a pretty heavy clutch. I have only see one TJ with Half Doors around here but there are probably only 6 Wranglers that i have seen locally.
