I drove 10 hours yesterday to get some half doors, here’s why...
- Thread starter Vtx531
- Start date
I just bought new flares for my twin sons rig. At $125 it’s worth it over doing it right and paying $75 for the supplies. I think Chris used 8 cans of SEM, which well exceeds $125.
OP
I
know I just used the new sem with the adhesion promotion built in on some rubicon fronts and hardly used any of it?he must of done the insides too
I want half doors so bad, but I can’t pull the plug on them because my wife is anti- half door lol. I am going to eventually just get some jcroffroads I believe. I will Have to drug here when I swipe the card online lol
Just run a half door on the drivers side and full door on the passenger
Lol she likes half doors, but not for the price. She is of the camp, doors or no doors lol. She knows eventually I will buy some and piss her off. She just let me overhaul the suspension so I need to wait a bit longer
OP
Half doors is probably one of my favorite things on the Jeep, so long as it is just driving around town in nice weather. I would not be a fan of half doors for freeway commuting.
I like the look of half doors with the top on too...

My wife didn't care about the cost of half doors. However, when I tried to drive with my teenage daughters in a door-less Jeep the wife acted like I offered them Don Julio tequila shots.
Funny how that works isn’t it? My wife doesn’t care if the entire crew is in there with no top and no doors ironically
My wife likes driving with no doors at all, but on the interstate I think the wind noise/buffeting is annoying as all get out. With the half doors on it seems like you just have the window rolled down.
And it looks so solid with the half doors on there.
I bought white doors and ended up having to scrap the driver side shell. Replaced it with a Key Parts shell and the quality of the steel door is top notch. Once painted and assembled you can't tell which is the OEM.
The interior panels were scuffed and had some rubberized coating the PO had globbed on it. Once that was all cleaned up I followed the prep instructions and used the LVP with the adhesion primer. Doors look brand new.
Tons of time, tons of $$ — all completely worth it.

My drivers half door panel is pretty messed up. I did not know anyone sold shells. I will look into that!
Half doors wouldn’t be special if everyone could build them, but it amazes me they don’t sell the parts. It seems like they sell just about everything else!
