The UCF trail doors are done. Overall they're okay. The two major things I don't like are the Bestop latches and the fit of the uppers.
Because of the latches I would not recommend these doors!
I think you will like the way they look better once you put the flair back on. I have ended up about the same after going to the 3” Rock Jock springs in the rear because the OME’s weren’t allowing enough room for shock travel. I have 265/75R16 tires and the gap from the top of the tire to the bottom off the flair is 7 1/2”, my wife’s stock JLUR is 7 1/4”.

I did borrow some adapters and try on the JL wheels and tires 285/70R17 I like the way they look but would need to regear.

Do you see a clean way the inside could be ‘finished’. I know that really isn’t the intent of trail doors but I think would bother me.
I did a vinyl wrap on the inside of mine
Pics?
Decided last minute to add these. It would have been easier if I would have done it before putting everything back on the corner armor. You have to add another nutsert, just behind each door, which means I have to pull everything apart. This is a mockup, and yes I get the forum idiot prize for today!
That said, this is another simple, at least from the installation perspective, but brilliant product. It adds strength to the top of the tub and protects the soft top channel.

When we add those after the armor is installed, we just drill and tap the aluminum corner for 5/16-18. Hole is located perfectly that way if you feel like removing the armor later and installing a nutsert. Given that the armor has a screw into a nutsert right next to that hole, there is about a zero chance of dislocation for the end of the tub rail.

This Jeep has really transformed from when I 1st bought it as someone's throw away!

I installed the two long bolts in the second bolt position, front and rear. This allowed me to pull the rub rails down and keep the longer bolts from over the wheel wells, where someone might hit them.
