its just an issue for storage for me. Where am i gonna put these things where they wont rust i dont have a garage?

I REALLY like those donut doors. However if they could somehow make it so you can "fill in" the donut with a removable piece to make it a whole door i would buy one in an instant.

Never had tube doors so going to try them out since weather is always good for them in FL.

I assume they are desired for off road so you can lean on them when going over stuff at angles.

My wife just messaged me "to save money we can wait on the tube doors"

I feel aftermarket won't be as good and $850 doesn't seem bad for a genuine, warrantied, OEM product.

They are kind of cool but I don't think I'd use them enough to warrant buying them. Like am I really going to take the doors off to put different doors on to possibly have to take them off again in a day or two and put the regular doors back on

I’m getting them for my 2 door. Decent price compared to aftermarket and they’re crash rated.
Pennsylvania is technically illegal to drive without doors but has the best off roading around me.

Wait for the aftermarket, I think they'll rise to the challenge! If you don't like their offerings, order OEM.

Looks better on the 2 door. It's an extra cosmetic item and not necessary, so I'm holding off on rolling that into the loan

Donut doors with an insert for when the window is up and its it raining, and having that windows crank to lower into the hole would be awesome!

More protection than no door but you could still get stabbed by an errant tree branch or similar. I think I will just stick with either doors or no doors and wonder if I will ever go no doors.

i thought about that but how would you attach the donut hole to the donut without blocking the path for the window to travel? I always though it would be secured with some sort of naval style bulkhead twist

otherwise its a perfect product idea.

Tube doors don’t fall into my “yes” bucket.

I will certainly take the doors off from time to time, but I suspect that will be mostly tarmac or mellow FS road adventures. On more rugged trials or overnight trips I’ll need the doors & windows to keep all the branches from assaulting my girls. Many of the trials around here are pretty narrow. Plus the dog likes to sleep in the truck so I need the doors & windows.

After my shower...
Yeah, we won't be doing any *true* offroading so if it's a nice day, we're taking the doors entirely off.
