Meh. The tube doors aesthetically don't fit for me. That and I would never use them. I am an all or nothing kind of guy. I followed the fad with my FJ40 and made a set of factory half doors and ran the once. I can find better uses for that cash.

They're actually really nice and glad I was able to see them in person. Not sure at this time I will get them but if I decide to I'll use my FordPass points towards them. Plus I want to see what aftermarket will have out.

Ditto for taking the doors off.

I love the idea of tube doors and my wife was always scared doorless in my cj7. However they always seem expensive to me, they are about the same price as a nice tube bender. Add a few hundred for steel and latches (maui prices)and I will be better off just fabbing some up. I actually think with the Broncos looks that a fairly simple slab sided looking door would be cool to without all the bends. I already got a tube notcher.

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.
A buddy of mine has tube doors for his jeep and lives in a condo. When not in use he has them leaning against the back wall of his clothes closet, completely out of sight and out of the way until he needs them again. They are much easier to manhandle than a regular factory door.

I like the look of them and the added safety while I am out 4 wheeling on the dunes of Michigan.

Personally I’m ordering a set on day one for my FE Bronco. They add to the open air feel while providing an extra level of safety.

I'm in Colorado and will have the top and doors off most of the year (spring, summer, fall). The tube doors look great on the 2-door and will be perfect for what I'm using the Bronco for.

Waste if money.
Get the doors off or keep the doors.

I might skip the doors and go with a better seatbelt/harness. Though those are a PITA to routinely get in and out of. Like running errands around town, making 5 stops bla bla bla!

Definitely a wait and see product. I've never owned a Wrangler so I have no experience driving without doors. I'll see if I really prefer something to lean on or not and then see what they have. I figure they can always be bought directly from Ford, if I really want THOSE. No need for a professional installation.

I would never get them. Especially if I was riving on dunes or dusty roads. I would have to spend hours cleaning and vacuuming the interior every time I go out. And the constant removing doors, putting those on, storing doors, taking them off and putting doors back on. Just for a little open air. F-dat. Roll the windows down and remove the top or freedom panels.

As little as I would use them I’m going to wait for aftermarket and see what they offer
