Pics with tube doors -- post yours

[Jobofly]

Hey guys I finally got all 4 doors off and I freaking love it. My kids have a blast in it but my wife is not a fan. She said she will feel better with tube doors. Can you share some photos of your gladiators with tube doors?

Picked up these used Rugged Ridge Fortis Tube Doors. Been very happy with them, as the were used I didn't have to monkey around with the adjustment much. Rugged Ridge had updated the bump stops and was still nice enough to send me replacements at no charge.

Don't have any personally (as of yet) but hands down Warn makes the best looking tube doors with their Elite's in my opinion. Too bad they're discontinued or something. Can't find them anywhere now.

Mopar ones are a running up.

You can find pics of both everywhere.

is there a way to mount the factory door mirrors?

Not with mine. I've got a mopar doors-off mirror kit. They use the top hinge on the fronts. There are plenty of other mirror options if you want front tubes.

I got cheap aftermarket JK style for mine.

The factory door mirrors don’t come off of the factory doors.
You can get a lot of sets of tube doors with mirrors, though. If you do get a set without, there are kart mirrors that go into the cowl bolt holes on the front. They are about $8.00 per set from auto zone. The only thing to keep in mind is that they come with a jam nut- a nut that holds them tight against the threading of the cowl hole, and you have to put a little effort into these to tighten them enough that the mirrors stay properly positioned when you are going fast.

I was having trouble with it the first time I put them on and some 80 year old guy walked over, kind of rolled his eyes, took out a leatherman tool, and cranked that little jam nut. They didn’t move after that.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have one more noob question. Is it necessary when putting the dots back on to install the hinge bolts?

You don't have to, but generally speaking the doors align better if you do. Plus it's a bit more secure from quick theft. For a weekend I would consider not bothering but I've had my doors on since April and have the bolts in.
