Bestop 2-Piece Full Fabric Doors, Front JL SKU: 5175017

[WhiteJT8541]

Here are the doors and mirrors installed. Passenger side mirror is useless. May have to figure another mounting location. There are a few gaps but overall pretty good fit. Can still tweak a little.

Just received mine today. Ended up going with the Bestop instead of the JCR off more careful consideration.
I will get them installed tomorrow with my Lange original MJL-800 mirrors and post pics.

exact setup I am considering. My mirrors were delivered this morning. Still negotiating with the wife on the door purchase. She keep talking crazy about the new house we just bought a month ago and the renovation we are doing.

I understand the feeling. We, by we I mean I am, in the process of finishing our basement. Time to by flooring for it and it’s not cheap.

Her parents moved into our basement and we are adding a kitchen and second bath downstairs. Quote was $50k and we know it will go over.

Hmm I have the Lange mirrors and will probably get the doors soon. Think I will need to lengthen them, or bend them in A bit or both?

yeah we were quoted $48k. I’m about $7k into it doing it myself. Had most of the tools already.

Thanks for the pics! Looks good.
Sucks the passenger mirror don't work out cause there's not that many options for that mirror/door setup, especially for decent quality and price. My doors are still back-ordered, called today

Still waiting for your opinion of how they are up on the highway. I know they’ll flap but do they leak?

I didn’t have them on the highway but on some back roads out to the range. At about 45-55mph they were flapping but that was mainly due to the uppers needing to be adjusted still. Bent all the uppers in towards the door frame and it reduced the flapping significantly. Can’t give you any info on leaking as it’s been dry here and I park in my garage. If that changes I’ll let you know.

Anyone old enough to remember the factory half doors with the fabric upper part? The lower metal half door would need to be adjusted yearly as it would sag and/or not hit the striker properly. The fabric upper was a leaker from day one. We usually added a bead of silicone or caulk to the hard top to seal or bent the top frame of the fabric window inwards.

There's probably a reason why they don't offer factory half doors anymore. Lol.

At 50 years old I remember when Jeeps didn’t even have hard doors yet. I want these soft doors to keep the Jeep, and the driver, dry in a pop up storm.

How long do these take to pop on and off if a storm comes along? Do they fold / roll up for storage or just throwing them in the back / bed?

I really like the idea of these, but wished their core doors were out already. As I wouldn’t mind have a more permanent door like the mopar tubes, but able to protect from a storm as need be.

Doesn't take long to get them back on. Really going to depend on how good you are at lining them up. I throw them in the back seat as I have the Line-X liner and do not want to scratch the plastic on the windows. Going to get a moving blanket to throw in the back and then I will toss the doors back there.

I can't believe we don't have a door caddy that fits in the bed yet - I'd much prefer that to soft doors, or even uppers, which in my lengthy jeep ownership experience are just awful.
