I recently purchased 4 Body Armor doors for my Gladiator.

I know from experience that my old JKU Barricade brand tube doors don't latch on rear, but do on the front, on my Gladiator. The rear doors of JLUs & JTs are just different than the JKUs.

Fast forward to my Body Armor doors arriving today... (I'm at work & have not opened)
The box for the rear doors says JL-6155.
The box for the front door says JK-6154

Anyone here know if they sent me the wrong front doors (hoping I don't mind the fit), or are the Body Armor JK & JLU/JT tube doors actually the same thing?

Confirmed the JKU front doors by Body Armor 4x4 are NOT the same as their JLU doors. They are not even an acceptable substitute.

As expected, they slide into the hinges just fine... but that's pretty much where the compatibility ends. As you can see in the pic, the body lines do not match, plus they were not able to latch. It was not close enough to "adjust its way to latch‐ability"

See pics.

Received word that Fed Ex will be delivering the correct front Body Armor 4x4 front doors Wednesday.

I'll be sure to post installation pics asap.

Just found this post. Gray Matter is a great name. Work in cybersecurity?
Nope. Just a way of admitting that part of my brain cells are always thinking about that Jeep & Jeep adventures.
