I spoke with the Wrangler brand manager at Jeep. He confirmed that half doors are coming for the JL but it'll probably be late this year with the next model year.

+1 for half doors. It's a great compromise between doorless and full door. A little more safety/security w/o much of a downside.

Bring'em, FCA!

I had planned to keep my truck at least a couple years before trading it in....now you’re telling me I’ve got a few months left with this one?

That's in the Wrangler. You can just buy the doors separate

No idea when or if they will hit the JT.
They have different line managers now.

I loved half-doors. It would be great to get some for the JT instead of tube doors!

Is this for real? How come it isn’t all over the news? Not one news article. But greatly appreciate the news.

Good question if it will also apply to the Gladiator?

Love the look of half doors. Too bad they weren’t on the option sheet when I bought. A lot easier to swallow the price when financing a new vehicle.

I emailed Bestop about the element tubes doors for JL/JT and they said they have plans for enclosures and soft windows like they have for JKs. This might be the route I go. I don’t mind tube doors but like to cut down on the water coming in when it rains.

Did they give a date when those will be available?

Short of a factory option my choice would be the Bestop Core doors which are offered for the JK. Like how they can be configured with our without the center panel and also have the option of soft uppers.
Of course when you add up the price of a 4 door kit with the center panels and upper doors you are approaching factory door territory.
