Did they give a date when those will be available?
Unfortunately they didn’t give a date. I recommend Emailing them to let them know there is a market.

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.

I definitely prefer the smooth look of half doors like the factory or the element ones but different strokes, for different folks.

Those are my goal, but as of now no plans but they are rumoring a kickstarter for it. I just don't want to wast a summer for a product that might not happen.

Bestop recently said not to expect Core doors anytime soon...unless they go thru with some sort of kickstarter..which i am doubtful of for many reasons.

What would it take to have this Kickstarter get off the ground?

A $200 down-payment would total be reasonable. I'm going to Email them! I will want these on my Mojave JT

kickstarters are usually the full price with some kind of incentive. expect closer to 3k for the kickstarter

I would buy this factory 1/2 door for my JT! Come on Jeep, make some half doors for the JT/JL!
Cheers

Any forum discount? probably better to break up the cost a bit over time. Please make the enclosures and fabric uppers !! Seems like between the JL and JT you’ll have pretty big market.
Sending you a PM. As for the enclosures and uppers that will likely happen but I'm not aware of any time information for these right now.

My cousin and I are contemplating building half doors from salvaged doors. We are thinking of removing the interior trim and window, chopping the upper portion, and repositioning the mid structural support.

Hinges and locks would all line up.

Would probably be somewhat pricey as JL/U/T salvage door seem expensive.

Would like to see your results. Have you seen the DCD Customs Half Door chop? They turned out really nice.
