favorite Tube doors

i have both the rancho and or-fab tube doors. both are nice and look great but if i had to choose, i would go with the rancho as they accomodate your factory mirrors with ease and are easier to operate.
here's a shot of the or-fab doors. i didn't like the mirror option they had and so i tried fashioning my own - it worked just okay...

you know, you probably could. still have the tube doors... maybe i'll have to give that a try once we get rubicat caged up.

Yes I would buy them again. They now come with a bracket for your stock mirror. I will have to dig up a pic.

they are sound and i actually like them alot. i especially like the fact that you can get skins for them making them into half doors.

I found my doors are kinda rattlely. It appears the part of the latch mechanism travels to far upward that allows movement of doors.
Here I did a temporary fix using a few of the shipping parts that come with the doors and have a few ideas to improve it.

Thanks for starting this thread. I ordered the Olympic Safari doors, because they were cheap (around $320 shipped for 4), but just canceled the order because it had already been a month and I did not have them yet. I just came across these Smitybilts, and I think I'm going to go with them now. They told me mid-June before they ship and they are about $500 for 4 of them. Glad to see a positive review out here for them.
My doors have been off since the week before Memorial Day and I plan to leave it that way til Labor Day at least.

I just got my Body Armor 4x4 Front Trail Doors in the mail yesterday as the snow storm hit us here in NJ just opened the box didnt take them out yet but they are very heavy I went with these over the bestop doors because i had the bestop doors on my tj and loved them but the set for the jk didnt look right to me
@snowpro I had the rattle with my TJ as well with the bestop doors best way to fix it put a lil bit of electrical tape on the loop where the latch grabs the jeep quieted mine down lots the problem with the tj was if u slammed the door or someone didnt know would close them to hard the latch is weak and would bend not allowing the slider to engage big PITA thats also why i went with the body armors.
one last thing anyone running these body armors? Their mirror kit is like 130ish but it looks like a TJ mirror I can pick up a set of those new for 80 or used on craigs for 50 but want to know if they do in fact fit?
