  • To half-door or not to half-door...

    I need to put my Doors back on mah Jeep to be with in competition spec. But after completely gutting them to bare door, i am wondering if i should make half doors similar to these



    Or since my doors are gutted. Just put window nets in the door and call it done.

          i'm wondering why it's one or the other, they seem like completely different options to me

          i could see tube doors vs. half doors
          or nets vs. leave it open

          but half doors are open for better visibility, and nets close you in for competition style racing, they don't really relate

            I started to make a half door for my jeep and then realized what a fucking waste of time it was.

            Full doors with nets or no doors at all.

              Well this will be for LOBH so I have to have doors I believe per the rules. Half doors are LOBH legal and will probably be cool for wheelin', but if I just do nets i can just take my doors off for wheelin'.

                then i vote doors with nets, then go doorless

                it seems like everyone that makes half doors just scraps them down the road anyways and runs doorless

                  personally i think half doors are a waste of time...either go doorless, stayed doored, or get tube doors. you dont gotta have a lotta visibility out the door racin as you would crawling

                    the only advantage i can see having half doors over tube doors, would be that you don't get as much dirt and shit in your jeep

                            Dont be a bitch and listen to these haters, make half doors.

                            why, because any other move is a bitch move.

                            dont be a bitch

                              half doors are dope, they let you see everything and give you something to lean on
