TUBE DOORS COMPARISON- WHAT'S THE BEST

[KRAKEN]

With winter slowly starting the downhill slope and spring just around the corner for some of us, I started thinking about tube doors, in my case for a 2 door. What are the BEST tube doors?
If you have any experience with tube doors I'm interested in opinions: best looking, fit & function, ease of installing & removing, etc.

I really love the way a lot of these look… then i remember how my tires love to throw mud and gravel, and dust flying absolutely everywhere, and I’m thankful i can temporarily roll up the windows when I need to

I`m partial to the FORD ones , although they are still in the box. We will find out when the weather gets better.

I had my eye on the Ford OEM but then I saw Rough Country and like how it has more covering and third of the price

the FORD ones , as they are the only ones that have to pass any crash standards .

I like the Ford doors but they are pricey if you don't find a deal.

I have the IAG on our 4dr. Great fit and finish and they look great too.

Something seems … inconsistent about this.

I mean, you can drive the Bronco on highway with no doors at all - so why would crash standards apply?

I like the looks of the Rough Country ones best and that's likely what I'll be putting on my 4DR in a couple months.

I dont have that answer , but what I was told from FORD directly . and not just somebody trying to sell me something

Not saying you are lying or anything - Ford probably did have to crash test them for liability reasons. Just that it doesn't make much sense, since none of these are going to do anything for you in a crash at all.

Like about 6 months ago, we had the same discussion about tops - someone was adamant you needed the Ford top because it was crash rated... when the Bronco is fully certified to drive down the highway without any top on at all.

I bought the ford doors for $400 NIB I would not have paid the $1800 or so that Ford gets , I am surprised to see or think that they are crash rated. I bought at my wife's behest , she said she would like to have something there. I am an old Army guy and prefer no doors.

I bought the Mabett ones in 23 a month after I took delivery. It took Amazon (3) returns to get one set that was not damaged or missing something. Once I had the parts they were easy to install. I bought a set of Fords from eBay at a good price in January so I will put them on this summer. Night and day difference in weight between the two sets. I could not believe how heavy the Fords are. I think they weigh more than the actual door.

I have the Ford ones. I personally like the look of them. But there are a few others out there for a lot less that look good as well.

I agree . The Ford tube doors seem as heavy as the regular door . Heavy
