Who makes the best tube doors. I might build my own but would like to see some and see the cost.
 
I know Matt's been incredibly busy at his day job so I'm not sure if he's building Jeep stuff for his night business right now (www.formattfabrications.com). He definitely deserves a look.
 
Thats a dead link, even if you do fix the () stuff on it.

I've been trying to get a Warrior Products set going for the XJ, but my boss isn't biting on it, so I think I'm gonna do my own.
 
I know www.carolinarockshop.com has been making tube doors for both 2 door and 4 door Cherokees for years. Couldnt comment on cost, but from what I remember, they were reasonable.

your better off making your own or having somone local fab some up that would be a pain in the ass to ship but thats just my 2cents
 
zach,

not so much a pain to ship but the cost due to weight and size. They are lighter then regular doors, but IIRC, parcel services take a pass on them so your stuck going with a trucking company. That makes it more $$ to ship.
 
I made one out of a Chevy S-10 Blazer tire carrier...

I cut the stock latch off and relocated it to hit the pin on the door jamb...

It worked pretty well...shut really nice & tight without rattling and saved a lot of time by not having to make the frame for it. Not a bad little option if you've got a welder and a junkyard nearby.
 
Anyone have any experience with the ones from Tomken?
