Half Door Installation on a Jeep JL Wrangler

Рет қаралды 164,365

Күн бұрын

Being that you can only order half doors with a set of full doors, the only way Jeep can get them to you, is to pack them in the back of your JL Wrangler like a can of sardines. See what what it takes to unpack them and to get them installed, complete with soft uppers. Thank you for following the Pippi Project!

As a Jeep salesman in New England, I've never seen a customer order these doors but have always been quite curious about them. Thank you for your incredibly detailed and thorough video/breakdown.

I can’t find my comment about the half door uppers but I did it! I found my dream jeep. Firecracker red like my 1999 was - so stoked. I think it was called cherry red back then. Thanks again for your videos and all your positivity.

Looks good! Always loved a set of half doors on a Jeep. The twill on the uppers is such a great fabric too. I when I take my doors off of my JLU, I put a piece of clear 3m film over the hole for the metal door strap, and then cut a hole for the bolt. Keeps the metal from scratching the door jam, and its cheap and easy to replace as needed.

Getting the Willys Sport + Dual Door Option is a neat loophole on how to get power doors/locks/mirrors in a Willys Sport with the added "free" bonus of extra half doors + uppers.

Awesome I've been contemplating ordering the dual door (half doors) option when i order my jl, but man it's crazy price. I'm one who prefers the half doors only and don't even want the full doors or hardtop. They should make them standard with upgrade to full doors as an option if you order a hardtop, like the good old days. My 89 YJ based model which i bought brand new for $8999+$250 rear bench+$800 dealer installed AC... And back then the half doors didn't even have door locks until following year in 1990. Now days they bundle tons of stuff i don't really want, which only raises the prices. Anyway, I'm happy to see this vid

The struggle is real my friend. Cindy and I went though the same frustration when ordering this Jeep but in the end, we decided that we really wanted half doors and when you roll it into the financing, it's negligible.
