I like them. My hard doors go in the basement for the summer.

The best benefit would be that you can easily throw them in the back seat if you want to go doors off but still have them with you.

Do you keep yours locked so they don't get stolen?

No, and I'll be really suspicious if you suddenly have a set of doors that look like mine... :o

I do have a motion light on the side of the house that comes on if anyone gets near the jeep.

2pc ones are better than 1pc in my opinion. They give you more options and store behind the rear seat better than 1pc doors.

I don't think they make full 1pc soft doors for a TJ. Defiantly agree the 2pc ones are great for the summer.

I ran half doors at the jj ( kind that does not accept uppers). Really liked them for help keeping dogs in and a bit of rain out. Felt a bit claustrophobic when I put the full steel doors back on.

actually sadly it just lost that title last year to some god awful movie. I saw a random clip somewhere where some chick said that something like GI joe actaully surpassed this movie for the highest body count for wrecked cars... Its alomost as bad as the existance of the BB2000. :(
