Reviews for Carnivore Tube Doors for 18-24 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
Looks and function.
They look really good and are well made. I have one issue with them and it’s that they just do not match. The driver side has a gap where it’s about 1/2” away from the Jeep on the hinge side, it looks funny. I tried adjusting it 100 times but nothing fixes it so I’m assuming that’s normal. But the passenger side sits perfectly flush on that side so I have no clue.
Solid doors. Install was smooth, except the little piece that keeps the doors from rattling wasn’t really long enough, purchased a couple of self adhesive anti stick pads and put them on the door frame. Problem solved, no more rattling. One more thing, Tom you lied to me, logos are on the outside of the doors…
Price and features
Seem sturdy and we'll built.
Nice doors. Tried both these and a set from Extreme. The latch system is better on the Quadratec, the lines fit the Wrangler better (and for me the tubes match existing gear I already had on), I like that they use factory style hinges and they don't rattle on normal driving. Large bumps will rattle them. I have the 4 door and 3 of the 4 went on with no fit issues. The 4th which was the rear driver's side barely fit in the door opening which then made the latch system not close correctly. I measured the length of the door from left to right and it was actually a 1/4 inch longer than the other rear door. Called Quadratec and they shipped a new one which I got in 3 days, which went on in 5 minutes and fit perfectly. Boxed back up the bad one and returned in the box set they just shipped me. Giving only 4 stars because they are solid doors, but the mirrors still shake when driving so I plan to mod and add some support to stiffen that area from the top hinge to the top of the door where the mirror attaches. Also 4 stars because the door stops that are on the front doors are not even long enough to touch the frame to do their job to hold the door tight, so I added length to the rubber stop and works fine now. All in all I like the doors and would recommend them.
Great looking tube doors. However the rubber stoppers are not even close to touching the door jam. Doors rattle pretty good. Need to DIY something to help.
I bought a rear set because my wife and I have a fear of our 13 year old autistic daughter flying out of the Jeep with the doors off. I’ve search through a number of these tube door designs and these seems like it has the cross bars in the right place to minimize things falling out.
I also thought this flush mounted with the lines of the Jeep Gladiator. I was wrong…they only maintain the lines on the Wrangler. The back tub of the Gladiator is about 2-3 inches taller.
The workmanship of these units is Average at best. I have thin welds or missing welds on both doors. The paint job is also average. I have a spot our two missing paint. Guaranteed to rust.
You will need some patience to make the final alignments to make sure these tube doors fit flush. I gave up after about 30 minutes because I’m good with “close enough.” Someone with OCD might not be able to take it!
Overall, the price was right and the look was what I was going for. I’m probably at 3.5 stars on this due to quality.
Finish and quality of the door seems to be very good. The rear hinge pins seemed a bit too big and were a pain to get in. Overall they look great and happy I made this choice..
Awesome Doors - wish they came with a mirror though…got to pay extra for that.
