Reviews for Rugged Ridge Fortis Tube Doors for 18-21 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
These doors are very sturdy - they weigh almost as much as the full size doors coming off the Gladiator. The tubes are heavy gauge steel and I pretty much feel safer from a side collision standpoint than with the regular doors.
They require a bit of trueing and adjusting to get right the first time, but after that it's about a 40 minute project to change out the top and doors (I rigged a pulley from the ceiling for the hard top).
I bought the mirrors as well; they're obviously manual but do the trick.
Advice: Back out the latch hex bolts and locktite them. Don't know why they didn't do that at the factory.
Fit and finish: The right rear door required an extra pad on the rubber grommet to make contact with the door frame. Simple enough, squeaky otherwise.
They are super fun and I recommend purchase. The Mopar doors don't come with mirror mounts.
Doors work and look great, easy installation. Some small adjustments needed on the hangers.
I've had them on my 2020 Renegade for a few weeks now, and they're far superior to others I've used on my previous Wranglers. Nice locking mechanism. Heavy duty. Feels secure. Superior mirrors than with other safari doors that I've had. Look great. A couple of things though. The door straps are too long and your doors will hit the fenders. What were the engineers thinking? You'll need to order short straps. The mirrors were missing mounting screws. Luckily I had enough in my shop. And the door hangers were also missing. Didn't really care since I prefer storing in door bags.
Absolutely love these doors and I am so glad that I ordered them! They are nice and beefy looking and put a mean look to the gladiator. Putting them together was easy only had a little trouble with putting the nuts on the bolts for the hinges but they went together with ease and lining them up and fitting them was just as easy. The wall mount door hangers are just as good too. The keep the doors out of the way and off the ground without having to put them in a corner. They went together easily and hold the doors nicely to the wall.
Great look and fit on our 2019 jl Unlimited. Doors are very heavy duty and I like the door handles. Yes there is mirror vibration particularly at 65 mph+, and some door rattle on rougher terrain - that being said it’s not that bad and 100% better than going with no doors. Absolutely love the wall hanging unit and the click-in latch to secure the door to the wall. Note, wall unit does not come with wall hanging screws. I used four 5/16” x 2.5” Hex head lag bolts and 5/16” x 3/4” flat washers. The latch units require eight drywall anchors, 8 screws and washers. Took my time and took up my stay-at-home pandemic Saturday. Well wort it.
Solid. Heavy duty. Look great. Easy to assemble. Only issue is that the hangers that they came with did not come with the 5/16" lag bolts needed to mount on the wall. Other than that A+
Great, sturdy product. Easy to install. Also bought the door covers - the whole configuration looks fantastic with my Rubicon. I'm keeping things open air as long as possible this fall.
Love these doors!!!! We looked at several others and like this design/shape the best. Wish we could leave them on all year long. Makes it easy to lean out to see the trail/line/rock/edge of cliff, etc. If you break a mirror get this item. They sell them individually. I know from experience.

Absolutely love these doors. The rubber grommets are better if you glue them in. They pop off easily. Had mine painted and they look great.
I Love these doors. They look great.
