Cant decide

Im wanting to get some doors but im stuck between JL2 and pro armor. Id rather have the JL2s bc they are steel and you can take them off but ive heard they rattle. All my buddys have pro armor and i like them and they are strong but they dont come off. Any advice or experience with either of these doors?

I have the pro-armor with the slam-latch love them & they do a good job for me never had the need to take them off dont want to take them off especially riding sticks & mud

I have the JL sq. Very nice door for the money. You will find that all doors will have some kind of rattle.

The removable door is nice when cleaning or working on the machine.

Big-R are the jl2s very heavy

i just put my jl2 doors on and i love them. the passenger door does rattle i have to adjust it. the removal feature is nice.

Dog how long did it take you to get tHe doors in. If you could post some pics id like to see them. Are they very heavy?

I don't think they are any heaver then other doors.

I spoke to Fred at Pro- Armor and he told me the new slam latches will be available in 2 weeks .The JL2 doors are also very popular.

mine came in about 3 days. they took me by myself about and hour and half to 2 hours to install. they seam pretty heavy to me but i have never seen how heavy pro armor is either. i will try to post some pics of just the doors tommorrow. there is pics of the buggy on what have you done this week

ok ill check it out. The PA doors are light but they are all aluminum

If you are worried about a few pounds...take less of a cooler or ride solo. 10 extra pounds on a sxs is irrelivant.

10-lbs is 10-lbs more that the machine has to pull around...10lbs here, 10lbs there. It all adds up and makes a difference....As ridepate says, keep it light-keep it fast!
I personally don't like the suicide-doors, but it's whatever YOU like. I love the iTi doors...pricey, but some guys I ride with every weekend have them, and they are built much better then the Pro-Armor.

Smith you think you will ever agree with me on anything? Just like the guys who spend hundreds more for a ti exhaust on their race quads....we used to tell them this....if you are worried about a couple pounds...maybe it would just be easier to NOT have those two quarter pounders on the way to the race. Just like in a SXS. Dont take a huge cooler...dont take three days worth of food...dont take a fat guy with ya!

And the ProArmor doors most likely dont weigh much more if any than the JL2's, since the tubing is larger on the pro armors, and heavier wall. Just because they are alum. doesnt mean they are that much lighter.

And suicide is the only way to go on the Rzr. The ITI doors are nice, but the hindge area blocks half of your acess of getting in and out, plus the latch can be a pain. I do agree that they are the best looking doors made for the RZR however.

They are all pretty good. Just order the set you really like and go with that.

Looks like Smith finally bought a RZR good looking ride there Smith

Its obvious you dont have to own one to know EVERYTHING about one.

Don't need to own one to know about them, when all my buddies have them, and we all help each other work on everyone's machines.

So why you selling the all mighty Rhino that you defend....to death it seems??????

Get the JL sq. For the money they can't be beat! IMO

Wildcat...... Everything I have on my Rhino, it has it stock. Power steering, shocks, big motor, seats. etc

I think Artic Cat would be 2nd in line (in terms of build quality) behind a Rhino. If I sell the Rhino, then I will go and get a Wildcat tomorrow( depending on availability) and keep it until a Yamaha sport SxS comes out, but until then. I am happy with my Rhino, it rides great with the Elka's, Its easy as pie to drive with the PS. The built motor and clutch set-up will not stop pulling,, will haul all my stuff for long overnight rides. I love my Rhino, it always will put a smile on my face every weekend ride with my friends. We don't care who rides what....we just get out and ride.

Got the PA thanks for the replies. Im sure the weight isnt that big of a difference but no way im cutting back on the BLs
