j strong doors

are they that much better than the standard little half doors on a rhino? i was thinking of getting some and run across a pretty good deal on them just wondering if they make any difference in driver comfort or safety or is it just looks.

i had a set but sold them before i ever installed them. every video i saw on youtube the dang things were flying open. i guess there are modifications you can make to them to help keep them closed.

I've had mine for alittle over a year and overall, we love them. Only thing my wife doesn't like... is the latch, but i don't see a problem with it. and yes... they will come open, but it doesn't happen that often.

i like to use mine as an elbow/arm rest... and it offers good protection against branches and what not. most everyone i've ridden with that have them, really like them.

good luck!!

I do... but, i believe it has to do with my 4 seater setup. only way to really feel extra heat while stock is to add a windshield. imo.

Reason i asked is i can feel less heat in the Teryx than i did in the Rhino. I think it was those stock Rhino doors that did it. Just wondering if the full doors had noticably more heat in the cab than the stock doors.

maybe a silly question here, but why doesnt the kawi have to have doors? i figured they would have put something there just to cover their butt. never seen one up close(or payed attention) so there maybe something there(just not a door). sorry to hijack

I had a set, loved them. They would not pop-open....

Trail Armor makes doors for the Teryx.

The Teryx has something like "leg-minders" down at your feet, coming up from the floorboards, that serves to keep your feet inside...

You can see them here, coming up at an angle...

It's all about the lawsuits and Yamahas response to them. The other manufacturers dont see a need for doors. You can get your foot out of a Teryx, Ranger as easy as a Rhino. Honda is the only other Sport/Utility that has put doors on.

Honda's doors are real nice too.

Trail Armor's Teryx doors are like the J-Strong ones, they are a half door.

I've J-strong doors and love them and the J-strong upper for winter riding whens its cold

How do the upper J-Strong doors attach? I have the J-Strong half doors, and was looking into getting the upper zip-out enclosure.

Yes zip out then the bottum slide in a track that you have to screw on lower and velcro to roll bar here's a pic of the part that goes on roll bar

Anyone had to come up with a fix for these flying open when you land hard? I've seen that as a common complaint...

If so, how did you modify them?

I, too, just bought a set on clearance price...

Kent, I made my own latches, and will send you some pics of them when I get back home. Mine won't pop open at all.
