| 1/2 doors on sidexsides I can not tell you how important these things are. If you own a sidexside(esp a rhino) GET SOME! We had a few friends go riding this weekend and tried to do a donut in a rhino. You guessed it, it turned over on the passenger. He now is in the hospital having surgery. Broke both bones in his leg. Clean break of the fibula and tibula.
It isn't that much money in the overall scheme. I know when I flipped mine, it saved my buddies legs. Not to mention you stay much cleaner with the doors. | | |  | Jul 15th, 07, 09:41 PM | | Almighty Supercook Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Key West

| Our Buddy was lucky.. I paid a little extra for the J-strong doors but they are well worth it. Shelby tended to want to stick her legs out on the vinson when we were off camber and now SHE CAN"T!!!I just have to remind her all hands in on the ride. | | |  | Jul 16th, 07, 10:49 AM | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Tuscaloosa, AL

| Please tell your friend that we are thinking about him/her and wish him/her the speediest of recoveries.  Now....
any chance that you'll quit doing donuts so that you don't rollover?
I didn't think so, get the doors  | | |  | Jul 21st, 07, 02:34 AM | | Beer Wagon Driver STAFF Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: DFW, Tx.

| Not really into the door idea on the side-x-sides... I know it's a great safety feature, but it also promotes a helluva lot of heat in the cab... I like ventilation especially down here in the heat and humidity.
Rhino is not something I ever see myself doing donuts in anyways... I bought it for exploration and putt-puttin.... not going ape-shit or pullin an evil-kinevil.
I have however been lookin for a hard-top for mine, not finding anything I like other than the J-strong... and I am NOT paying $600 for a plastic top for a Rhino... PERIOD.
I want one that comes down the back of the cab a few inches like my canvas bimini... but I could buy a used quad for what J-strong wants for their stuff. | | |  | Jul 21st, 07, 10:55 AM | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: L.A. (Lower Alabama0

| I bought my j-strongs on e-bay so they were a little cheaper. My roof is metal but tough. So far I have not had problems with heat in the cab. But I just like knowing that Shelby can't stick her feet out and if I go in muddy water a bunch of debris doesn't come in on my feet! There are cheaper doors but with the j-strong you can reverse them if one side starts looking worn out. And they latch way better than Chads!!lol | | |  | Jul 27th, 07, 09:47 AM | | Beer Wagon Driver STAFF Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: DFW, Tx.

| I went to Wally World and got some cheap rubber floor mats with deep grooves in em that hold the mud... when they get full I pull em out and throw em at a tree or dip em in the creek or river to clean em out.... helps keep the floorboards clear. | | |  | Aug 2nd, 07, 11:04 AM | | Super Moderator STAFF Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: moulton,alabama
