I have a set of Aqualu half door that I am fitting up. Easy button if you dont feel like screwing around with reproduction half doors or chopping up a set of originals.
The only thing that I did not like was the door striker. So we machined a set out of 316SS with the strike plate at an angle to make the door close easier.

We powdercoated in aluminum primer and dropped them off at the paint shop for a color match. Best of both worlds.

I am also going to test fit the Topnault half door. My only issue at this point is that they do not sit flush with the tub.

FJ40-0002-000: Front bumper with clevis hooks and M8274 Provision. $785.94 + tax and shipping
Pictures stolen from @wngrog
Standard powdercoat options: Black and Pewter (aka Vegas Gold)
Please email Sales@orangeparkmachine.com to if you are interested in reserving a bumper. We will ask for payment when the bumper is ready to ship. We do these on the side so I could take some time before we can get them thru the weld shop and powder.

The aluminum half door ready to be picked up from the paint shop. Paint guys goes a little overboard as usual.

Doors are on.
The latch setup is terrible. Even with a custom striker plate the latch needs to be open/pulled for the door to close. I am going to increase the angle of the striker plate to help the latch but there has got to be a better answer.
