Reviews for Carnivore Tube Doors for 18-24 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
Would have given a higher review but quality control was subpar. Received my doors with the incorrect rear driver hinges. (Was shipped with passenger side hinges so they were upside down and because they are specific can't just be flipped.) Quadratec badge on the inside of the door is also installed upside down. Mirrors did not come with complete mounting hardware, only the screws were included so had to go to Home Depot to buy washers and nuts to complete the install. Happy with the look but disappointed with the quality control. Quadratec did get the new hinges out to me quick after contacting them.
I've been driving around with my doors off, but two things have been problematic for me, 1) lack of rearview mirrors, and 2) young daughter in the back seat. These tube doors seem to solve both problems well, and are significantly less expensive than the Mopar tube doors. I have to ding two stars for the following: 1) build quality (couple of the metal edges are bent, and when mounting not each door sits in the door well the same), and 2) lack of instructions/provision for eliminating rattle. They sit on the hinges well, but even after adjusting both the hinge mounts and the latch assembly I have rattle. Otherwise a very cost-effective solution, and I really like the large diameter tubes.
First set of front doors did not fit at all due to latch bracket being improperly welded. Was sent a second pair and the hinge pins on the hinges were too big in diameter to fit into hinge. Luckily was able to remove hinges fro, first set to swap onto second set. the rubber bumper adjustment is useless in the size and length they come with, installed longer and larger ones that seem to help. The fit is ok at best. Wish the panel where the mirrors mount was more sturdy as the mirrors shake a good bit while driving down the road.
Also did not like the quadratec emblem glued on outside of door.
I never received the little adjustable rubber stoppers. I contacted Quadratec once boxes were opened and nothing still months later. So rattling of the tube doors is horrible. I don't recommend any purchase from this company.
