    Anyone have experience with these doors?

    Taking the factory hard doors off and on can be a pain and if I take a longer trip (camping) want to be kind of protected from any pop up storms when the doors are off. I know they aren’t perfect but was wondering if they are worth having . Thanks...

    Will a head unit that plays DVDs also play DVD -A?

    If I purchase a head unit that also plays DVD will it play DVD -A? I have a few and it would be great to be able to hear them in the JK. I know it might sound a bit off without a center channel but would like to give it a shot.
