Hello, everyone, we start a brand new product project: tube door, which are specially designed to enhance your off-road experience while providing you with unparalleled freedom and protection. If you're a owner of a 2021-2024 Ford Bronco 4-Door, get ready for an upgrade that will take your adventures to new heights.

They're constructed from sturdy tubular steel that can handle whatever challenges nature throws at them. Plus, they sport a textured black powder coat finish not only for added style points but also as protection against corrosion. So whether rain or shine, rest assured knowing that your tube doors will stand strong.

However, we are facing an awkward situation for product choice, there are two plans of Tube Doors we want to design, the biggest difference between them is the design of the opperance, here are some detailed design pictures shown below:

Comparasion:

Option 1:

Option 2:

So, we are wondering which one do you prefer to use? Option 1 or Option 2? you could kindly write your thoughts or suggestions in our comment area. I will randomly choose some lucky users who offer me with valuable suggestions to test our new product for free (once they are available) !

Definitely like Option #2 for my Bronco. #1 looks great on this vehicle but I like the matte finish for my cactus gray color. Curious how the cutouts will affect wind direction.

Too dangerous. Opt 1 would slice you in half in an accident.

No salt tram towers were harmed in the making of this post...

I would say option 2 but would change so the slats are "open" to allow air. The slats look closed therefore the door is solid; again more open air

What I would really like is a canvas piece set in a simple metal perimeter frame. Like your option 2, but without the metal.

I prefer #2 but I hope the side view is a cut/paste job because they look all jacked up and do not follow the lines of the bronco at all,lol.

I also like the idea of a tube frame with a soft material stretched over them as stated by Jason .

Doorless? These are coolish but are just windowless doors. Seems like alot of money and energy when I have a button to lower my windows. Maybe I'm just not the target market? Seems like it's for those who want to feel Adventurless and doorless but still have full doors. Full disclosure I don't have a 4 door anyway. If I were to choose these in a 2 door design I would like # 2 BUT with the cut outs for air like in #1 AND an option to attach/remove the panel so that you could run just tubes and/or tubes and doors.

I like Option 2. But one of the benefits of the tube doors on the trail is the unobstructed view. Not all Broncos have the 360 cameras so being able to look at your front tire without having to open the door is really useful. I would like to have Option 2 but with a large window or cut out in the door and a metal screen added so I don't throw rocks into the vehicle when I am cruising dirt roads. if you could make the screen removable that would be cool to have open when rolling paved roads.

Option 2.

I am not the leader. I just like to go first.

I prefer Option 2. I thought to myself, "Self, why the cut out in option 1?" All I could come up with is like something long like skis you wanted to carry. That cannot be it though, because I want all my doors driving to the ski hill. I would just put the skis up top on the rack. Anywho... Option 2 because it is flat across the top. One thought I had, was maybe a sturdy mesh pattern like on trailer ramps would be a good design.

I like Option #2 for the flat top line and what looks like louvers to all air flow and keep some of he road debris from getting in.

Yeah I like the flat top as well, you can rest your arm on it but with the 106 degree days we have been having recently and if it was in direct sunlight severe burns are a real possibility.

Oh I think this is much better. You get some vents, but do not have to worry about large stones. I can see using these on the way to the beach or somewhere else where you need a door to be legal. Then once off road easier to take off and less fragile than the full door.

My opinion is I would like to see a more open design like tube doors.

A step in the right direction. It still looks unorganic and out of place. Mad Maxx comes to mind.
