Well I installed the Pro Armor door this weekend. The mechanic at the dealership warned me about the difficulty of installing these and while not bad, it wasn't what I'd call a great experience either.
1) Instructions could use some major help. Poor sketches. The instructions say 2 hour install but I'd call that pretty optimistic. I've got about 6 hours in them.
2) Passenger door fit perfect. Bolted right up and latch works butter smooth.
3) Driver door was NOT EVEN CLOSE! Door latch was a good 1/2" low compared to the post even adjusted all the way up. Both posts measured almost exactly the same distance from the floor. Ended up slotting the bottom door mounts further back and slot the post mount lower. Between the two modifications, the door now latches but is still not how I'd like it. The post bracket and door mounts all attach to existing holes so I'm almost positive the door was not welded properly from the factory.
Installed, the doors look great and I like them MUCH better than the factory nets.
I'll try to figure out how to post a couple pics.
