I’m crossing my fingers they make it removable like the spike brand ones for the General. I know I keep saying this everytime I post about the upper doors. But maybe it’s so these fabricators will agree and do it too!!!!

On a Polaris General they just lift off. What he said:

Updated OP with frame on vehicle.

It would be great if easily removed. It would also be great to have a screen and plastic option.

Shouldn’t we be getting updates twice daily with pictures….??? Or even a drawing design of it?? Of all the things I’ve waited on/wanted for my RMAX4 or my old X4 I sold l, this is it. I emailed a couple other companies these past 2 years and always got the “we have no plans at this time” now I see it coming but don’t get to actually see it.

Patiently waiting…..

Drool over this:

Front doors will work on any 2021+ model. The jury is still out if there will be a 2021+ rear X4 door as it's old style and isn't 3 piece.

My brain just mentioned to me that we need an update on these!

I should have an update this week. Thanks for y'all's patience.

I’m 100% going to buy but need to see these on. Been trying to get same info from guys up in Alaska so I can decide but no such luck yet in the RMAX4. Since I’m sure these will have lead time issues after the first batch I’d really like to see them as early as possible to get them ordered if possible.

Massive, I’m a little disappointed that I had to hop on the wife’s FB to see there was a picture post update to these….I thought us non Brandon lovers might get the first peak….

They're going to be more expensive than the OEM soft cab but less expensive than the framed upper doors made in Alaska.

You all have been hounding us for updates and rightfully-so, but please keep in mind that the window covers that you see in these pictures are going to be much tighter around the frame on the production run and were thrown on for picture purposes. The black fabric is ballistic Cordura and the vinyl window itself is fairly thick (specs updated once I get them). The windows are velcro'd around the frame so if they get damaged or need replaced you can order a replacement. The front window has a zipper so you can roll it down for ventilation. A rubber seal is also used around the door frame.

An outside FRONT door latch is provided via old-school style pull-up door lock (sorry for the low res) and this can be used even with the framed upper doors removed. The REAR doors will have a passthrough to access the stock inner door handle. As you can see, these will work with a variety of front windshields that use clamps. A front inner door pull will also be provided, which is something I wish even the stock doors had so you're not pulling on the door sill that could be covered with mud.

An inner sub frame will be provided to beef up the existing door structure as simply bolting to the stock door frame alone can pose long term durability issues. The sub frame is a one-time install and stays in place if you decide to remove the framed upper doors.

As you can see, there's plenty of visibility but the black fabric surrounding the frame may be made a little wider.

The RMAX4 rear window is 2-piece and the rear section is secured to the roll cage. UORP would like your input on what you all would prefer: no need for a REAR zippered window or if you would like a REAR zippered window and if so would you like it in the back section or in the door section? I'll probably do a formal poll after gathering some opinions.

The RMAX4 doors can be purchased as a 4-door kit, or if you're like me, and really only care about the front, you can choose to only purchase front doors. UORP will also offer a cab separator between the front/rear.

Side view mirror mounting options are being worked on as well.

Price for the RMAX4 is projected to be $1250 plus shipping.

If any part of the rear door section unzipped I'd say I would just want the door itself to open.i have these mirrors.

I think a rear zipper window on the back section would be my preference. Maybe it would roll up against the back ROP bar.

Will there be any sort of connection at the seam between the fixed rear panel , and the door section ?
Perhaps a magnetic strip or something?
 
#29 ·
Hard to tell for sure without seeing these in person but I think the door window opening would be better. Would allow for better air flow on days they are open, probable make it easier to exit in an emergency if it flipped on side since the bolster is in way of rear. When I had the oem soft enclosure on my x4 I rarely unzipped the backs with my son in there. So if it didn’t unzip maybe that’s ok and it isn’t too necessary. One thing I do need is a PM sent so I can give my ordering info and be in the front of the line!!!!

Updated door latch video with higher resolution vid. Keep in mind these haven't been painted yet but final product will be painted or powder coated and to reiterate: the inner door reinforcement frame and door latch remain installed if you decide to remove the framed uppers for summer use

Is there any way to get them without the exterior door handle and just a flap to reach inside. Isn't the rear doors gonna be like that.

Significant update on the doors. UORP has decided to go with a plastic window frame vs fabric-type covering (steel rod mainframe is still being used). There are multiple reasons for this:

-much easier and faster to produce
-more robust for off-roading hazards
-better tolerances from set to set vs hand-sewn fabric covers
-easier/better cab sealing
-clear window insert is easier to remove/replace
-should have less flex, hence less flapping than a fabric covered door
-the clear window is velcro'd in so you can roll it, remove it, replace it with something you fab yourself like a net or hard window (this hasn't been tested so you're on your own for experimentation)
