Welcome to the club Jason!
Solrus has the full cab, he's in Montana. Thought about it for mine but the doors don't seal all that well.
@solrus is the guy for heat, I have a heated cushion on mine for plowing.
Worth the money for me because I use mine in cold and inclement weather. The large gaps between the frame and doors are irritating at times.
I transport mine in the bed of my truck all the time BUT I have a specific way of hauling it. It has to be loaded backwards otherwise the doors will be ripped off by the wind. Also for added security I run straps around the cab to hold the doors tight. Even with that they still bulge because the gaps allow air to force into the cab, thus making a high pressure zone inside the cab. If you wanted you could unclip them for transporting. Only takes a few seconds.

Thanks!! I hope to come to the club ride to meet and ride!

Thanks good feedback. I haul mine front in. But going to go back in.. seems to fit better... Seems like it could work then. Picture show the doors not a good seal but must be good enough.

They zip out then you roll them like a sleeping bag. There's a little strap that snaps around them to keep them rolled down.
Also be careful backing it into a pickup. I've got the 27" bighorns and my exhaust is about an inch from my rear window. Before getting the larger tires I put pieces of 2X6 between the rear tires and the bed wall to keep the exhaust from shattering my rear window.

Jason1234, use my build thread pictures to see how they look.
1. I used homedepot tubing isolation to seal some gaps, I do it every winter , you will find it in my post
2. I do transport with doors on , but they could be pushed in a bit and so far it worked if haul 65 mph or less.
3. windows has zip lock
4. For me its very helpful in the windy weather , saves heat a lot, if wind blows hard and its minus 20-40F then you need them for sure, even if it rains hard , they are still better then nothing.
5. I have mini heater so they help to retain some heat and good enough to keep air moving so "toots" dont stay too long.

Good point on backing it in. I have 26inch vipr and when I measured it looks close. I have a gmc.

Looks nice. The doors do look like they stick out a bit. I can see wind and rain come in wile driving.

I've got the doors and find them working better than i thought they would when i first looked at them. To fully seal your going to have to cover up a lot of spaces as solrus said.
The doors billow when transporting .Really a must to strap right around to keep them from flying off .
With a heater its really comfortable,at least seems so to -15 C. Not really that cold I know. I've got my winter gear on anyways and am looking for shelter from the rain or snow. The defrost keeps windows clear,and adds heat as a side benefit .Gotta see where your going !

I have the Honda soft doors and they fit better then I was expecting after reading reviews on them. They have a few gaps that I thought they could have done a little better design to close up but with the heat off the engine alone with the full windshield and the back Honda window it gets warm in the cab. I used it to fertilize the yard and it was around 60 I had to tilt out the front window and roll down all of the windows because I was sweating.
