Overview
The Bestop Highrock 4×4 Element rear door panels, part number BST51745-01, are optional enclosure kits for the rear pair of Element tube doors. They fit the 2018–2022 Jeep Wrangler JL and the 2020–2022 Jeep Gladiator JT.
Each kit bolts onto the Element doors without drilling or modification. It turns the open tube doors into solid lower half doors, which add protection against road debris while the upper tube frame stays open. Bestop describes them as an affordable way to get lower steel half doors.
Key features
- Converts open Element tube doors into solid lower half doors
- Bolts onto existing Element doors with no drilling or modification
- Steel panels with a powder-coated black finish
- Can be painted to match any Jeep color
- Protects the lower body from road debris
Choosing lower door protection
Lower door panels change how a Jeep handles trail debris and weather. An open tube door lets mud, rocks and spray reach the lower body and the door interior, so a solid lower panel suits drivers who spend time on gravel roads and in wet, muddy trail conditions. The trade-off is airflow and visibility, which some owners notice on warm days and while crawling over obstacles near the door line.
Before buying, check how the panels attach to the Element frame and whether the mounting points are clean and undamaged. Inspect the fasteners after the first few outings, since vibration on rough trails can loosen hardware on any bolt-on door. If you plan to paint the panels, prep the surface and use a primer suited to the material so the finish holds up against stone chips.
- Look for chips that expose bare metal
- Keep door drain paths clear of mud
- Recheck fasteners after rough trail runs
