If you do want to go the TJ half doors there would be one other thing I'd check first before committing your cash.
It's straightforward getting an upper door to fit the YJ 1/2 doors because the shape of the "upperworks" is basically the same for both CJ and YJ. So all you need to buy from Bestop is an upper to suit a YJ with a Supertop.
However, TJs have a different windscreen rake \\ angle and door height, designed to work with the boomerang thingamybobs TJs have around the soft door. TJ uppers, whether OEM or Bestop, might not fit properly even after some bending. You want a tight, flush fit or they'll drive you nuts flapping out from the frame every time you drive at speed.
Maybe the YJ Supertop uppers would drop into the locating holes in a TJ half door but I've never tried it. So you need to check that the pins for the upper are in the same place for both TJ and YJ, so you can use a YJ Supertop upper on TJ doors. I'd be surprised if they were in different spots but you never know.
The uppers from the Bestop full soft doors won't fit either option as the pins are completely in the wrong places.
