But aren't the front doors longer than the rear doors, which is the whole reason to use all front doors?
Also I really like your idea, but the inside would be a pain I think.

Yes, stock front doors are longer than the rear doors, but I saw that Jeep at SEMA and I don't recall the rear doors being wider the factory rear doors. I could be remembering it all wrong, it's been 12 years.
Doing it the way I suggest, the inside wouldn't be too difficult, since the modified doors would be the same width as the factory rear doors, you could use the factory interior panel and you'd fill that added corner with sheet metal painted body color and it would look fine.
But maybe I'm completely wrong and maybe the rear doors on the SEMA Jeep are really longer like the front doors.
If they did make the rear doors as wide as the front doors, a way to do that would be to use the factory front door lower half and build the upper window frame from the upper half of a factory rear door plus some extra bits from the frames of the front doors used to make the lower half of the doors beause you would need extra length in the frame You could splice the various weatherstrips and seals fairly easily, but you would need to have custom curved and tempered glass made for the wider windows - factory front windows could not be cut to shape for the rear because tempered glass cannot be cut. Cutting untempered glass to the correct size and shape wouldn't be difficult for any glass shop, but the glass would need to be curved during the tempering process - a curved form capable of withstanding the heat of tempering would need to be made. A custom glass company could do that but it wouldn't be cheap. When I did custom tempered glass for my JKU Safari Cab widows the glass shop had to send the cut blanks out to a special shop that did the tempering but mine were flat and I didn't need a curved form so they were not prohibitively expensive.
