96xj to 87MJ

[jeepaholic]

Will the doors off a 96xj 4door Country fit on my 87 MJ? Please tell me yes..I found a set w/ power windows,locks,mirrors for a good price.

yes.

Body style changed in 97. Might want to grab the body side of the wiring harness though, it's not likely that you have the same electrical hookups hidden in the MJ, if you have them at all.

Ok enlighten me. I was under the assumption that it would just be a matter of hooking up a ground and a hot. Mine does have the factory wiring harness still in it but it is a base base base 87 model MJ. :drool:

it's not that simple. You've got ground and hot,. but you also have the wires from the drivers door that control the passsenger side door. IIRC the passenger side door gets it's power from the drivers side door. Don't take my word for it, but I know there's wiring that goes from one door to the other. If you didn't want the drivers door to control the passenger side doo r you could probably just wire ground and hot to the motor and switch.

Well that sounds simple enough..I could just run the hot and ground to the driver door then run the wires from the driver door to the psgr door in some loom and tuck em under the dash somewhere..I am thinking for 100 bones i can't not buyem.
