jbhill Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 can i swap the stock MJ latches so i won't have to put in the newer striker? only problem i forsee is the rods for the later model inside door handle. the hole in the door looks to be the same(were the strikers hit). just a thought b4 i cut into my MJ(not like not scared HA). just curious to.
Catatonic Comanche Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I could not accept the fact that the 97+ passenger door does not allow an 84-96 glovebox to open when it is shut. Also, jerry-rigging the striker issue difference disturbs me as well. I ended up replacing 92 manual MJ doors with 92 XJ electric doors as a result. Good luck... Paul
jbhill Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 k then ill just mount the striker lol. is that with the long arm rests or the short ones?
88 Beast Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Has anyone come up with a fix for the glove box issue? I am planning on this swap but this may be a deal breaker

I am planning on this swap but this may be a deal breaker You can either open the passenger door everytime you desire total access to the glovebox or replace the entire MJ dashboard assembly with an XJ 97+ dashboard assembly. Some forumers here are actually replacing their entire MJ interiors with XJ 97+ interiors...must be an electrical harness nightmare! More power to them I suppose... V/R :cheers: Paul
jbhill Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 my glove box is on the drivers side, so it may not affect it?
johnnyc Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 The glovebox thing is only an issue if you have power windows and locks. If you have manual windows and locks, the door panels are different and the glovebox will open all the way. But still, it's not that big of a deal. The glovebox opens enough that you can reach in and grab something while driving.

More power to them I suppose... Actually its just a matter of being able to turn screws and unplug plugs. Then replug plugs and turn screws the other way.
jbhill Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 yea mines got manual windows so no big deal.
dakineJ Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I think I remember reading some peaple modify the lid , similar to when installng the A pillar on a cage.

I saw one MJ have this done to it, but darned if I remember where. If anyone has a link, writeup, or pics please post.
