offroader461 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I have been tossing around the idea of swapping to the +97 up doors to replace my doors on the 87...benifits for me: 1. Added security (eliminating vent windows) 2. don't have to replace the window guides (22 year old rubber..nuf said) 3. Will fix my window problem on the passenger side (crank assembly is old) 4. can get them for bout $100 for both doors complete with mirrors, panels etc. 5. Door pins will be fixed...d/s on my truck is gone :fs1: The only problem is that the strikers are different but i have read alot about easy modifications on them...Opinions/Suggestions always welcomed :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summerinmaine Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I don't have an opinion, as I like the wings in my truck, but based on your list, it sounds like the decision has already been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyc Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I've done this swap twice. First on my old 96 XJ. And then on my 92 MJ. No regrets either time. As long as you can get the doors in good shape and for a good price, then DO it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I would go for it, although I prefer the wing vent windows. MJ has them, XJ does not and I wish it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
