xjcrazy09 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Alright, I know I have seen the topic on here somewhere but can not quite locate it. I was wondering how difficult is it to adapt 98+ doors on to my 87 Comanche? I have a guy going to sell me some doors for $40, wondering if it would be worth it.

cracker Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yeah it is worth it for $40 Out here they cost $120 at the yard if you find them (good luck) Make sure you grab the striker as you'll need it (from what I hear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocskipper Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10459 That link should give you everything you need and I believe there is even one more write up on it in the DIY section. The entire conversion is very easy, I am just waiting around for a deal like you founf to pick up all the parts and make it happen. -Skip :USAflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjcrazy09 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Thanks for all the advice, but Just to let you know that link definitely takes me to a write up on a front end conversion, and is not even completed. From what I can tell I will just have to relocate the strikers a little bit. Which stickers are you referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 A donor is a vehicle used for parts. I bought a 97 Cherokee to use as a donor for my build. Look for the "Another new guy" thread in the Projects forum. Johnnyc has done the door mod and so has JBhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
