What do I need to grab for window conversion?

[Bonkers]

I have a notoriously bad window regulator that I can't seem to get a decent repair price on. I have a friend who just took on a sacrifical 88 Xj and he offered me the doors with power windows.

 

I've read posts here about how this is an 'easy' swap, but what parts would I need to take to make it basically bolt-in?

 

I assume my Mj door shells could be used with minor effort right?

the doors themselves will fit on with no mods. You'll need to grab the power window harness to make all that work without any issues.

Yeah, the headache is that the doors are blue and the Mj is red. I can grab the harness no prob, anything else I should look for?

If your "sacrifical 88 Xj " was a 4-door, you will have some wiring issues, because the driver master control switches are for all 4 doors, and the associated wiring. Will work if you snip off the drivers door harness for the 2 rear doors, but then you will have a drivers master control with 2 dummy switches for the rear doors. The best/easiest way is to find a 2-door XJ power window harness (or MJ power window harness - lots of luck), which includes the power door locks. You'll also have to get the drivers side master control switches from the 2 door XJ. The passenger door switches are the same.

I hadn't thought of that issue.

I'd just disconnect the extra 2 switches, maybe use them for something else.
