88swampedmj Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 hi i have an 88 mj and the door locks are messed up ive done some measuring and i think the doors off my 86 4dr cherokee will fit i was wondring if anyone has already don't this or if it will even work..
mjeff87 Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Yes, 4 door XJ front doors are the same as MJ doors. Jeff
pingpong Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I recommend replacing the torx head bolts with an easier bolt. Heck you are probrably going to end up cutting one or two off anyways. Patrick
88swampedmj Posted November 29, 2005 Author Posted November 29, 2005 haha prolly... i might leave them off or make them removable..
pingpong Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 I pulled my doors for the last ride I was on :D Now I can't even put the passenger door back on due to the damge that side of the cab took :? So it looks like I am going to be doorless from now on :twisted: Just thought I would pass that on :wink:
dishdude Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Is it legal to go door less on the street? Has any one ever tried?
DirtyComanche Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Is it legal to go door less on the street? Has any one ever tried? Depends where you live. Typically I've found the law to be if they were removable from the factory, it's legal. So, that'd mean no. Contact your local authorities and make an inquiry.
pingpong Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 In Virginia, the inspection code does not address this question. What it does say is you have to have one interior mirror, and at least a drivers side mirror. I drove my truck on the street on and off for a month or so, and never got pulled over. I did however get followed by an officer or two, no doubt they were running my registartion and the what not. Since then I have decided to make my rig an Offroad vehicle only cause I was getting tired of the cop staring game. I also had to raise my wieght class on my vehicle to remain legal as far as bumper hieght goes. So my MJ is a 3/4 ton on the registration :shock: :twisted: Patrick
mjeff87 Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 In Virginia, the inspection code does not address this question. Patrick Hell, apparently it's legal to drive without a HOOD in Va....I've seen no less than 10 vehicles tooling down the road sans hood :shock: But I do like VA for the fact that my MJ is registered as a passenger vehicle, not a truck (like PA made me do and pay 30 extra bucks for a plate sticker). Patrick, do you actually drive your MJ on the road? :D Jeff
pingpong Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Up till the last trail ride I went on.. Yes I did drive my rig on the road :shock: :twisted: It is great to watch ppl get out of my way, cause they know I care about body damage :wink: If your MJ is registered as a passenger car, and it is lifted, they can give you a ticket. I am not saying that they will,but the bumper height laws are different for passenger vehicles. As for the hood thing... Yes it is perfestly legal not to have a hood on your vehicle. :shock: Patrick
88swampedmj Posted December 9, 2005 Author Posted December 9, 2005 well i live in texas my friend has a yj and during the summer he never has doors...hes never had any problems..
pingpong Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Where Ilive if the Officer doesn't see any mirrorsa, he can and will pull you over and right you a "Defective equipment" ticket which cost $109 after court costs :shock: This is the same ticket they issues after you prove your speedo is off. or shall I say the judge reduces your speeding ticket to that. It doesnt carry any license points so I guess it is better
