PACIFIER Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Not hard at all, it should take you no more than an hour, even if it's your first time. The hardest part is getting to the locking cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Are you referring to the 97+ XJ doors? I believe the only issue on those is the striker. 84-96 4 door XJ doors are the exact same door. Should be a direct swap. Edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 The issue is that the strike location moved vertically with the new body style XJs, which means to use those doors on an MJ you have to modify the strike in the door post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHayduke Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm looking for info at to how to position the 98' door latch / striker on A 88' mj. where does it go & do you drill and tap, bolt or weld it in? Has anyone seen a detailed write up on this? I see many mentions of it but no details... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHayduke Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I just saw this post, it looks like late model latch is more inboard: http://comancheclub.com/topic/32740-alexias-1987-to-1997-comanche/page-13 It looks like the new latch is lower and inboard of the original striker hole. Let us know if anyone knows the measurements on the new holes to be drilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
