Driver Door Window Not Rolling Up Among Other Things

[Spectormj]

My window is stuck down and from what ive heard from a buddy of mine is that its a pain to fix

and the transmission went out so its at the shop to get fixed

I need ideas on the window and possibly the gas gauge cause it only works when I have my mj off

I have that same problem with my passenger side window. If it goes down too far, it falls into the door and you have to use pliers to get it. Once I do I just keep that window up or cracked, as I haven't gotten around to fixing it. What I'm going to do is get a new door, because it's easier and cheaper to do that than it is to buy and replace the regulator. How? Junkyard is your friend.

The regulator is cake to replace, but finding them, mainly manual 1s can be a challenge at times

Yea, replacement of the motor is far easier than swapping the entire door.  When I went from electric to manual windows on my XJ, I didn't have a bit of trouble swapping them.  I will likely put those electric motors in my MJ when I start converting everything to power.

OP has manual windows, no regulator to be had. I believe that the worm gea in the metal track inside the door is stripped. I had to replace mine on both doors and have determined that i will find a set of power doors and swap them in before going through that again. I suggested to the OP that he find a cherokee with a good working manual window and just swap out the whole door, replacing those PITA torx bolts with traditional hex heads. 

 

 

 

Is there any difference between the 86 year model and the rest of the MJs as far as doors go? All Cherokee doors are still direct swaps right? With the understanding that 97+ have a different door striker of course.

journey i like the decals my mj has on the doors

All the doors on 1984 thru 1995 are directly interchangeable. 2 Door XJ and MJ. There are others but those are the only years I'm personally familiar with. On the early years the mechanism is held in with bolts and screws. The later years are riveted. APITB. I've removed the rivets by grinding the heads off and by using a hammer and chisel. Can't really recommend one over the other.

Thanks jimoshel thats exactly what i was trying to figure out. I suppose that means 96+ have the different door striker, yes?

Then you are on your own my furry not-so-little friend.

Hell journey I think ill get new doors anyway and just say screw it I can live with out door decals ha

I get the rig back Tuesday

[jimoshel]

In the old days we didn't have, or used decals. We used paint. If you were good you could freehand it. Other wise use masking tape.

I want to take my rig from silver to black then put red D-rings on custom front and rear bumpers then paint the roll bar red to match the D-rings

[Spectormj]

But I'm no painter that's for sure

NO! NO! NO! :doh:   4 dr XJ and Comanche interchange. 2 drs are longer (which is why I was going to use them to make an extended cab MJ) The manual tracks are pretty weak. I have the door panel loose on the driver's side in case I forget and crank my window too far down. I reach in, push the glass up slightly and turn the window crank to get it back up. I have spare red doors for mine with chrome handles and mirrors.
