m0brando Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 The doors on my '92 are about shot. I've found a decent price on a set of front doors from a 97 Cherokee. They're appealing since the seals, etc would be that much newer and the newer door panels. Few questions: 1) Will they bolt right up? Hinges/latches/etc all the same? 2) My truck currently has manual windows/locks. Will I ever be able to get the power windows/locks/mirrors to work? If each door gets a hot wire and a ground and possibly a wire run between the 2 doors is anything else needed? Or is there much more to do in a fuse box somewhere? 3) Anyone else done this? thanks for any help! Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazenjeep Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I too am looking at doing this swap.The one thing i like about them is that you get bigger door windows.And belive me when i am at mc donaolds trying to pay for my burger and i hit that vent window every time.So i am interested in this swap too.

pingpong Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I believe the door strikers are diffferent. Also they are torx head bolts, I recommend replacing them with the appropriate size allen heads. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.p ... =door+swap There's a writeup on making the doors fit with some pictures. It's a 4 door cherokee, but it should be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feerocknok Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 There should be some sort of regulator needed for the window motors, but those may be in the doors. Check on that, otherwise you might burn them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbhill Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 ok i read that other thread, so the doors just bolt on, but i need to put the 97+ stricker on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 ok i read that other thread, so the doors just bolt on, but i need to put the 97+ stricker on? Yes, but it won't fit directly, it will need the holes wallowed out a bit to bolt onto your existing door frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbhill Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 the holes as in the mounting holes in the hinge? thast no big deal then :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Seals? On all my Cherokees and Comanches, the seals are mounted to the body, not to the door. How is swapping a door going to get you newer seals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 the holes as in the mounting holes in the hinge? thast no big deal then :) no, not the hinge, on the striker plate.Go to that link I mentioned earlier, it has pictures of the whole process.

The strikers on the new doors are not only a different type, they are at a different height on the door. I read that article on NAXJA, and my sense is that he left out a lot of information. I wish we weren't on opposite ends of the continent, because I'd like to look at his swap "up close and personal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
