Jeep Driver Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 There is not one 97+ XJ at the PnP. I have noticed that many other vehicles use similar strikes, have any of you found strikes from any other that will work with late doors? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are cheap enough and free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 I didn't even think of that. But isn't there a back plate? guess I could make one.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I didn't even think of that. But isn't there a back plate? guess I could make one.............. There is but you don't necessarily need it. If you have a welder make a bracket or cut holes and weld nuts to the sheet metal. If not, just use the factory hole on the Comanche (widen the hole on the striker) and use a nutsert for the bottom. I've got nutserts in the bottom of mine and they arent going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOBBiN Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I drilled both holes and used nutserts. No issues so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
