97+ door strikes

[Jeep Driver]

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

Waste of time to find something that works. These are cheap enough and free shipping.

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.

I drilled both holes and used nutserts. No issues so far
