wranglercory Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I am curious to know if anyone has swapped doors from a 97+ Cherokee onto a MJ. If so how did it turn out and does anyone know if there are any good articles with pictures of doing this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motion Offroad Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The hinges are different as well as the latch (catch) on the door post. So to swap them out you'd have to weld on new hinges as well as the catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepinmanch Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I have never heard about the hinges being different. Although I have not done it myself (yet) I have known the stricker to be the only mod necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90PioSport99 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The hinge is different, but that doesn't matter, the new doors will bolt onto the old hinges (the holes on the door are in the same place). The new style striker also bolts right up to where the old one did, you just have to use the top hole in the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
