Can you swap a pre 97 door to a 97+?????

hinges are different but the actual doors are the same to the best of my knowledge. not sure if you can bolt the newer hinges onto the older doors though...
 
I just had a Brain storm... I'll go to the yard and try it before I buy. THey have both at the one EZ pull... hahahah I'm a genious.


Anyhow, I just like the Idea of haveing the front corner windows. you can direct the airflow.
 
I can't imagine why you would do such a mod lol. I hate the vent window as it makes seeing the mirror almost impossible for me. I like the large window opening of the 97. JMO.

I am sure it can be done easily, plenty of people doing the swap to older rigs.
 
You can bolt an earlier door complete with hinge onto a 97+. Straight swap. But...the strikers are different. That's not a big deal though.

I did it the other way. 97+ door on a 96 XJ. And I'll be putting 97+ doors on my 92 MJ soon.
