Comanche doors are just 4DR fronts.

They will be too short for your 2DR.

Sorry. But hey, at least you wont be wasting money.

The 4DR fronts off the Comanche. will they physically fit on the 2DR if the donor doors come from the same year as the build truck? ( i did read they are too short but i want to know if they will hang and shut normally without sticking hitting etc..) i have a 2 door chop job and want to use the 4DR fronts and C & D pillars to help reduce weight on the door hinges and add strength to the body... Any thoughts?

the hinges would line up, but it would have no way of staying closed. the locking mechanism would just be chillin in no mans land

Bodylines match.

Only difference between the MJ and a 4dr XJ is from the back edge of the front doors to the taillights. From that edge forward...they are identical
