Took it off roading today. All in all it did great didn't even get stuck once. My axle side track bar bolt came out so we put an extra bolt through and duct taped over it lol.. Then my alternator starting to die so I rushed to an advance auto parts and put another one in their parking lot.

How much we're those plugs? Recess the body side one in the door jamb really well and make sure the door side has plenty of movement so that they stay clipped together... Mine are starting to pull apart most of the time

$12 for the pair lol. As of now they're very tight and pretty hard to pull them apart but I'll make sure to give them some room

I went through a couple ZJs and that's the only one with enough wires for me. How many wires do you need each side?

I've got 21 drivers side and 24 passenger. I found plugs with 23 and 17 so I'll have to do something about that. Do you need another pair? I can grab some next time I go if you need
