97+ front doors on 87 XJ
Has anyone installed 97+ front doors on an 87 XJ 4 door?
Are all the door hinges located in the same place?
Do you have to make any modifications or are they a direct bolt on?
Anyone have pictures of the doors installed, do the body lines match?

they wont seal very well unless you modify the seal strip.... the reason why your 96 doors fit is cuz its the same body line... 97 and up are sleeker (obviously).... as for the way they mount.... i know the 97's use a different style hinge but i don't remember if they bolt to the hinge the same or not.. i'm sure someone else will chime in with a few more cents..
