Door Swap: Lock Swap
I had one of my doors fall off (the hinge came un-welded) and now I'm having to fix it, which is a nightmare in itself.
In removing the affected door I had to cut through 20 wires to get the door off because I could not for the life of me figure out how that massive plug in module would ever fit through the tiny whole. This is fine because I do NOT want power doors.
So! over this weekend I went and picked up a full set of all manual functioning doors to add to my jeep (now I have an extra set to make cut doors out of > ). Here's my issue, my two front doors are from 2 different vehicles, and neither are from my Jeep. So what I want to do is take the locks (the part that the key goes into) out of my stock doors, and transplant them into my new doors.
I've google'd it, youtube'd it, bing'd it. Can't find something about my specific door, or something close to it.
so before I start digging and ripping guts out of doors, Does anyone know how to do this? Have tips for me? Pictures? Videos? Write ups?
You guys have never let me down before
