ok so heres the deal. i have a 94 xj country and someone who had it before me welded the hinges on to the jeep for the two front doors. one of them has broke so i now climb in and out the window of the driver door or one of the passenger doors. so my question is what are the chances of welding hinges off a wrangler on to my jeep so i then have detachable doors? on a side note is anyone else getting 5 mpg out of there xj driving through town at stock height with stock tires and such?

5 MPG? You should get 15-ish around town, give or take a few. What's it run like?

Just put a mesh net in your drivers side window and pretend your on some NASCAR ****.

i thought about doing that but since i have to replace two hinges with new ones anyways wouldnt it just be easier to do it with wrangler hinges instead. i know id have to put a plate on the door to make it stronger where the bolts go but thats not problem either

I'd love to do this myself, fab it up and post pics and you'll be a legend on here.

it shouldnt be that hard just put the wrangler hinges in the same spot and then put a plate in the door so you dont rip the sheet metal apart haha

Should be a fun project I need to repair my drivers side hing on the top if this turns out how I think it should I may do this my self

im searching around for a set of hinges off a 4 door wrangler right now so i can start then i have to find someone with a welder. my dads welder is out of wire so i cant use it until he buys more. should be started on this project soon though. planning to park the jeep for the summer and work on it to get a lift tires and the doors done.

im thinking maybe buy some wrangler tube doors with a net in them and modifying them to fit my jeep

You know you can just buy tube doors for a Cherokee don't you? no need to mod anything.
