I have a 97 xj and was wondering about the differance you mentioned in the door hinges. I want to go doorless and am not sure if im ready. Also more info on the door harness for the quick disconnect electrical? Links or any info at all would be very helpful. Thanks.

 

Post a picture of your hinge, only really late 97's came with the new style hinges

 

have to say i love that front recovery you did there. i'm doing the same.

 

btw, can you tell me more on how you made them? did you cut the brackets to include the d rings? or did you weld them to the brackets? and what did you sandwich them with? 3/16"?

 

Great build! Keep the picture coming!

 

3/16? nope. 1/4 plate for mounting area and 2 more 1/4in plates welded to the sides of the d-ring area to make a total of 3/4in thick bracket. Had 3/4in holes cut for accommodate the d-rings. These were laser cut btw.






We are looking to start making these to sell in the very near future, as there has been a ton of intrest in them. I still get pm's about them from when I posted them in the homebrew thread months ago

 

cool man! very nice work!

 

Sorry to hi jack you're thread. Your jeep is pretty bad ***. Here is a picture of my hinge. And can you please tell me a little more about that door harness too?

 

Scratch that, I did a little looking in the write up section and found everything I needed to know. Thanks for the good ideas tho

 

No problem, nice thing is you have the good hinges. I use zj door connectors btw. Pre 96 are the best ones

 

Got my 3.8 taurus fan installed. works great, come on when it should on both speeds, and turn of as it should with no need to worry about switches




Fits like factory installed

 

I threw on a Thrust welded muffler.. Doesn't sound too bad. not loud inside, alot of growl outside. I need to post a video
