94ZJ4x4

i just got a 94 GC 4x4 after getting rid of my 89 XJ. I was wondering if its possible to take the plastic panels off the GC and if so, what is involved and are there going to be any holes under them? i think the jeep would look alot better without them but id like to see what kind of work is involved in taking them off. i have searched all over and cant get a definitive answer

I've never done it, but I have seen one ZJ without the plastic cladding on it, it looked great!

yes you can take them off, its not hard, and yes there will be a few holes under there, as for how... its pretty straight forward, I think there are nuts holding the doors cladding on, look on the back side, along the edge of the door

anybody know how many holes there are and if it would look dumb with the holes?

there will be small tabs left that you can cut off then use touch up paint on

I know a few people that have taken them off, think there are 4 holes on each door, then the little tabs, I did forget about those, you really can hardly even notice the holes, but I personally like the look of the cladding , you can always take them off to see what it looks like, and if you dont like it, put it back on...

i think ill try taking them off in the next few days just to see and like you said, put them back if i dont like it.

i believe you can just lift up on the cladding and it comes off. On my last jeep i only had it on one side so i ripped it off the other and used a grinder to get rid of the tabs and bondo'd over the holes
