I got an xj with power everything with new speakers and I would like to go doorless. Just wondering if anyone has done it and successfully reinstalled the door and all power components work (power windows,power locks,and speakers). I work on tractor trailers and was thinking I could get two old pin connectors and try that.

1. there are 1000+ threads on this, and alot more information than i can provide u if you use the search button above. 2 the connectors unplug inside the jeep under the kick pannel trim. i've seen some people use connectors from wj's with the factory ugraded stero. what im doing is just looking for manual doors to swap on, because lets face it the power stuff on the newer models is more headache than its worth.

ah, i did this on my 93. (i have a 98 now and its completly diffrent) i took the speakers out of the doors and mounted them in the kick pannel. or alternitivly, you can find a speaker bar out of an xj in the jy or buy the one i got for 30 bucks + shipping and put them above your head. all you need to do is recover it to match your current headliner

Yes when you reinstall your doors all power components will/should work. I broke the pins off of all the connections. That way it is easier to plug in/pull out. When I want to remove the doors I unplug everything, pull my bolts out, pull the wiring harness through and I am good to go. To put back on just line it up, put the bolts back in, push the wiring harness through and plug everything in. It takes about 5 mins. I have power windows/ door locks and speakers in the doors. I plug them in and everything works great. My doors sag and I have to lift them to close. Its worth it!!

Hahaha I don't care about sagging. Like I said I've got no problem taking the doors off it's just all the power components I'm worried about and I've been searching since I've posted and everyone's a little different. So I'm hoping my 96 is gonna be a gem and not break my ***** for once lol

Unplug, remove.
Reinstall, replug.
Simple as that.
Holy hell. Look what happens when I google the name of your thread.

Btw, this needs to be in Chat or a Tech forum. Not the fabrication forum.

I looked around and it was taking the doors off not about the wiring,I wasn't gonna sit there for another hour and keep looking. My idea was to get a waterproof pin connector not made by jeep take off all the connectors on the wiring now repin them and connect them to make it more easy. That sounds like fabrication to me
