Got some wj door handles and want to try to mount them in place of the original xj handles. Does anyone know if there has been a detailed thread posted before? Ive seen it on the google machine and so it must be real but I cant find a write up

I have never seen it or heard of it,I gotta ask why do it ?

I like the pull open design and its easier for kids to use instead of the stock xj ones

Anything can be done but your changing from a push button to a pull it will take some fab to work.

Yeah im going to go slow and think twice with everything to get it right was just hoping it has been done before so I could have some help

If I might suggest something "DON'T" do this on the doors on your XJ. If you must try buy a junk door and play with that and when/if you ruin it no great loss like it would be to your XJ. Then if it comes out really great go from there.


JMHO

Looks like you can run the rear WJ handles on an XJ, but you can't use the front door handles from a WJ on the XJ.
