I knocked mine out, but I've got an 87.

 

Your gonna have to cut them bad boys out. They are pressed from both sides

 

I noticed that the ealier XJ's had an easier and simplier way of doing this. I've read that on the 98 and up (iirc) it's much more of a PITA. But thank you.

 

Oh damn. Thanks man. I was afraid of that. Hey BTW, nice color choice on your XJ!

 

Yep, she's my daily driver. I'll take her anywhere I need/want to go lol. I usually take the doors off as often as I can.

The wiring wasn't that bad, just took a bit of time (cutting, stripping, crimping, heat shrinking). The connector has a real tight fit to itself to keep weather proof, so lubing it up seems to help separate the 2 ends.

And thanks, having the kick panels off got annoying lol.

 

Well drilling them and gretting the door lined up isn't as easy as I thought it would be. It can close on its own every once and I wile but other than that, it still wont and has to be lifted. Yeah I'm kinda pissed at it right now..like I'm ready to chuck some tools at it..

 

where in the same boat zack lol my drop a lil but i do have to pull them up a lil to close and its starting to **** me off a lil . just gotta figure out what to do and also still waiting for videos =) lol

 

Well I haven't cut my hinges in half yet cause I have to wheels. But full blots are where its at. I had four half bolts in and it still had a 1 1/2 inch drop. But a full dolt made it only about a 1/4 -1/2 drop..still kinda hard to close but it stll can kinda close on its own.

 

ya im gonna goto the store and get some full bolts and try them out . hopefully it works

 

Yeah same here, I just need to pick up one more bolt. Lol

 

Well using two full bolt and male/female connectors my doors take less than 5 mins to take off..and its great. I wish it would warm up here soon..

 

Pics?

 

Of what would you like good sir?

 

Here pictures of the wiring. I have 3 bolts because I didn't drill my top ones out right. And it still works fine. I had my door off today and I did it in the parking lot in less than 2 mins.
