Hi!
I have 1993 XJ. My friend gave me interior door panels from 2000 XJ and they are in very good condition.Is it possible to put them onto my 1993 doors?As i see there might be a trouble in grip and lock ****,cause they are not in the same position as on 1993.

The odds of this working without modifying the actual door and probably the door panel from the 2000 are slim and they modifications are not likely to be easy.
If it was me I'd say look for a good condition used door panel from a pre 97 XJ and go from there. Sell the 97+ panels and use the cash from that to get the pre 97 panels that will fit without modification.
Can it be done? Sure, with enough time and money anything can be done. Just up to you whether or not it will be worth it.

I dont want to change doors or totally destruct my Jeep just for a cool and fresh view.You are right,maybe it is much more better to sell the panels and by some good stuffs.For example - a gasoline

I started to change my old doors panels anyway.Back panels are friendly to install except some mods with haft,because two holes for screws are not in the same place on the new panel.Both tractions do not need to be modified but haft will scrub and you will need to cut a little bit of metal near the haft behind the door panel.Approx 1 inch... Next step is front doors.If it will be impossible,i will let you know

Right. If you look at a late model door panel you'll see that it's much thicker there than an early model panel.
A late model dash leaves room for the door panel there.
