The doors should go on without a problem.

Yeah 96 and older should bolt right on no problems.Easy way to tell what year it is look at the window glass.If it has the little wing window thing its a 96 back,If its one piece of glass with no wing window its a 97 and newer.

Provided they're the same door count (2-door doors are longer than 4-door doors,) 1984-1996 will be a direct fit, and 1997-2001 doors can apparently be fitted with changing the striker.

So the only modification necessary to put 97-01 doors on a 96 or older is the striker? Is it really that easy?

So I've seen - but I've not done it, so I can't swear to it entirely. However, given the relative constance of the body parts, I shouldn't be surprised if it were that simple.

Granted, I don't know the mechanics of swapping the strikers one way or the other, either...

Well got these doors for $50 time to rattle can them and put them on...this was a way cheaper route then trying to replace those stupid window regulators in the power doors...by the way these are manual doors so way better in my opinion
