TJ doors in a YJ ??

Will TJ doors work on a YJ with a YJ top ??

Depends, soft or hard top? Soft top? No ah ah. The corners of the doors are square on YJ doors (and the top matches).

Hard top? Not sure. For some reason, I think the doors are different, but I could be wrong.

Actually depends on half doors or full doors. The TJ doors are the same as the YJ from the belt line down. Actually has several parts that say CJ in the description. The problem is the windshields are different between the two so if you use TJ full doors you would have to cut off the portion around the glass and get that part from a YJ. So you would be better off using YJ doors.

Half doors should work with out a problem and then you could use YJ uppers with the rounded corners or get fiberglass uppers.

no, tj doors will not work, the latch mechanism's are different, as are the windshield frame angles.
you could probably make them work, but it would be far easier, and likely cost less to put cj7/cj-8 or yj doors on

ok.. the reason i ask is YJ hard doors seem to have the mirror almost half way back on the door and Tj's have a little farther forward.. when theyre back farther they're harder to see out of IMO

relocate the arm of the mirror to point forward instead of back. they are supposed to fold, but the aluminum corrodes, and may take some persuasion

Do you mean the little rally mirrors like on the YJ Sahara or laredos that is mounted by the wing window or do you mean the larger mirror mounted on the hinge?

If it is the larger mirror they are exactly the same I have a TJ mirror on my 88 YJ half doors.

First buy a YJ and then worry about little $*** like the mirrors..............
