I finally caught up on this thread, another very detailed excellent job Raymond! It makes me cringe seeing you tackling the oh so common rust we have here in the Northeast!
What year CJ5? 1975 and earlier or 1976 and up? Pretty sure I have a NOS hardware kit for 1975 and earlier that has instructions and brackets etc in it.
If you can show the area of material behind the Jeep stamp, basically the area that is vertical one of the sides can tell if it is hard doors or soft doors. Also if there is 3 snaps there instead of a sleeve area that the rod passes through, it is for hard doors.
They pop out from the top, the prongs are a bit spring loaded and do take some force and on the originals prying out with a screw driver does mess the seal some. These are also painted over from the factory, not ideal and not really designed to take in and out although you could.
These are metal and have a rubberish type seal. That’s what you see that is off white in the pic. AMC actually used this exact plug on the CJs towards the end of the run and then YJs too
I drove an Isuzu Diesel powered CJ-8 from France while in Italy last year and was very impressed with it. But I’m sure for you guys its so common you want our 4.0 i get it…but as said above, I’d keep it. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
The CJ7 donor top pieces is a brilliant idea to run the standard doors!!! Incredible work…and I really like the white rims against the top with the red stripe to top it off. 10 outta 10!
