Trying to get hard doors and top to fit
BigDsCJ7:
Thanks everyone! So the hard top and doors are from the same CJ so they fit together. When I try to mount the doors they dont line up with the windshield angle and the doors don't close because the door srikers for the fiberglass tub are on the outside of the tub, not flush, so they don't clear the door. I was thinking of welding a braket off the rollbar for the door striker, or more of a pain, a tub swap. I looked and looked but can't find a tub that is worth saving. I also need a rear liftgate for the hard top. I have good glass for it. If anyone has insite or is local to CT and know how to wield let me know. See you on the trail in Feb!
Better news....I should have the LT1 running this weekend!

I have a black rear liftgate and the lift struts. The lift gate has some rust and the one hings needs to be repaired, the area around it rusted and needs a filler plate and a little welding. The lift gate is from a CJ7 so it should work. The latch mechanism seems to be in good shape as well as the glass. The Hard Top I bought to make into a 1/2 cab came with the lift gate but it was already off before I bought it. I also have the side glass in great shape. If this sounds like you might be interested shoot me a PM.

Thanks Kirksjeep, I have one in the same shape. I don't have the resorces to do the work or I would. It seems they are in the same shape. Hahah, Do you know anyone local to CT that could wield? I don't mind paying for the help.
BigDsCJ7:

Flex:
