doors and hardtops
 

maybe someone can clear this up. what is the difference in full and
half doors that fit on 1987-1995 wranglers and the ones that fit on
1997-2004 model wranglers. why aren't they interchangabe? now a
similar question about hardtops, will a 1997-1002 hardtop fit on a
2003 or 2004 wrangler? why won't 1987-1995 hardtops not fit on
1997-2002 or 2003-04 models? thanks,

Re: doors and hardtops
 

You are talking apples and oranges when comparing those years and two
totally different Jeeps.

The YJ with the square headlights was from 87 to 95. The newly designed
TJ with the round lights came after.

Other than the name Jeep and the same engine, they don't have a lot in
common when it comes to sharing parts.

87-95 jeep door strikes are different so the doors wont fit.. the 97
hardtops will fit 03 and 04 the 87-95 hardtops bolt in on windshield frame
and the 97+ have a hinge not bolts on the windshield frame
