Help With Body On Jeep Cherokee
The driver side door top hinge of my 1984 Jeep Cherokee has broken off
the body. It appears the welds broke away. It took with it three dime size holes in the body where it was welded. Any suggestions on how to repair? I have a small home shop with stick, gas and mig welder. Is there a way to replace the who portion of that inside section? If anyone has come across this I would appreciate any suggestions for repair. Thank you. Josh |

You can rebuild the inside panel and weld them back on. It was a defect
and some folks managed to get repairs under warranty even. I used to have a link on the repair, but here are a couple: http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Body/Hinges.htm http://www.i-car.com/html_pages/tech.../070102b.shtml http://www.google.ca/search?q=cherok...fficial&hs=oYQ Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 'New' frame in the works for '08.

This happened to my 1996 Cherokee, and I lived with it for a few weeks (which was humorous to passers-by, as the door would drop about 8" when I opened it up). I took it to a body shop just outside of Pittsburgh and they fixed it for me. Not sure how feasible it is to repair with the welding gear you have, or how exactly the jokers at the body shop fixed it. And the junked 1994 that I'm messing with has that same weld joint wiggly and ready to go, so it's probably not uncommon. BS |
