Looking for tube door for a 2001 xj

Im looking for tube doors for my 2001 xj but the only ones i can find only fit up to 1996. Does any one know if 96' doors will fit mine or am i just SOL?

You are SOL unless you hack the 97+ hinges off and weld some pre 97 hinges on. There is one company who makes some great looking tube doors for a pre 97 XJ but I can't remember the name for the life of me.

The latches are the big problem. They are different between the <96 and 97+. Plus they are mounted in a different position.

There used to be a company that made them for 97+ models, Formatt Fabrications. Keep your eye on the various classified forums. They pop up every now and then.

I picked a set up from the NAXJA forums for $200. But then I changed my plans and sold them to another member.

Formatt Fabrication's has been emailing me within the last month so I think they are still open, their website just shut down within the last two weeks though, I just thought they were maybe changing their website, they never said anything about closing business though. But yeah their tube doors are nice looking. Also Warrior's do look nice too, as Ravens said. You can also get their screen option thing for them too
