#23180 of 23220 06 Half Doors? by mgarvie Mar 28, 2009 (1:46 pm)
Did Jeep make half steel doors for the 06 Wrangler Sport? If not, are there any other years that will fit?   Thanks

Replying to: tracy3999 (Mar 28, 2009 12:13 pm) Give a little squirt of WD40 to loosen the post through hinge.   Gently remove the nut at the bottom of the post with a 13mm wrench (at least my year is 13mm).   Lift the door up without chipping the paint.   Then wonder where you're gonna put then. Mine are sitting in the way in the garage for everyone to trip over.

Replying to: armymedic (Mar 27, 2009 9:01 pm) Armymedic:   Short wheel base Jeeps were designated as YJ's from '87 thru '95. They are the Jeeps with the "square" headlights. They have leaf springs all the way around and do not ride nearly as smoothly as the TJ's ('97 - '06) or the JK's ('07 - '09), which have coil springs.   YJs do not have the axle articulation in stock configuration that a stock TJ or a stock JK would have. YJ's can be modified to be killer trail rigs, but stock to stock, the TJ or the JK will out perform the YJ off road big time, because of that better articulation.   There were no '96 models, as this was the transition year from the YJ to the TJ.   I would stay with the 99 or later models, because I believe the 99s were the first ones with distributorless ignition.   I don't know if you have any plans to offroad that Jeep, but, if so, then deftintely find one with the Dana 44 rear end (as opposed to the Dana 35). The Dana 44 is much stronger than the Dana 35 and will support the use of bigger tires and a locker better than will the Dana 35.   Tom Have you hugged your Jeep today?

Replying to: tsjay (Mar 28, 2009 3:18 pm) Yeah, what he said!   As for half doors.. I THINK the halfdoors for TJ's are interchangeable between 97and 06.   -Paul
#23184 of 23220 97 wrangler windsh. defrost wont work by td1964 Apr 04, 2009 (5:10 pm)
heat and a/c works great, but when i switch selector to defrost air circulates fine thru all areas except windshield top vents. i can see the metal piece and black plastic cylinder (like a cigarette ) by my knee move but still no air get thru the windshield defroster. this seems common for 97 according to other messages, but is there anything i can do before taking to the dealership? also, thought it might be the vent lever and i could replace that to see if it fixes it?   thanks for your help Replies to this message: mac24 (Apr 17, 2009 7:30 am)

Replying to: td1964 (Apr 04, 2009 5:10 pm) .....but is there anything i can do before taking to the dealership?   Your problem is that the defroster door, which diverts air inside the HVAC unit up to the windshield, isn't moving even though the external mechanism seems to be functioning ok. What has actually happened is that the connection to the door (which is made of a brittle plastic) has broken internally.   Unfortunately, not only was the door never made available separately, but the upper housing (part #4864 945) of which it is a part appears to be no longer available. I have seen aftermarket kits on eBay that claim to fix the problem but I've never used one.   Some people live with it, some people hunt down a used HVAC unit and cannibalize or install it complete, others permanently fix the door in position with a wire hooked into it from above.   I'd be interested to hear what your dealer says.

Picked up Blue Rubi yesterday. Our sales lady had four wranglers on order. Only ours was made before the shutdown. Three customers cancelled because of the shutdown caused by the money boys. You three and others have our sympathy. Better_Half got a little teary eyed as she found our build sheet with dates of 4/27 and 4/28 and wondered what the assembly line workers were going through and what would happen a few days later. I have experienced the closing doors more than once up north. This is the fourth time a Chrysler product was tried (1967,1977, 2005) and hopefully it will be successful this time. Right now it feels better than the last attempt with the CRD. It's a jeep thing, and so far, much better than expected.
