Ok so my son keeps breaking things. He has a 96 grand cherokee limited and I need to replace his ds front door. I found one in a jy for $120 and when I wake up im going to get it. Now is the best when to disconect the wires from under the kick panel then unbolt the hinge from the truck and take door\hinge and all? My truck is a 97 XJ and is different. Any help pics, bolt size, way to get to them like wheel well any info would be great so I know what to take to the jy. Thanks
 
If I remember correctly the bolt size is 4 13mm bolts that hold it on at the hinge, really easy to get too. The harness just unplugs at the door also, just open the door all the way. It's one big plug , just pull the plastic boot back a bit and press down the tabs. No need to take off the kick panel. A second pair of hand wouldn't hurt, because its a bit heavy.
