« on: November 27, 2010, 12:57:51 am »
Will fenders, soft top and doors off a Wrangler YJ fit a 1997 Wrangler TJ?

NO to both...
A TJ top will not fit a YJ due to the windshield frame angle. However, a CJ top will fit a YJ with very little complications. But, the CJ hard tops don't have the modern things a TJ top has, meaning the tinted glass, rear defroster, wiper.
Same goes for the flares...TJ flares are utilized on YJ's with wheel well modifications, but not the other way around. I guess you could if you cut the metal correctly.

Ok so the CJ7 tops will fit the TJ, but YJ tops wont. Thanks Rick.

OMG, sometimes you drive me as crazy as Nancy does...

You DID NOT read what I wrote.....READ AGAIN......You have it backwards with the tops.
A TJ is an entirely different breed from the YJ & CJ and few interchangable body parts.
