Edit: I think I found my answer, just wanted someone with both models to confirm if possible Thanks!

Pretty sure they were all the same in exception of the rear doors.

 

I put a 95 and 99 door on my 01. I did cut them up but no problems and they look the same. Not sure what they came off (extra cab,double, reg) as I got them from a buddies junkyard

 

All but the rear doors are compatible.

 

should be the same. Only one i wouldnt be 100% on is the single cab doors. But doube Cab fronts and ext cabs are the same.

 

Changed out fuel filter, cleaned MAF, and greased the drive shaft today. All I have left is plugs/wires and cleaning the throttle body to complete my little tuneup. Will probably knock that out on Wednesday

The difference already is pretty noticeable. Engine seems a little peppier and running nice and smooth, according to my butt dyno. Also noticed about a steady .5-1mpg increase (Ultragauge) on my daily commute, even with more traffic than I normally see!

 

Whatcha got smeared all over your uniballs? I thought about putting a little grease in there to limit the amount of debri getting around the uniball. But after 4 years or so (just disassembled and cleaned em) the Teflon looks like it's still in pretty good shape with minimal maintenance, as in keeping them clean. Just been using the tri flow.

 

Spent the day reinstalling brush guard and getting all of my accessory wiring back in place after my frame swap. Repainted the plastic above the chrome "bumper" on the front. By the way, Dupli-color Universal Silver Metallic is an extremely close match to Lunar Mist. Good enough for my old truck, for sure.

 

keep using the teflon. Normal grease will attract dirt.

 

dont grease uniballs

 

That's what the zerk fittings are for. Grease for the bushings! Not the Uniballs.

 

I own both, I'll measure the standard cab and the x cab in the morning for you. I'm pretty sure they are the same door.

 

Thank you brother!

 

Thank you!

 

I always gased up at every 1/4 were I had at least 300 miles on mileage A. So I think I could have gotten close to 345 or more if I waited till empty light came on... Didn't want to get stuck on I95 lol

 

Yeah I've replaced many parts. New clutch, flywheel, rear drive shaft,stabilizer links,4 tires,front rotors pads,rear drums /shoes ,brake line, tranny oil, motor oil, aftermarket headlight , LEDs head lights . It drove like a dream.

 

Is that a Suzuki or jimny? I drove a jimny in Costa Rica those things are tough

 

All front door are the same. Other then some minute differences inside. Like speaker hole. But the outer shell is the same part number.

That's was so the uni ball doesn't rust or dirt pasted in, this was recommended by the manuafator.

 

Check engine light came on today p0500
