Does anyone know where I can get a Cherokee XJ drivers door in good condition for a decent price (under 80 dollars)? Thank you for looking and for your help.

I do not know where they came from, my jeep was already built the way it is when I bought it on July 03, 2012. I do know that Harbor freight and Orshlein carry Jerry Cans for fuel, if you want just sand a red one down and paint it blue for water. I have one for water and one for fuel and I am debating on making them both fuel.

Rob, I think I saw you in your Jeep last night at Fort & Battlefield.  I was in the Silver TJ making the U-turn to avoid the 'Charlie Foxtrot' at Battlefield & Kansas.  I live just south of there.  We'll be at SMORR next weekend in our red LJ, hope to see you guys there!

Yes, That was me that made a UTurn right in front of you. Now that we are not strangers I will be calling you soon to set up for SMORR.

I forgot about Harbor Freight having those I'm gona take a look there tomorrow. I still got some stuff to do like recovery points for the front, and a cooler for water. It sucks that I can only wheel on friday but its going to be a blast! Looking forward to seeing everyone on the trail. And that tip paid off getting the door on sunday.

Also @ Donut Harbor freight has thte 2" hitch receptacle with a D ring attached but if you want D rings, I found the best assortment of them at Orshlen in Republic, but I am sure that Race Brothers on Kearney St would also have them.

I was at Orshlen's yesterday going to go back there today to pick up some 1/4 inch thick steel plates to mount put some hooks or d rings. I  work across the street at walmart in electronics and yes I got a door today just gotta convert it over to electric and I'll be good to go thank you for the tip man. If ya come into walmart in electronics, my name's Daryl I'm there almost everyday.

Give me a day or two and I may have a set or some that are already done - hinges that is.  I had one that I built removeable hinges for a long time ago.  I may still have them.  I will check.

Update: took the jeep out to the steam engine show in republic today. Did great in the mud. That stuff was slick and deep, all it did was float on top
