Default replacing manual half doors with electric full doors?

I'm looking into trading my half doors for a set of full doors but all I'm running into is doors with power windows. Has anyone done this to know what all I would need to swap out or how much of a pain it's gonna be? I know I would need the center bezel with the switch and I would think a wiring harness.

Idk but I would trade you in a heart beat and give you the switches too as far as wiring harness if it just unplugs if yank that out too!

the trouble comes from the TIPM.

Someone tried adding power windows or something, there's a thread on the forum somewhere. try searching, I'll poke around too.

You can get them in kit form. Pretty easy to assemble. A little expensive, but available.

I'd still like to know before I go that route if I can just swap switches and wiring from the jeep I trade with. It would seem that would be a lot easier and less expensive but I'm just not sure if that will work.
