I know a guy who's interested in trading his factory half doors (all 4) for my factory full doors. If I do this, I'd have to paint the new ones to match (since his don't match mine), and I'm guessing I'd need to change the locks somehow to work with my key fob. How the heck would I do that? Anyone have experience in trading doors and know everything I'd need to do to make it work? Thanks.

 

You key fob won't work. Half doors do not have power locks. You can have the cylinders rekeyed to your key. Any locksmith can do that.

 

He has an Unlimited, he'd need to double that $100 for the power latches.

 

Out of curiousity, whats it cost to have that hood painted? I ask only cause i am considering buying one

 

does that power lock kit work for regular manual lock doors? Have any part numbers?

 

Wow!! Is that true!! I just got a half door Rubicon and really struggled on the half doors just because of the power locks. How hard is it it bring the needed wireing to the doors (with me having started with half doors I wont have any wiring already at the door). Can I buy a fob if I dont already have one?

Boy if this is possible I am a HAPPY camper!!

 

I don't think the body computer will allow you to add a Jeep fob if the vehicle didn't come with power locks.
I used the lock output from a Bulldog remote start system to operate my locks.
Remote locking kits can be had on eBay for cheap.

I ordered my power latches from Airpark Chrysler. (chryslerjeepdodgeparts.com) No PNs in the transaction, not even on the receipt. It was all online with a drilldown pick system. Also, there is a parts list floating around this forum that could get you PNs.

Since I already had full doors, I just ran the wires for the power locks with them. (pockets sewn into door straps)

 

$550 to paint just the hood? or was that the doors also? Even still seems a bit steep, what did your local shop want? maybe I should get back into auto body
