- In this episode we reassemble the hard doors that were used from76-81. In 81/82, AMC went to the paddle handled doors and ventable front 1/4 windows. I have a video in my collection of the disassembly of that type of door. Below are links to the gaskets and seals that I used for this project.

Dude you make me want to bring my CJ to you so you can help me lol. These videos on the doors really helped me. Gave me exactly what I was looking for in the how the seals worked and where they go.
I’m thrilled in the fact that these videos help. I don’t know if I’d trust myself with someone else’s CJ :)
Great work cool guy!
This video helped sooo much!
Glad to be of service.
Idk where i would be with your videos. Thanks a ton man
I’m assuming that you find them helpful :)
@@coolguy_CJ7 seriously man . You take so much stress out of my life when i run into a problem with my cj7. Thanks man .
Happy to help. I’ve got more coming. I just need to find the time to do them.
@@coolguy_CJ7 when ever you can haha.im slow building mine so its perfect
Awesome! I will have to poke my outer door gasket back in a little on my ‘77. Its attached, but when I close door and it now bulges out a little. Hmmm
Getting these CJ hard doors to align right and gaskets to sit perfect is one of the most time consuming and frustrating parts of my restoration.
Great Video! Helped me a ton. One recommendation is to use some sort of soap for lubrication. Also, I didnt mark which side of the door each window went too. It took me a second to realize theres a differnence when putting it back together.
Maybe I didn’t explain in the video well enough, but I thought I talked about using dish soap (Dawn) as the lubricant. I’ll have to go back and rewatch myself :) and you are absolutely correct about the windows. They not only have a bend to them, but the bottom of the window can only fit one way with the door frame. Should’ve called that out in the video.
@@coolguy_CJ7 No you did great. Video rocks! I had a horrible time putting the channels in is all. Thank you so much!
@@vonwilcken555 Good to know. Always looking for ways to improve. :)
👍👍
great vid just stripped my doors getting them ready for paint, just thinking did you do the coating and sealing and then paint inside and out, as mine has a load of looks like old waxoil type goo inside , not sure which order to do first, thanks for your help hopefully cheers
Sorry so late in response. My order would be this…
1) remove all hardware (windows, handles, bolts, screws, gaskets…etc)
2) strip all coatings (choice of process is up to you) acid bath, sandblast, wire rush and paint stripper)
3) spray all seams with east woods internal frame coating or rust converter/sealer. To the point where it drips out.
4) apply primer/sealer
5) paint
6) reassemble
There’s a few smaller details in the but you get the idea. For the wax coating, you should be able to bake it off.
Thank you for all the videos. I am working on a 78 with the same style doors as you just reassembled. Where did you get the Window Bumper both of mine are nice and rotted. Thanks again for all the great videos.
All of the gaskets were Fairchild. Either Rock Auto or Amazon if Rock Auto didn’t have them. Let me know if you can’t find them.
Thanks again for another great video. I'm stuck on my install. I just put in the fixed vent and the track next to the fixed vent does not want to pop I to the window rail slot. What's the trick to get the gasket into the slot rail? I'm forcing it in but nervous I'm gonna break it
So your question was like a month ago… Sorry. Did you get this resolved?
@@coolguy_CJ7 Yes and thanks for answering me back. I was able to grease up the molding for the fixed vent and had to apply some pressure. Got them both on and I am good to go.
Great stuff. I am in the process of planning to do a restoration of my Dad's 82 CJ7 that he willed to me. One thing that I noticed is now rough the movements were for the hardware after 40yrs. I was carefully watching you install the hardware and noticed that you did not video the addition of lubrication to any of the hardware. In this case the window gear. My door is a bit more complex in regard to moving parts. More aligned with the door used in your harddoor disassembly that had the moving vent window. So in short, do you apply any type of lubrication to the internals on any of the doors you reassemble?
Adding lithium grease to any latching components or gears is recommended.
Hi Jeeping cool guy, can you please send me the information on the right side inner door handle assembly from Ray Moulton.
I've been looking all over the web to find that?
What an awesome video!
Are you looking for Rays contact info?
If you look on FB marketplace right now there is a set for sale: facebook.com/marketplace/item/1549352452572524/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks
Can you upgrade the style of door handle if I have an 83 but get the doors off a 79 can I upgrade to paddle handles so it looks same as 83 ?
Not that I know of. The inner working and handle configurations are not compatible.
@@coolguy_CJ7 Thanks I'm picking up a set of 79CJ doors for a good price tomorrow can't beat it. So I guess I'll just use them for now if there's no way to change out the handle maybe if I'm still worried about it then. I'll sell those doors and buy a set of new one's off an 82 or newer
I couldn’t find the video of this door’s disassembly, was it not posted or filmed?
Didn’t film it. I apologize. I did film the 81-86 paddle handle doors because they are a lot more complicated with the locking and handle complements.

There is a lot that crosses over in this video. Hope this helps.
Hey jeep ing cool guy I need help where do I find those door latches the chrome thing you installed on the inside of the door I've had no trouble finding the outside handle but I've had no luck finding the inside piece to buy on a 81 model cj7 please help
Greetings. Nobody makes those as aftermarket and there isn’t any other options for that style of door handle. So, I recommend that you reach out to Ray Moulton. He is the best in the business and has everything. Great with prices and shipping. Email me at dellis6914@gmail.com and I’ll give you his contact info.
Your other option is to hopefully find a set on FB market place and pay a small mortgage for them. :)
@@coolguy_CJ7 lol on the small mortgage I'll email as soon as I can ✌ 😎 👌
Where can I find the full door latch mecanism?
The outer door handle I believe is available through most of the off road companies. The inner locking mechanism is OEM only. Nobody reproduces them. :( email me at dellis6914@gmail.com and I can send you a name and number of a guy who is incredible with parts and prices.
Nice job, good video. Where did you source your fixed window rubber? Also, did you re-build your latches? I looked through your videos but was unable to find where you worked on them, mine are in desperate need of a re-build, so any info would be great. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
I carefully removed my fixed window gaskets so as to reuse them since they were still very pliable. Rock Auto has them if you need new ones though. In regards to the door handles, I sand blasted mine, then soaked them in a degreaser for a few hours, rinsed out all the blasting media and then powder coated them aluminum silver. Lastly, I lubricated them up really well. You can drill out the pop rivets and open it up easily enough. I did that on a spare just to see what the inside looked like.
