so i am moving back to texas late next year.

i want to take the jeep back to texas, which will include a 24 hour drive from nny to houston.

ive done it twice now in the intrepid without stopping except for gas, but in the jeep im probably going to get a room at least twice.

anyways so i was planning on selling my wifes intrepid before we left, and putting the proceeds towards a hard top so the noise levels will be bearable for myself, wife, son, and dog (small dog)= know it sounds cramped, but well make it lol.

so i ran into a guy who is willing to swap his hard top for my soft top. i like the idea because it has a roof rack on it, defroster, and wiper.

he wanted to swap doors also, but ill never be able to find half doors in teal again, and ill find a used soft top back in houston no problem.

so will my soft doors fit with his hard top?

will they swap out easily or is there a difference in years? its a tj but i dont know what year.

thanks
