In process of this right now.
Why?
Why not. The LJ door handles have always bugged the wire and I, and they are in desperate need of some grease. Luckily I wasn't wasting too much energy, see how the spot that needs grease is INSIDE the door. Was thinking I needed new handles also, but I think a coat of black rattle can will work wonders!
BTW, this is what I was going off of...

I've actually strained my thumb try to open these doors. The handles are all the same part number.
BTW, the wedges that hold the handle in are some kind of torture device!

Re: TJ full door handle flip
OMG, what a difference!
In the middle of the first door I was really doubting myself. Was it going to be worth all the work?
Absolutely! It's crazy how much this "mod" makes
Re: TJ full door handle flip
Oh, if someone is gonna try this, order door clips before hand. I wasn't able to find the exact door clips listed in the link locally, and the ones I found at the parts store will probably break during installation.

Are TJ half door handles backwards from YJ doors?

Re: TJ full door handle flip
They open by pulling the handle towards the front of the car. I hate it.
Re: TJ full door handle flip
Just dug up a pic of my YJ half doors, same thing. They open towards the front. Never had a problem with the half doors, the latch is super easy on them. The full door latches are heavy, I actually sprained my thumb opening them!
The half door latch might be a similar project.
