1983 cj7 , six cylinders , 5 speed , 2.5 inch skyjacker suspension lift , 2 inch body , 35 x 12.50 x 15's ,one piece axles , just bought this cj after PO stored for the past 25 yrs ,
I noticed on some of the pictures on this site that a cj Limited has hard doors with the mirror attached to the door. Did these cj's come with these doors ? I just purchased doors with these mirrors and they also have the pin stripe on the door. Are they from a Limited ?
 
The Limiteds did come with the little flag mirrors on the doors. I think some of the early YJ's did too, so your doors could be Limited doors from a CJ or early YJ doors.
 
If you end up selling them let me know. This is an item I need. Also the interior panels should have a small pad that goes from the door panel up to the window. Lets see some pics.

The guy I bought them from is dropping them off on Friday. I will post pics as soon as I get them. I will need to change my latch post also. The guy I bought them from retired from Jeep after 30 yrs. He has so many parts which are rust free. He is my new best friend. I also picked up the plastic original storage tote that I asked about in a previous post. He had maybe 7 sets of hard doors in his garage , plus a rust free frame and several rust free tubs. Its like I died and went to heaven
 
What color were they anyway?

If they dont work out , you will be the first to know.
 
If they were Silver with the Slate blue panels in the shape your explaining I would have to send you back to him for another set so I could buy yours. :D

Its been about 3 weeks since I went and looked at them. Not 100% sure on the color. I guess thats what happens when you get old
 
Is there a way to tell if they are from a Limited or a yj ? I think a Limited because all of his parts are cj parts , I didnt see any newer stuff
 
The easiest way to tell will be by that upper pad on the iside that goes to the window. Heres a pic of what the top pad looks like if you peek over to the passenger side door. Im interested in anything that matches this interior color as well. Id love to find a Slate Blue center console as well. Did he have any seats??

Yes he had seats. He said he was going to put on black upper pads to match my cj
 
:bang: I really wish I could see what this guy has. Never would think that youd run into a bunch of rust free Cj parts in Michigan , did you? :)

I spent 3 hours just looking at everything he had. Some of it I couldnt even get to. I told him he is sitting on a gold mine. It scares me that he is 85 and he said his wife has no idea what is out here.
 
I think I have stumbled onto a 1983 Limited . It belonged to my brother-in-law and it became too much of a project for him. So, I ended up with his mess. It was originally a grayish color and it did have the Limited stripes under the camo colored paint. However, the trim tag code shows the color to be 9E. I have not been able to find that color in the 1983 color chart. That color was offered in 1979 as Wedgewood Blue. The VIN clearly shows it to be an 83 model. Does anyone know what color I have? Also, I know this thread is really old but did you end up with any more of those Limited parts or are they still available? I have included two photos of my trim tag. One is reversed because it is easier to see.
