this is regarding a '01 trooper. if you'll look at this '93 rs trooper (the pic is about half way down) you'll notice it has an interior rear door latch. how difficult, do you reacon, would it be to add this feature to my '01? the reason i ask is if i ever add that 3rd row it would be great to have a latch for exiting.

thanks
joel

Beautiful Trooper! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

If you can acquire the doorskin, latch, etc. I bet you could make it look stock. Acquiring those parts is gonna be WAY difficult, though...

Based on the way the Trooper rear doors work, I think this would be easy enough to do with simple hand tools. Latches generally use a push/pull rod that is pretty simple. Pull the doorskin and see what you've got, I bet you could retrofit a latch and lock with relative ease....
