Questions & Answers
The bumpers I put on my TJ are not from any particular year, but I don't understand why it matters. I guess it could be called a generic door knocker since it's nothing more than a piece of webbing doubled over and stitched every half inch or so to make the door post slots.
The answer is yes. Unfortunately, I couldn't use it because it was too large for my 1997 TJ. You need to have an iPhone or iPad 2011 or above to use this.
The answer is NO. The period covered is Both the CJ6 and the Wrangler are 2006 models. Wires were fed through braided straps after 2007, in addition to the wires inside.

I edited it These straps have just been on for just a few months and the stitching between three sections has completely broken down, negating the benefits of this product over just OEM straps. Neither does my wife open her TJ's door in a manner that could damage the strap, nor does she ever park on an incline that might increase the weight of the door and cause it to dislodge Two stars, though it is a very long strap, for the fact it still functions as a strap. Unless this can handle some gentle daily use over the course of a few months, they should beef up its design. The doors on our 2000 TJ swung open WAY too far (120 degrees, if I remember correctly). We had some aftermarket straps that adjusted the opening angle. I thought these were a good option and they have proven to be effective Those who are hesitant should be aware of these warnings. Straps like these allow the door to be opened wide if you choose to configure it this way. It was damage to the door itself caused by the straps we had before. It was the weight of the door (if you're on an inclined plane) swinging open and having such a large travel that caused the metal near the bracket (and the bracket itself) that held the strap to bend--see the photo below for an example. We did not really pay attention to that until we had these installed. So I guess I will just have to get half doors to solve the problem! My advice is to limit the angles of these to 90 degrees at the most and not go beyond that, otherwise your doors will be at risk.
Because my original straps wore through the webbing, I replaced them with this pair. However, the webbing did not break because it is much thinner than the original factory design. In fact, the aftermarket straps seem to be a bit longer than they need to be, so when the stitches break, the door swings too far and hits the front of the Jeep. It may be due to the thinner webbing that there is an excess of stretch. These lasted about a day and a half It took them about 1/2 year, which is not bad for the price, but they had problems the first time under a lot of The factory design for these pockets had one continuous loop of webbing sewn shut in the middle, whereas these pockets were stitched apart. Since this design uses stitching instead of folded over webbing sewn together, all of the stress placed on the stitching is borne by the stitching, which makes it much weaker.
While this strap may not seem like much, if you lose it (or break it, as in my case) you'll regret not having We did not have to use them, and our 2006 Jeep Wrangler doors opened all the way. In most cases, they can be installed quite easily. It was quite easier to attach to the door part. A few screws had to be removed, but I was able to do it pretty The doors are less likely to flap open now that this is on! This device appears to be very durable, and I appreciate the ability to adjust according to my needs. As a result, I put the door on the second to last option, which opens it That is why I would recommend this product highly.
I went to the secondary loop because these broke in hours when I was parking at an angle in the mountains. The secondary loop lasted for a few more weeks because I was stopping at an angle and doors needed limiting there more frequently. I found these to be light duty at best and not OEM quality - even OEM had failings, even in my case.
My hole tore through to the next hole just over two months after I started using it. There is now even more room to walk through my door than Please do not Not because it was caught in the wind, but just because it was Even though it looked like it would rip through, I thought it had to work, since people were buying them. Now that the door is open, look how far it opens. It took me longer to put on the old ones now that I need to put on the new ones back.
After seeing all the positive reviews for this product, I thought it would be good, but it didn't sit up to my expectations. The stitching on it is cheap, so the first wind gust pulled the door back and popped the stitching on the first entry hole. As long as I leave it on, I think, fine, one's not too bad. As luck would have it, the next time there was a slight wind, it popped or tore the stitches on the next barrier hole and the door flipped over onto the driver's side. Although it was a good thing a car wasn't parked next to me, I'm absolutely not satisfied with this product.
We are down to one left. On the passenger side, after a regular 10th opening with no problems, after the 11th opening there was a sudden rip of the seams from about the medium setting It is for this reason that we have these in place - the door swung open a bit violently at that time, isn't it? Rather than try to fix the strap by flipping it around, I decided to reattach it We were able to do this because of the location of the torn seams. The second strap of the pair has not been used yet. I plan to keep that in all, the initial rip happened much more quickly and easily than I anticipated.
As soon as I installed them, I was disturbed by the low quality of the webbing. The straps will be putting a lot of torque on them when the doors open. The straps are thin and I wasn't expecting this. In fact, the bar tacks on the straps are just zigzag stitch patterns and not actual bar tacks. As an owner of thousands of nylon/spectra and webbing products, I have seen countless bar tacks over the years. Since I knew they would fail before they were even installed, I did not waste any time installing However, it wasn't worth the energy to return for 6 dollars. After installing them late that evening, I turned off the computer. In the early afternoon the next day, I saw the driver's side was ripped apart and the stitching had blown out, exactly as I had anticipated. They are just poorly built. I had never had heavy winds catch the door, nothing slammed or was twitched. I had only been in and out of the car four times when they did this.
