I have a '99 TJ with factory half doors. Found a set of '05 full doors that I am restoring and I ordered a set of cylinder locks for them as the previous owner had deleted the locks and installed a central locking thingy that's very broken.

Unfortunately, I ordered the DL22 '99 cylinders from Rock Auto https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=42910&cc=1431777&pt=10007&jsn=11 when I should have ordered the DL127 cylinders https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=443498&cc=1430906&pt=10007&jsn=2184

Anyone happen to know what the difference is and can I shoehorn the DL22 style locks into my '05 doors?

Also - the short link wire from the lock to the door mechanism is missing - anyone have a decent high-res image of what it should look like and I will try to fab a new one up.

Half door locks are the same, full door locks are the same.

@Jerry Bransford (and anyone else following along at home!), I can 100% confirm that the locks for the 97-00 doors do NOT fit the later doors. The barrel of the older lock mechanism is undersized compared to the later ones and it doesn't key into the opening in the door. Not a lot but enough to make them unusable which is why there are two different models for sale I guess...
 
Having the same issue. The previous owner added full doors to my 03 so the key is different. Took the cylinder out of the origonal half doors he gave me when I bought the jeep and they are two different diameters. Does anyone know if the tumbler can be reset to match the key or am i purchasing a new set and carrying two keys?
