Was just reading a full door post and @Bamacon and @Jerry Bransford were talking about changing the tumblers on their door locks to rekey a non original door. I bought full doors on Craigslist a couple years ago for my '97. I had planned on swapping the door locks from my factory half doors to the full doors but they were different sized lock cylinders. I'm not sure the year of the full doors but wondered if anyone can confirm that these changes might have followed the standard changes in our TJs, 1997 - 2002 and 2003 - 2006. I want to order door lock cylinders and try to rekey the full door locks to match my '97 ignition. Thanks for the help.
 
I put a 2000 tailgate on my 04 and the lock cylinder from the 2000 was smaller. I had to enlarge the hole to get my original to fit. The part numbers for the 03-06 are the same.
