That's correct. There's about a 4* difference, YJ's being steeper. The rear upper corner of the YJ doors also went through a change during their run. They started out with squarish corners and went to round much like TJ doors. Also, as mentioned in the link above, the latches were different.… The full doors of the YJ won't fit the TJ unfortunately, I believe it's the angle of the windshield.
Not half doors. Wing windowsBy "wing doors", do you mean the half doors? If so, then you can find these for TJs.
However, if you already have some YJ half doors, someone posted a write-up a while back showing how to fit those on a TJ as well:

You're best bet would be to purchase a pair of CJ/YJ and TJ/LJ full doors off ebay or craigslist. Have a hot rod shop thats willing to do custom work cut the wings out of the CJ/YJ doors and weld them into your TJ/LJ doors. It would require the guts and glass from the YJ door I would think.Will YJ doors fit on a TJ ?
If not what is different?
I want to have wing windows on my TJ ...
Gotcha. That makes sense.Not half doors. Wing windows
The smaller window that would push open in front of the main window
All old cars and trucks had them...
They were great for catching and directing the wind into the vehicle..
No YJ's or TJ's had wing windows. There might be something from the after market but I'm not aware of any. Some of the earlier XJ's had wing windows and they are nice to have.Not half doors. Wing windows

CJ’s and YJ’s did have winged windows. One of my YJ’s has full doors and winged windows. My brother’s YJ has full doors and winged windows...No YJ's or TJ's had wing windows.

I think I misspoke on the YJ doors. Personally I've only had soft doors. I was aware that CJ's had them but again, they wouldn't be of any use on a TJ.CJ’s and YJ’s did have winged windows. One of my YJ’s has full doors and winged windows. My brother’s YJ has full doors and winged windows...
Do those wing/vent windows actually work? I don't see any latches or pivot points. On an XJ for example they are quite obvious. Just curious. If they don't and that's part of the fab work you're talking about above ... you're right BIG BUCK$.A TJ/LJ tub with a CJ/YJ door. Specifically a CJ door. Notice the gap issue at the windshield.

The only way I see it, you have two options. Go for it, slap the CJ/YJ doors on, make some minor modifications to make it open and close. It will be a total budget look and you might have issues with perfecting the gaps. Or go with a custom mod through a hot rod shop willing to take the chop, cut, and welds, making it appear and operate as OEM. ($$$$)
I’m with you, winged windows on a TJ/LJ would be awesome.
I have yet to flip the handles/paddles on my TJ. I never knew it was possible. Never gave it thought, how reliable is the mod once done?Oh man, that's a great idea. I'd love to have the wings again. My '94 YJ had them.
Looks like Morris has the window assemblies. Now someone just need to make them all fit!

You have to bend the bar that pulls the latch a bit to make them work, but otherwise, no other modifications are needed.
Seems some CJ/YJ doors vary. Both mine and my brother’s YJ doors have the winged door with pivots.Do those wing/vent windows actually work? I don't see any latches or pivot points.
