Well, there's $160 I may as well have just thrown in the street....
Ummm...return them? Are you sure you didn't order the wrong parts? I
think there are just door lowers and two piece doors, but I don't have a 5 so I don't pay attention to the specifics.

I have some soft doors for a CJ5. Where are you?
I have tan (spice) lowers for sure, and I should have a set of black uppers and lowers hiding somewhere. I destroyed my soft top several years ago, and never replaced it. The doors survived the ordeal, but they require a top to be useful so they went into a long-forgotten corner of my garage. If you want them, I can dig around the garage.

I must have tossed the black doors. They were "well loved", and probably
needed to be tossed. I do have the tan (spice) lowers though. I can't use them, so you can have them for the shipping costs. If you are local enough to come over and pick them up, they are yours.
