Passenger door actuator needs to be replaced but the door will not open for me toinstall new actuator?? any tips on opening the door?

 

What year? What have you tried to do to open it so far?

 

2004, have tried key fobs, master switch and holding the lock up while trying to open door??

 

Boy do you have a problem, I don't know how you are going to get the the actuator without getting the door open and removing the panel.

 

Mike,
lol, thats what i was thinking, I did talk to a buddy who is a mechanic at a LR dealer and he said to keep holding the lock up and trying the handle and sometimes it will catch, if not he said he has had to break the lock to open the door.
On another note, this DII is completly stock now, but I am going to get it trail ready, after reading some of your posts, you would recommend a 2' lift which is what i was going to do anyway, but what size tire do you recommend? I have seen anywhere from 265's to 285' and 31's?
