Product Description
1997-2006 Wrangler TJ Lower Door Trim: 2-Piece Lower Kit, 3" (TH45091)
For the Jeep Wrangler TJ two-door SUV from 1997 to 2006, TH45091 is a pair of polished stainless steel pieces, 3" wide, that run along the bottom of each door. The note says the trim "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width," so the bottom edge of the steel follows the door's lower edge.
One piece per door
The record lists two pieces and the vehicle has two doors. The data doesn't spell out which piece goes where, so match each one against the product photos and the shape of your doors before peeling.
Door bottom, not rocker
This is the door-mounted option. Its linked sibling, TH45090, is a four-piece kit at 4.25" that installs below the door, on the rocker. If what you want covered is the body under the door opening, that's the other kit. The record doesn't say whether the two can be installed together; ask at 877-752-3811.
Check the bottom edge
Because the steel lines up with the door's lower edge, that edge needs to be straight and clean. Open each door and look underneath. Dents, chips or rust along the bottom will show through the line of the trim, so fix them first. Then measure 3" up from the edge on each door and make sure that band is flat enough to take the pieces.
If your doors aren't original
The fitment lists the TJ two-door. If your Wrangler has aftermarket doors, half doors, or doors from another model, the record doesn't cover them. Call 877-752-3811 with photos.
What it's made of
The two 3" Wrangler TJ strips are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel cut in the USA, rising from the door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the 1997-2006 Jeep.
Cleaning the band
Wash the lower door, rinse, dry, and wipe the whole 3" band with isopropyl alcohol. Work right down to the edge.
Putting it on
Tape one piece in place with painter's tape, close the door, and check the gap to the rocker and fender. Then open the door, peel a little liner, set one end flush with the bottom edge, and press along as the liner comes away. Firm pressure over the whole piece finishes the job.
Close the door and look
Once both are on, open and close each door a few times and watch the trim at the gaps. Nothing should rub. Wait a day before washing.

Ongoing care
Mild soap and water, a soft cloth, and a dry towel. Skip abrasive pads.
Weather
Choose a dry, mild day or a garage for the install.
A second pair of hands
Having someone hold the door steady and watch the bottom edge while you set each piece makes it easier to keep the steel flush with the lower edge from end to end.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
