anyone else have any ideas i'm stuck
I just put in these pioneers front and back a couple months ago. Back was easier than front. No cutting, I did drill some mounting holes however.

sweet thanks
you can fit a 6.5 in shallow mount in the front and rear doors, 5.5 is closer to stock size
I didn't want to cut or drill my door panel or door either, so I fit a set of 4" Polk Audio speakers in the back doors (DB401). I did have to cut out the basket and glue the new speakers to the baskets though.
I did this a number of years ago, so I'm not sure if those speakers are still made or not.

what kind of glue did you use thanks
I don't remember. It may have just been something like the GOOP automotive glue. Whatever it was it's held up.

I designed and printed an adapter to expand the rear speaker options.
Are you going to sell those? I happen to be attempting the 6" speaker in the rear door right now. Thanks if so DM me

They're still a work in progress, but I'll keep you posted.
TexasKnowHow on youtube has a method to do it leaving them almost 100% OEM looking. It's hard to find a speaker that will fit perfectly because of the lack of depth inside the door panel, so he adds a wood ring spacer he puts behind a couple of them to make them sit right and using the OEM grille. That's the route i'm going for.
Just finished front and back door speaker replacement on my ‘94 FZJ80. Front door holes are very shallow per window track behind it, ergo the funny pancake OEM’ s. I found as others have that Pioneer TS-G1645 6.5“ speakers work fine without any door frame or panel modification. Just break off the four mounting ears attached to the speaker rim and use 1”-#12 sheet metal screws through existing holes in the speaker rim that align perfectly with the mounting holes used by the old OEM speakers. There are a lot of posts about the back door 4” speakers requiring the back of the existing plastic speaker basket be cut away so it can be reused if one wishes to retain the OEM grills. A Dremel works real well here. I used Pioneer TS-G1020s 4”. There is some minor fitment required to anchor the speaker in the modified basket. Break off one mounting ear, bend the other three backward 90 degrees and use small screws or rivets to anchor speaker in the basket using care to not block the holes where the grill tabs go. As I said there a lot of threads about this with pictures.
