Chinese seatbelt:
-
The two door XJ seatbelt is longer/shorter than the MJ - can't remember exact dimensions but it was a little close for comfort so on mine measured the old belt and bought one that was as close as possible - Chinesium unit off of Amazon. On the bench seat the china unit was almost too short on the female side and had to modify the bracket for the retractor to bolt up properly and still not interfere with trim panel. I have a 2 door Cherokee will have to look at that again to see the difference but think the retractor mount is on the floor on the Cherokee & on the MJ it's about half way down the pillar.

That thing looks sick. What a beast.

Something for me to look at, thank you.

Alas, the elusive Yazaki PA mirror switch connector straight from Japan. Had to order 3 so if anyone needs one let me know. -
I don't remember if I saw an answer or not.

Truck lurches after hard stop

My family had temporary lurching issues in our 97 ZJ 4.0L. The issue was a combo of a bad O2 sensor and a cracked header. -

Was it ever confirmed that a 2-door XJ seat belt will fit and work perfectly for the MJs?

I really don't like reviving such old threads, however, I certainly will not be the last person that runs into this issue, and since the question will inevitably be searched up by a future MJ enthusiast, I would like to say something regarding this advice for those who stumble upon this thread. This is the best thing I've read. Let me put it into perspective, if you're stuck on the lower seat belt bolts. 1. This bolt is in a prime spot to not only rust and completely seize up inside the body. The heads by now may be so rotted that no Torx T50 will get a good grip (mine sure we're). And to top it off, I seeing comments that from the factory these bolts were applied thread locker- making them that much harder to remove. 2. The bolt may be so frozen that welding a nut onto it and torquing it may just shear the bolt itself- happened recently to a friend of mine on his truck, actually. So if none of the advice given works. Easy out makes things harder, drill bit hates the ultra hard steel, candle wax won't budge it, liquid wrench doesn't wrench anything... Then you'll be in the same boat that I was. So I used a metal-cutting oscillating saw to hack off the bolts flush with the inside of the truck. Cleaned up the rust, and did exactly what Pete above suggested. Because in the end, it may save time, money, sweat, blood, KNUCKLES, and heartache. Will it it be like it was new? No, and your truck certainly isn't at this point anyway, so save yourselves some agony and just drill a new hole next to the old. There are some battles not worth waging, and some hills not worth dying on. Harsh, but true.

So I just learned the rear bumper I have for my MJ won't work. It came off my parts long bed and and the mounting holes are different on my short bed. I need one ASAP as I have to put my MJ on a boat by the end of May. I was planning for chrome but I can go with black if someone has the matching black front bumper. I can even trade the straight chrome bumpers that I have.

Thanks, I'll try to post the progress!

Yet another bucket seat question

The AZ bit is so true. In 2015/2016 I lived in Flagstaff and frequented Phoenix. I'll always live with the painful reminded of what happened to my thighs as I had to drive a 2004 Mustang GT with charcoal leather seats and the whole car was dark gray in and out. Sage, sage advice.
