that just might work!

thanks! than I'm glad I didn't try harder. I'll keep that in mind if I can get back to the 'yard.

good haul hey, are the back area skid strips removable? I couldn't quite figure it out and didn't want to damage the ones in that junkyard 87

you've already got more than I. I have the ax-15 and antilock supplements in my 89 set, but not the student reference book. 89 was the year that the AX-15 came in halfway through so that's probably why it's separate. maybe the antilock needed a supplement too because of changes?

no idea. the cluster was already ripped out of the dash. someone took it, the computer, the lower dash and something in the column and didn't appear to know what they were doing.

was about the only thing salvageable on the front of that 87 XJ but I couldn't figure out how to remove it without breaking it.

kinda figured it would be. decent price for a decent looking tail

I get less nauseous when the camera is stationary

the KJ behaved today. 91* on the return trip from the junkyard and the engine temp needle stayed put and she never went into limp mode. guess it really was time for a new fan clutch. the AC still doesn't work when , but one thing at a time.

nope. just nope.

see the link in my signature there are a few writeups on the 97+ swaps

I've read that 87s were more likely to get a 44. don't have any actual data though. I didn't see any ABS. everything in the pics will eventually be for sale. (except my Libby of course )

huh, I thought it'd be earlier i the model year. oh well. it was still neat to see.

I spent so much time and energy tearing apart the interior I almost forgot to check underneath. thankfully I didn't. the Jeep has a 242 and so has a non-CAD front axle too. it was a neat little Jeep. shame it ended up in the yard.

yeah, that's another item I might go back for.

doesn't get much cleaner than that

2dr Laredo at a local junkyard. curious as to how early of an 87 it is since it has a 4.0 but the front hood prop

I did discover a lot of spray foam inside the otherwise nice passenger door (noise issues?), and the 4.0 engine has a front hood prop. I grabbed the vin so we could see just how early of an 87 it is. also someone's stash of walnuts...

while we're all waiting impatiently for Eaglescout to share his NOS finds, here's my haul for the day. went on a quickie run to a junkyard that had 12 Libertys to grab some tow hooks or skids, and 11 were 2wd and the other was already robbed of the hooks. (still scored a t-case skid). but then I spied an 87 Laredo XJ and beat myself up in the georgia summertime for a few hours. totally worth it and if you're wondering how I stuffed all that into the Libby... I didn't. had to put the front seats on the roof rack. but that's why I have a roof rack not pictured is a steering wheel (someone tore the column apart and ruined it, but left the wheel on the floor), donut spare tire cover, visors, TB, and a bunch of little brackets. miiiight go back another day for the front bumper and the 21 spline 242 t-case. maybe.

you cannot use these for brake lines because they are not made for that amount of pressure, but the clutch line is a lot less and so I don't mind suggesting it.

nice! does the tape deck work? I've seen some new adapters that go right in and give you bluetooth.

I used a brass compression fitting to adapt my old metal clutch line to the plastic line of the new trans. but I also lucked out and had a bleeder on the external slave. apparently they didn't all have them.

I might be in your neck of the woods for a short time in a week or two
