more like luck of the draw. I just happened to sit down at the laptop at the right time. big props to Facuto for passing it on. not a lot of guys would have done that.

they took my money real enough. and the photo was of a black trimmed MJ light with NOS box sitting next to it. I will keep everyone posted.

when I got to it there was only the 1. we'll see what shows up at my door... if it's a Cherokee light I'm going to be mad.

welp, let's see how real this is...

what tire pressure are you running?

the truck looks fantastic! maybe it's just the photo, but why is only part of your tire tread appear dirty?

it is amazing what a coat of paint will do for looks be sure to poke around the forums for the thread on engine mileage. yours is definitely up there are you the original owner?

welcome to the addiction! looks like you licked up a great survivor there and you should definitely start a build thread on the Cherokee in the "other projects" forum so we can see more details of your hard work.

someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe there are 2 different lengths of sunvisors. you'll want to measure yours to make sure you get the right ones.

how bad do the cylinder walls look? Tech questions from the OP should really go in the Tech forum so more eyes will see 'em.

you are most welcome.

No Thomas trains here (though my nephews did like the show when they were little). We use the Lionel Torpedo. it's got a legit 4 wheel drive! though some brands of track don't fit the wheels quite right in the curves.

try swapping them with each other

so your hazards do in fact work? did you change the correct flasher pot?

There was a time I was into HO stuff, but this is more my style these days. bought a couple AA powered locomotives (sure wish I had those when I was a kid!) and I get to set up and re-imagine all sorts of different layouts with my nephews. this is the end loop of a track we ran clear to the other side of the house (nearly 100 ft of track). yes I frequent garage sales

everything that's MJ-specific and/or an original part is a highly coveted item and extremely hard to find.

I would believe that there are 200k people in this world that would plunk down a C-note for a chance to have the brand-new-next-newest-latest thing. doesn't really matter what it is.

if you can afford it, there is literally no reason I can think of to not do a military wrap.

looks like you've found yourself a couple solid projects there congrats!

I have great fear that at any moment this might suddenly cost waaaay more than I'm able to give it. But until then we'll soldier on as best we can.

yeah, the CRD engines have a long list of "while you're in there..." items. we had the water pump done with the first timing belt change. getting close to needing a 3rd belt though.

ummm... not sure what the overall plan is with this one...

have you gotten to drive on snow tires yet? my old minivan (the only thing I've been able to put snow tires on) DOMINATED the white stuff and was an absolute joy to drive no matter how nasty the weather. (I don't have a minivan GIF so you'll have to pretend that's a silver Town-n-Country ) just be sure to wash out your rockers (there's a tiny access hole near the back), frame, doors, and above the rear tires inside the bed. Our trucks rot from the inside-out and flushing them out will go a long way towards preventing the rust from starting.

indeed it is got my first transmission code today. yay. low input voltage to the TCU or some such thing. I'll look it up tomorrow.
