I got the front doors, and fenders today. At some point they will go on my Comanche. Maybe by this winter or during this winter Ill get all my stuff put on the truck including the 4x4 conversion. here's some more pics. THE DOORS AND FENDERS AND THE POOR BASTARD IT ALL CAME FROM AND ITS PERFECT INTERIOR Cash for clunkers claims another rust free XJ, one of 4 on our lot, not including 2 ZJ's WHAT A WASTE

Do you know why it won't run yet? Electrical? Engine internal? Fuel system?

Here are a couple pics of some of the parts I took off of the Wagoneer. The grille, bumper, and skid plates. I'm going to try to get the front doors with power windows, locks and vent windows too, and probablt the right front fender with the power antenna seeing as how mine in crushed in. Too keep this tech, is it very hard to wire in the power locks and windows, Ive yet to do a search because I don't have the doors yet. Thanks Guys!

This is what weve had to resort to.....

I found my camera, I'm going to get pics tommorow, maybe even do the swap too if I can sneak the truck in the shop. We havent been very busy so should be no problem! :brows:

Best Ive ever used have been Delco's. I'm not a GM person at all, but Ill take me a Delco battery!

Never read it, but in Junior high school, I think 7th grade, they showed the movie version to us in english class. Messed Up stuff! That was probably back in 1985 or so? Theres no way they would show that anymore in schools today.

I saw a lifted H2 this morning.........STUPIDEST LOOKING THING IVE EVER SEEN!!!!!! And minibeast.... send Pete some food money!!!! :yes: :yes: :yes:

Any updates?

I attempted to get my parking brake to work by adding sleeves to the main cable to take up for the longer rear axle cables that came with the 410 axle. It worked for a litlee while, but kept going loose after a few applications. I noticed that the cable where they go into the backing plates are collapsing on themselves...the outer sleeve that is. I guess its time for new cables. I also replaced my missing alternator bolt, put a new one in and then double nutted it. That should keep the alternator in place and the belt tight!

How did you come up with her name... it is very unique. My daughter, Ghia, was born Oct 21st last year..... they definitely change your life, thats why I offered you my condolences, because your life is over as you knew it. I know just about anyone would say its for the better, and I hope it is, but I still worry. I don't doubt mine or my wifes parenting abilities... my worries lie with the rest of the world and what effect it is going to have on her and us. I gotta stop watching the news....... :( IGNORANCE IS BLISS! :shake:

Those same bulbs were in 88-89 chevy pickups, and later camaros, there ought to at least a few aftermarket upgrades, thanks for the links!

We just got back from vacation and I can't find my camera, so I won't be able to get pics of the new parts right away. But the more I see , the more I want to do this conversion. The header panel is even the right color already! Thanks guys! :thumbsup:

If I don't like it, I figure I can always change back. We'll see what happens when I get there. :cheers:

No cutting here, just disconnected! No worries! :thumbsup:

I was told that if I was going to do this, that I should do it quick, so Ive been working during lunch, pulled the grille, the chrome bumper, skid plates, chrome mirrors, visor clips, radio, clock, cig lighter, dual tone horns. It has 6 way power leather seats that are spotless and full center console. Oh by the way, it is a 1986 Wagoneer limited, with 2.8 V6, auto trans and 228 transfer case. It also has chrome door handles, but I don't think Ill be able to get them due to time constraints. RUST FREE!!! :( :( :( Untouched, unabused XJ going to be scrapped. Ill try to get pics later if I can. R.I.P. :(

I'm not sure I completely like it either, but Ive always been curious to see how it would look. I know Ive seen it on here before, just thought it would give me an option if the price is right!

Cash for clunkers claims another XJ, But gives me a chance to get a wagoneer grille. Does anyone know what all I will need from it to put it on my 87 2.5? I assume I just need the whole fiberglass header assy with all the headlights etc, but will it bolt to my 87 core support the same? Thanks for the help guys, Ill let you know when I get it, If I get it! :cheers:

That is soo cool! Beautiful pics! :clapping:

My dealer has yet to ruin any engines, but the dealer owner is wasting no time in securing good parts that he can sell used through the body shop. I'm talking truck bed, fenders, hoods, grilles, wheels, tires... Part of me wishes that doing that is illegal and that he'll get popped, but I think that is mostly because I aint gettting any of the cool parts. :???:

Do we have any pictures yet?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

What are your plans for it in the long run? Are you going to start a build thread or have you already and I just havent been there yet? :yes:

As a recent new father... You have my condolencees. :(

I was wrong! Evidently we taken in 3 XJ's, at least one of which is a real beauty! And the guy who traded it in is in the shop right now having his new Patriot :ack: fully accesorized! Freakin bastard anyways! We have yet to ruin the engines on any of our turn ins, but it is in the works. :( :( :(

:yes:
