Replaced the 20 year old paper factory speakers with some pioneer speakers from walmart. Not a fan of pioneer speakers but for $65 for all four speakers i can't complain... ;)

Mounted and balanced my new-to-me wheels 8)

snagged a legitimate cap for my clutch master cylinder reservoir. Also snagged a few blue buzz boxes so I know when i leave my headlights on, started gathering parts for installing factory power locks.

That's what I was afraid of. The cross-body harness was mentioned in the other posts. Wasn't sure if that's what I had or not. Oh well, that xj should still be there thursday. and i get to weep over its destroyed red/houndstooth lovely 86 interior lol

I've searched this topic and the only things i found were getting 97+ locks/windows to work or just xj/mj power window swaps. Nothing on this type of swap. I went to pull-a-part this morning and found a few items for my truck. One of these finds came from an 86 Cherokee. It was equipped with crank windows, but factory power locks. I removed everything I thought I would need from the cherokee: Lock actuators, connecting rods, handles/switches, all connected wires. I have pics below of all the components. I thought this would be a simple "plug and play" add on like everything else is with these trucks. When I got home however I found there was not harness to connect the door lock system to the truck. Any help in getting this hooked up would be appreciated. Pic of passenger side kick panel just showing what we're working with: Same with driver side: "New" driver side handle with lock switch: Passenger side: Back of lock switch showing 6 pins: Driver Side Door Connections: (Switch, Actuator, and Speaker) Pigtail that connected at the kick panel on the cherokee. Red, Green, and Tan wires. I believe the green and tan at this harness were for the driver's rear door actuator. In the background you can see the other side of the speaker harness. One of the black wires from the switch is connected at that harness. Another view of harness: Passenger side Door connections: (Switch and actuator) -(left speaker connector out of pic to be able to tell the difference) Harness that connected at the passenger kick panel on Cherokee. Should be for passenger rear door lock actuator: Alternate View: Basically I need to know If i'm missing more wires i need to take from the xj, or if I need to fabricate a connection using what I have. And on a side note this is all one harness. Both sides are connected and the wires ran under the carpet on the xj. And additional information, this in going in the 89 mj with manual locks and windows atm. Oh, I was able to jump the red wire from the drivers side harness to a connection on the fuse block and was able to test the actuators, would only unlock, no lock. So I may have been headed in the right direction...

I just saw a 1989 Comanche posted on the Atlanta craigslist. From the pics it looks to be the longbed version. But I didn't know that particular steering wheel was available in '89. Both mine have the 3-spoke design. Truck looks a little rough for $1800 but thought i'd post it anyway for you guys. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/1570266089.html

Sweet, I'm gonna go check it out tomorrow morning and see if they're still there. I'm pretty close by and haven't been in a while

We're heading into the 10th day of no one doing anything to their MJ?!?! The world just doesn't seem as bright.... On a side note, I ordered a new radiator for mine

Replaced coolant recovery tank cap, thermostat (double checked that I put it in right side up), coolant temp switch, fan clutch, bled system and still overheating. Only link left in the chain is the radiator, I think. Looks like I can pick up one off ebay for about 60-70 shipped. So I'll try that route next. And my aux fan relay will be in this evening so hopefully the fan will kick on properly now.

Sorry for the delay in responding! I start a thread and then abandon it for 2 days... :shake: No I haven't got an infrared thermometer to test for hot spots that way. Guess its time to invest in one of those. That will def help me track down stopped up passages in the radiator. I'll pull the t-stat too and make sure its operating properly. And yes I know its a pressure tank, sorry about improper term there :doh: It doesn't leak, the system maintains pressure fairly well. I may see if I can pick up a new cap though. Local parts stores don't carry the whole tank, but I may be able to get the cap in the section with all the "help!" products. I was told if the fan clutch was bad, the fan would spin pretty freely. It doesn't, but I also don't notice the fan speed varying any at different temps. I'm going to replace all parts of the cooling system eventually, just trying to nail down the biggest problem first so I can get it back on the road. (After I get the interior back in it anyway)

According to the FSM the aux fan is supposed to cut on at 190. It will get as hot as I let it. I usuallý turn it off amd let it cool down once it redlines. And it does it at all speeds, but faster when its sitting still.so yes its overheating.

I have an '89 4.0L Auto w/AC, original "closed" cooling system What I have done so far: replaced water pump, lower radiator hose, lower hose from firewall to factory "t" connector, thermostat. Aux fan does not come on at 190 like it should, but does operate with A/C on, so while that is a problem, its not causing the main problem. System maintains pressure fairly well. only loses 1 or 2 lbs after a minute or so. Not sure if that is enough to worry about. The only thing I can think of to try is replace fan clutch or the reservoir bottle. (since the system seems to maintain pressure this is the less likely source i think) I have bled the system by removing the coolant temp sensor on the top of the engine with the front end angled down, and also again by removing the upper hose from the t-stat housing. So shouldn't be any air pocket problems. If anyone can offer any other suggestions, or common problems they've had, that would be greatly appreciated!

Sanding rust out of floorboards till 1AM, that counts as today right?

It was me. I work in Mcdonough area. You can see it parked everyday at the Stormwater department. Cool, completely overlooked that you were in Stockbridge. I'll honk if I see you driving around! It'll be a while before I can be seen in mine though... :roll:
