Have you tried lubing the cable ? -
Help removing the defrost trim panel
Strokermjcomanche replied to 88mjblue's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
If the heater core is original ( and it's still apart ) you might want to replace it anyhow while you're in there . -
I drove it up and down the street at 35 mph tops and it rode well , but have yet to get it up to freeway speeds . I used two angle finders , one on the spring perch of the old axle and the other parallel with two of the diff cover bolts and transferred that angle to the 8.25 . I didn't fully weld the perches in case I have to change the angle if I get driveline vibrations .

Help removing the defrost trim panel
Strokermjcomanche replied to 88mjblue's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
There are (4 or 5 ) clips that hold that trim piece to the dash , they are the same type of clip that holds the radio / gauge cluster bezel . Pulling the trim straight up towards the windshield is how the clips should come out . If your plastic is brittle it may break so try to take it off as careful as you can -
Looks good Pete !!

Strokermjcomanche replied to madog7200's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I'm guessing that you're looking for a pair of silver / chrome trimmed lights ? 5 minutes of searching found this pair ( not chrome ) for $75 + shipping ( Ontario I know ) but how much could that possibly be ? Not $225 -
Ice cream anyone ?

Strokermjcomanche replied to madog7200's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
If you can get the part numbers that are on the black part of the taillight it will tell you what trim they were ( the pics are not clear enough for me to see them ) . Btw if you post a wanted ad on here a CC member will probably have a better deal on a pair for you ... -

Strokermjcomanche replied to madog7200's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
There is both chrome and silver on the Laredo taillights . The reason that some people call them silver is that the chrome paint as mentioned above wears off over time , it can even rub off in the boxes they come brand new in . Here is a close up picture showing both the silver and chrome ( that has worn off in some areas ) . -
I had an 86 mj that I transferred all the driveline , interior , harnesses etc from a 95 cherokee . Several years after the swap an 80 year old man pulled out in front of me and i t-boned him at 40 mph causing the airbag to blow , the airbag worked as it should . The airbag is strictly mechanical trigger in the 95 xj ( except where the airbag get the signal to blow ), but to install the column one of the bolts at the base of the column needs a hole drilled for it . The dash / radio bezel is also larger around where the steering column goes through the bezel , I used my 86 dash with the 95 harness btw

99 Xj Grille Guard on 88 Mj?
Strokermjcomanche replied to Bonkers's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
If it's a factory guard it will bolt on with no more issues than installing it on a 99 xj . If you have a front skid plate it will need two small pieces cut out and the lower valance will need cut as well . Ask me how I know lol.. -
I'd be a buyer , depending on price etc

Bolt on roll pan
Strokermjcomanche replied to krustyballer16's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Recessed , hopefully in the center of the pan if it doesn't interfere with the hidden hitch . -

7ft to 6tf bed swap
Strokermjcomanche replied to BuddhaG's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Short answer , you're better off getting the correct length bed . The bed and uniframe would need quite a bit of modification as the distance to the wheel openings are different lengths . -

AW4 NSS compatibility Q
Strokermjcomanche replied to Rockfrog's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
What article? :dunno:I tried to link just the article about the NSS , but I had to scroll down to find it on the link provided . I'll take some snap screen pictures of the thread so no one has to go hunting for it . -
Bolt on roll pan
Strokermjcomanche replied to krustyballer16's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I'd be interested in a roll pan . I think the hitch will sit too low and out too much to make a "hidden hitch" feature though . -
AW4 NSS compatibility Q
Strokermjcomanche replied to Rockfrog's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Just got done reading this article and it suggests that the contacts are different , read and see what you think as I'm not great with wiring .. http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/xj-91-95-tcu-wiring-diagram-power-switch-mode-227672/ -
AW4 issues.
Strokermjcomanche replied to onlyinajeep726's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Although the volt gauge reads around 10 volts , it may be inaccurate and you may need to check the volts at the battery posts , TCM etc with a multimeter . I can't comment on if it's causing your symptoms ... -
