Any suggestions on reupholstering the factory bench seats? I found a place that makes OE-style covers for a reasonable price, but the foam has 30 years and 220,000k on it. What have people here done? And no, there are no yards with MJs left around here to pull one from.

here's mine, stock suspension on 235/75's. Leafs should be replaced- they drop a good amount with even just me in the bed. May do a 2" lift all around. Or 1" pucks up front.

\Yup, mine needs it done. We're just pulling the engine to do all that. might dingleball the cylinders, do the rings and lifters while in there.

How about the scavenger hunt?

When youre ready to start doing this for everyone, y radio will be on its way!

Not sure if you ever got this, but- distributor. my old honda had this issue, the dizzy was collecting moisture and would prevent it from starting until it dried out. check the cap, gasket, etc.

Yup. Just found a 99 with the idiot cluster

I'm trying to get one! Hard when the truck is 10 states away I was hoping to at least see others!!

Sorry, its what Ive always heard the 90s things referred to by- since the buttons are rounded off, bubbled out/in to denote up/down. That style came into play in the late-80s, raged through the 90s before being replaced by molded buttons/touchscreen in the 2000s. But then, that might just be from my eccentric unlces.

Well dang, worth a shot. Guess I'll be watching Fleabay and whatnot.

Well that is different- certainly looks mid-90s with the bubble buttons

Really? hmm, works for me. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Antenna-Auto-Motor-Replacement-kit-AM-FM-JEEP-CHEROKEE-WAGONEER-COMANCHE-/182725882367?fits=Model%3ACherokee&epid=2268700127&hash=item2a8b4fb1ff:g:a14AAOSwmZFZmVv4&vxp=mtr How about now?

The finding of an OEM one is the trouble. Up here most of the XJ's are long rusted and scrapped. I did find this on Ebay, looks like it could be fanagled on.

Evening guys, My OEM antenna is a bit...lacking with the new paint. Was considering swapping to a power antenna (want to stay OEM appearing, rather than a windshield mount). What does it take to do? I see [supposed] kits on Ebay for 40 bucks. Figured to wire an up/down switch like my old T-bird. What does it take? I am sure somebody here knows!

The window gasket alone would make it worth it!

Well, there is a butt for every seat... ....But that money put me into a restored '69 Chevelle SS396.

Working on this!! Trying to find a big one

Are those from a mustang?

That is awesome!! Was it hard? Id love if mine lit up red...

Pretty awesome! Have you considered making the lights work?

Hmmm, my friends taking a look. Otherwise, theres now a full cluster from a '90 cherokee on the way (although it has 60k more miles)

Are the fuses any different from idiot light to normal gauges?

Bought a 3/4 cluster to replace the idiot lights on my 88 (auto, so no tach is fine. Although a cheap one popped up last night...). Anyway- installed the oil and temp senders. when the cluster was installed, it doesnt work. Speedo was dead (most likely a seating issue with the cable), volt/oil/temp were dead and gas went all the way to the right. If memory serves, that means grounding issue? reinstalled the old cluster- gas gauge works fine with that though. and oil light glows, but Id guess thats from having the different sending unit.
