All three of the eliminators I have owned have had the chrome lines. But all had black dash panels.

Does anyone know if the eliminator ever came with anything other than the black dash?

Yeah I messed around with it a bit. I am going to go buy the HF stud welder as I am too lazy to weld screws onto the body panel like I usually do. I think I can get it straight enough to be happy with putting a little filler over it vs. welding in a new piece.

I don't think the picture shows the extent of the damage. I have done a fair bit of body work and this is right on the edge of welding in a different piece.

If anyone has a drivers side B pillar segment from about 1.5 inches above the vent indent to about the bottom of the rear window frame I am interested.

Under 1/4 inch of bondo I found this... I can pop it out a bit better than the previous person but its pretty dinged up. Should I hunt for just this section of B pillar and weld it in or should I mess around with straightening and re-applying body filler? My guess is most of it would be under 1/4 inch but its pretty messed up.

Top corners of the rear windshield frame. They don't look rusted out but I am not sure those should be open?

While that is true the 3.4 has okay aftermarket support to make it comparable to the 4.0. I had one in a van, it was fine, not a 4.0 but not a bad engine by any means. Except getting the coolant system bled out. That was a pain.

So I bought the Team Cherokee REAR XJ hinge for the lower hinge on my drivers side door. I will take pictures of everything once I get it out in the sun and put a coat of primer over it. There is a small difference in the front and rear hinges on an XJ but apparently they work just fine on the front. The body side mount is tapered instead of square so there is slightly less weld contact. https://teamcherokee.com/rear-door-hinge-assembly-oem-cherokee-1984-1996/ This is definitely the cheapest way to replace your door hinges if you have already broken one off. Mine had massive wear on the inside half of the hinge. I could have redrilled them to a bigger pin but as one was already busted off I went this route for the bottom hinge. Top hinge is from another member on here but I could have used the rear XJ hinge for both hinges.

Happy Thanksgiving! Partner is at his parents place which gives me more time to squirrel away parts in the spare bedroom, roommate made turkey, potatoes, and okra so we had that for lunch (and probably for dinner). Other than that just working on the truck until Sunday. Got the drivers door hinges welded on, going to put the reinforcements in, then strip the cab and move it to the backyard for cab paint.

This makes my massively undersized 24x24 shop look lame!

Hell yeah! Welcome dude!

With. Thats super weird.

Alamo Access in San Antonio has a 1993 XJ, an 86 MJ, a 1999 XJ, and a 199? ZJ.

I am removing my 3-panel rear slider (I believe it is OEM) and I split the gasket when I removed it. I can probably repair it but I was hoping someone might have a good one they would sell when I go to reinstall the slider.

Ended up buying Nason Primer and Basecoat to go below the PPG clear that I have.

Nothing wrong with Twitter =P

I learned to drive in a 90 XJ Laredo. First vehicle was a 1994 2dr XJ AX15 4wd. Wanted a truck and learned about MJs and decided to sell the XJ to buy the MJ. Drove the MJ through college until I was too broke to pay tuition and sold it... fast forward to career with some amount of disposable income and like cycling through 20 some odd other vehicles, and MJs somehow keep getting purchased.

Isn't that everyone with 2 MJs? I have one torn to bits in the garage and one beat up one I drive around while I work on the other one.

I was thinking the same thing. Someday maybe I will have a Comanche that clean...

Holy $#!& that is a nice piece.

On the buckets there are a number of plastic clips that go over metal rods that you have to pop off and some velcro. Not sure on the bench. Vinyl is a bit more difficult than cloth in my experience. Once it is torn it is very difficult to do anything besides hold it together. You can patch it from underneath with a piece of cloth to try and hold the cracks together but you are only delaying the inevitable.

You will want to pull the seat all the way out to pull the cover off. An upholsterer can do a bench for $400 or a little less if it is just vinyl.

Pros of the south... No rust... Cons of the south... No paint...

Enamel! Sorry I said lacquer... My first Comanche (Circa 2012 when they had not started appreciating yet) was painted Rusto white and I spent hours and hours sanding and polishing. It looked great for about 2 years at a time and then I would have to polish it out again to make it not look like chalk. I love Rusto but I don't think I will paint another vehicle with it.
