So, I bought a new header panel and it has no Jeep logo. My original logo is all jacked-up. So, I popped on eBay and bought some logos. BUT, the factory logos are curved (because the header panel is curved) but the aftermarket logos are flat! Anyone dealt with this before and have a solution?

I've had this same thought. But, I've not seen an unmounted Dakota light up close.

Ah. Well, once you get above the Mason-Dixon Line, it's all the same. ;-)

I agree with johnj92131. He should share the costs. :laughin: Seriously, I'd be willing pay an annual membership fee. Would help weed out the riff-raff. And I fall in-line with everyone else who wants photo hosting. For me, wanting to look at a mod or repair thread only to find the images are no longer linked, kind-of sucks.

Maybe "Running when parked in creek"? :laughin:

Not bad. I was hoping to spend a lot more!

Thanks for the replies. I just scrolled through NAXJA and didn't see anything that really caught my interest. Some of it's nice work, for sure, just not for me. Guess I'll keep looking a 3/4.

Anybody done or seen one? I know it's easier to just buy from a JK, but you're replacing old parts with old parts. So, just wondering if a "new" gauge cluster has been done.

Hello 8936001127, you're very Spartan, but nice looking. I like you.

Oh yeah. I got mine back-in-whack too. Thanks!

Thanks for asking this question. I was wondering the same thing and kept forgetting to ask. :doh:

I guess it's just more internet weirdness. :dunno:

Minuit, I was poking around the interwebs and found this, but I cannot match it to anything you have posted, Do you know what it is? 96 Jeep Cherokee radio part number 153406920 (no pic was included). Maybe I just missed it. Can you help?

It's the push button on the exterior handle. It pushed in and would not spring out. I had to cut away some of the sheet metal to even get my hands in there to feel around, because you cannot see in there due to the window track. I have the button and the spring that goes on it, but there is no way for me to reattach that thing. The other issue is the linkage to the interior door handle. The silver one that opens the door. The lock toggle was not too bad to rehook, but the other one I cannot figure how to get it back on. Is there a tut on replacing the exterior handle? I sure can't find one.

Is it even worth it? Spent eight hours yesterday trying to fix my passenger door where the stupid ext. push button stopped working. All I have done is make it worse! The dang button fell out, can't reattach the the freaking lock innards, can't see anything in the door, can't get my dang hands into that tiny-arse cavity to do anything, cut the opening larger, that only resulted in scratching my hands all up, still can't reach or see what I'm doing! What the heck?! Am I missing something, or is this crap just not user-serviceable?

Had a used AW4 installed and now I have a pronounced whine in the cab. Did not have it before. Fluid is good. My mechanic is also looking into it. Any idears?

Right. All I need now is a schematic showing me what you just said! :banana: Like many MJ owners, I have a lot of lines that are loose, missing, rerouted. I'd just like to have a better way to understand what's what. Versus, searching through hundreds of posts and images that may or may not be relevant. And, not everyone has the same needs. Meaning, I want my cruise to work and some don't. It's my understanding that it's a vacuum issue. I don't want to disable one thing that adversely effects another.

I've seen many images from FSM and the like, but what I'm looking for is a detailed map of the lines for the renix era 4.0. Not just the layout, but lines labled as to what they're for. And, it would be awesome if it included which lines my not be needed. If this does not exist, then I would be glad to work with other members here to put one together.

Glad he found his answer. I swear I think we could have a dedicated forum just for the "What line is it, anyway?" Category.

My two-cents as a new MJ owner. I love my 88 truck! Fun to drive, drives nice, rides nice, 4.0 is solid. You WILL spend money on it, so get a "good" one for the lowest price possible. Beware of sellers. There will be liars. They will be taking advantage of the minor collect-ability of these trucks. If you have access to a non-partial mechanic, take them with you. Go over every square inch. Look for rust, drips, stains, new paint, new screws, anything that looks too new, out of place or clearly not stock should be questioned. If the sellers gets pissed that you're asking so many questions, that's your cue to walk away. These trucks are for "wants" not "needs". While it will easily do all the things you need it to do, you'll want to do said things in an MJ. Again, even though I may sound a bit negative, I love mine. I just don't think they are for everybody.

Ah. That's why they wrote, "Manufacturing tolerances". Got it.

PM Sent!!!

Understood. However, the "Jeep" version should fit any unmolested, er. . . I mean, unmodified MJ. :teehee: Correct?

"What a fantastic radio! I wish these were more common than they are." So do I! I've come to the conclusion that I prefer the understated look of car stereos from the 80s and 90s. I especially like the separate bass and treble controls, or better yet, a small three-band EQ! At my age, I prefer to make adjustments on the fly vs having to push buttons and scroll through menus. BTW, Minuit, were ignition noise suppressors commonly installed on these OEM systems?
