Thats awesome! Would you ever make a pair of those and sell them? I have a good set of spare mirrors and ofc those pieces are crumbled and brittle.

Ok everything is pulled in the engine bay and interior except ac parts, it's still a closed system and hasn't been exposed to atmosphere yet. My plan was to leave the Hvac box or whatever you call the whole assembly in my truck and replace the A/C parts with the ones from this truck. So my question is is there anything else on or inside the Hvac box that I would need and wouldn't already be on my 89 for some reason? here's pics of where I'm at rn

Dash is out and I don't think anything broke, the dash was surprisingly healthy feeling, not really brittle at all.

I can just use my good pair, I just didn't like the idea of doing what I did before which is drilling the rivets out then using a bolt and nut, it just felt kinda cheap and I swear the chair felt loose. I'll probably just do that tho.

Is there already a thread somewhere for doing a Renix EGR delete? I couldn't find one from the search bar. I wanna clean up my engine bay a bit and ofc make it run a bit better.

I did that with my other set, I'm just trying to see if theres an easier option first.

I could take the time to repair this floor bracket because I want to use these seats in my truck, but I was first wondering if there was a simpler way of somehow sliding the tracks apart and just combining the lower track/rail and good bracket from my other seat, along with the black seat and upper track/rail from the one in the pic. Does what I'm saying make any sense?

I think everything is disconnected now, just need to unbolt/ loosen a few of the bolts then pray I disconnected everything else. Now that the carpet is also up take a look at how bad the rust is, the frame is literally gone and the trans tunnel and roof is the only thing holding the truck together

And this is directly under where the cowl drains it's water, genius design. I just got a slightly better one from my parts MJ but I'm still gonna slather it up with rtv.

I'll save what I can, I don't have high hopes for the backing plates still being in good condition tho, I mean look at the truck lol

I know at least one of mine are cracked and brittle and yeah these are flexible so I'll be getting those

I'm pulling off everything that's not broken or rusted and the stuff I don't use will be for sale. I'll post pics and a detailed list of it all when I'm done but feel free to mention stuff right now incase I miss it

Yea thats what I was talking about with the damage, other side looks fine but

I can't even hardly get on them

I was gonna pull the rear fender flares before sending this to the scrap yard because I know they are MJ specific, but they are such a pain and I don't know if they are even worth pulling. When getting the front fender liners out, the few studs with nuts that I was able to get onto just broke after half a turn because the nuts are fused to the studs. I don't need new fenders, I just didn't wanna scrap an MJ part if it could be used, even tho one of them is worn thru by a tire pretty bad. The biggest thing I'm asking is if I'm taking them off wrong, like is there a much easier way that I'm missing, and are they even rare/desireable enough to be worth the hassle?

Alright thank you, the biggest thing I wanted to make sure of was that all of the interior harness(from where it connects thru the firewall with the fuse panel) was identical and plug and play from 87-89. I have been delayed a bit as I've been sick the last few days but should resume progress tomorrow hopefully.

alright

Alright, do you know anything about the computers like I mentioned?

That thing looks amazing

I'm swapping the interior from an 87 Chief(auto) into my 89 base(manual). For the interior wiring, I was planning on basically just gutting my truck, then just using all of the wiring from 87 starting at the fuse panel connector. Is there anything wrong or not plug and play about this? Also, I thought I remembered reading somewhere that an 89 engine computer is more advanced or better than an 87, so should I want to, or maybe even need to incorporate my current engine computer?

These are black and in my donor truck rn so I can't do any real testing until they are in mine. I have some that work fine just they are gray and won't match the back interior I'm about to put in.

My 89 MJ locks up fine if you just pull it fast, I tried pulling on this one as fast as I could and it didn't.

Alr I'll give it a try but if that's the case then I don't see how they would work in an accident lol

Gonna need to address this when I swap my interior but its an 87 chief so it has the AMC style seat belts. I noticed that both do not latch up or catch whenever you yank them forward, or otherwise throw yourself forward like your in a crash. I haven't looked into it at all yet but if theres a common issue or good place to start please let me know, thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions, its out now. I unbolted the ac compressor from the bracket and the inside bolt was about impossible to break loose, then I had to get a hammer and drift on the back of the bolt and the fought me all the way out.
