No kidding! Key Parts has been working on replacement oem tail lights but I’m not sure what the eta is. I agree with the wrangler lights. Not my cup of tea on an MJ. I do like some of the aftermarket XJ lights though. What about an adapter to fit xj style lights in an MJ? That would open up the possibilities for both an oem-style and aftermarket appearance. I know @Pete M had talked about something like that some time ago.

Here is the link for kicks https://www.etsy.com/shop/saltydawgsauto?listing_id=813067015&ref=related#items The idea is good but the execution is terrible. He just doesn’t get those compound curves. Wonder if @Dzimm would be interested in making something. There is definitely a market for a well made product. Once Key parts finished their tail lights hopefully we can have a nice oem replacement. But the demand for some sort of aftermarket lights will still be there.

By far

Worth a shot:

I’d be very surprised if he had street Comanche body kit parts. But he does have quite a collection!

I’d like to get a puller for that dumb pilot bearing for the front output shaft.

The free money has kept a lot of businesses doing much better than they normally would though. In all fairness, he’s just swamped and doesn’t have any solid help that knows what the products. It’s great that he keeps trying to bring new things to the market but the business is poorly executed.

Last I heard, yes. Had several dealings with Zach there and wouldn’t recommend them though. If someone needs a roller cam, I’d check with Russ Pottenger but I don’t think there will be much gain on a 4.0. Depends on what you want to do with the engine.

It’s not noisy but the felt gets all mangled and or missing which makes it either rattle when it’s open or makes it hard to open. i think I’m just going to try to dig out some of the felt and try to match up the size. Not sure how it’s going to go trying to replace it though and I’m not to keen on pulling the glass again.

When I had my seats reupholstered, I had them rebuild and reinforce the pans. They welded some bracing to keep it from breaking again. Nice little upgrade while your in there

Has anyone successfully replaced the felt for the slider in their rear window? I haven’t even seen any replacement felt in the parts manual but cam across this link that made me wonder if one of these would fit: https://jjautofabrics.com/window-channel-types/

All 4.0’s are flat tappet. 505 performance makes a roller cam and crower used to make one as well. There are slight pattern changes between various years though.

Sounds good, don’t forget to reseal where the antenna cable goes into the cab. It’s a frequent leak area. Give yourself a little “drip loop” so the water doesn’t have a straight shot down the cable and into the cab.

Looks like the factory brackets would limit travel anyway unless you use a tube style control arm. I switched to artec brackets several years ago so I don’t have any originals to compare it to.

But the ends of the WJ arms physically fit in both mounting points correct? Was it off the same amount on both sides or did you only try one side? Did you disconnect the track bar before doubt the control arm swap? How were you jacking up the axle? if your thinking of getting new control arms, Currie/Savvy and metal cloaks are my favorites. Very durable and very smooth both onroad and off.

I’m pretty sure the pins are a Delphi (Aptiv) design as that’s what most of the truck uses. @cruiser54 or @Minuit would probably know the exact pin you need.

I got mine at crutchfield but new oem ones were on teamcherokee.com last week

Could you post specific services/parts and prices?

I used Eastwood internal frame coating to do all of mine before I shipped it out here to Guam. After 2 years I inspected for rust and have none. Stuff works really well for internal coating. It has a really long nozzle that sprays a 360 pattern.

Let us not forget about YJ axles. 3.07-4.10. 3.55’s originally in my 88 with BA10/5 and 4.2

My rig is on 33’s with soa rear and 5.5” front RE coils. Actual lift is 4.75” in front and 5.3” in the rear which increased my rake to approx 2.75”. Will be swapping in some XJ springs to bring down the rear a bit. Shooting for 1” of rake. I’m running Yokohama AT’s right now but will be switching to some 34” metric MT’s when these wear down.

Somone on Facebook was selling a 3d printed insert that adapts the new JT/JL tail lights but I don’t remember where that post was

I’ve got family there. Been looking for an 88 chief with a 5spd if one pops up. This is getting there
