120mph speedometer
ghetdjc320 replied to ghetdjc320's topic in Craigslist/Marketplace/eBay... i.e. Not Your Stuff
Nice! I was wanting to just get the speedometer and put it in my HO cluster but ended up getting a set of the azzy gauge overlays and didn’t want to go through the hassle of having them customize the number layout -
You planning to swap over the obd2 system from the 97? I’d swap the dash, doors, console and seats from that 97. Maybe even the front clip if you like the look.

Came across this and wanted do get it for my mj but decided against it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1991-1995-Jeep-Cherokee-RHD-Instrument-Cluster-Gauges-w-115-MPH-Speedometer/274358235210 haven’t seen to many of those for sale though

Thanks, just saw that. Will reply shortly

Kick panel? I’d take the tan drivers side kick panel. Send me a pm for payment info

Rubicon Wheels on MJ?
ghetdjc320 replied to WahooSteeler's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
@75sv1 are you running stock size wj brakes and Akebono 2-piston calipers or something else? Never seen a big brake kit for the wj but that would be a neat upgrade if doing the knuckle swap -

Dual diaphragm is great but check your engine vacuum at idle first. My engine has a custom cam that doesn’t produce much vacuum so I’m running a dual diaphragm pump with a leed electric booster -

ghetdjc320 replied to DravenBoris's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
There are many different boosters that will work. 95 and later XJ with dual diaphragm boosters as well as WJ. None are a direct swap but if you own a grinder and drill you can make them work. A 95 xj booster is a perfect fit on the 91-92 mjs but requires modification for the brake light switch and pedal fitting for earlier mjs. Almost all boosters will require the same mods for the pre 91 mjs -
Need more details. Please tell us the info on the donor and recipient vehicles.

What year mj do you have? -
I agree with the regional pricing differences. It’s going to be a factor for sure. The rust belt has almost depleted the MJs available and the global supply is dwindling. The newest mj is still 28 years old and is appreciating in value. Anymore, if someone is really looking for an MJ it seems that they aren’t confining their search to just a small area (at least, they shouldn’t be doing that if they want to find the right truck). I think one of the biggest factors in pricing fluctuations is that there is really no guidance for what to sell or buy an mj for. I think we all have varying views on what constitutes a parts truck vs something that can be restored also. Perhaps if we can put together a pricing overview it will help keep things a bit more consistent. If someone runs across an 88 chief for example, (always wanted one) that’s been in storage and has low mileage, we should all be able to give an idea what a good price would be for that vehicle. Or if someone find a 92 eliminator 4x4 with every option but has some rust and is a bit run down, I think we can still get a good price range consensus. Obviously there is no way to cover every possibility.

Just added 6 categories that are used for insuring classic vehicles. Let me know if you think those categories are sufficiently descriptive or if they need to be adjusted

Thanks all! Not planning to get too detailed. Just propose getting a general value guide put together.

I’ll keep updating the original post for the latest info. Ok, let’s start with all the different trim levels

Rubicon Wheels on MJ?

Quadratec now makes a copy of those wheels called the “41”: https://www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/41-wheel-wrangler-jk-jl/gray -
Rubicon Wheels on MJ?
ghetdjc320 replied to WahooSteeler's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Those are JT rims on mine. I really didn’t like my wheels to stick out and between the necessary adapter and the oem backspacing, the wheels are right at neutral. I was thinking along the lines of method or raceline wheels though. May change that out down the road. Here is a closeup of the wheel -
Hello all, As you all know, there is really no official guidance on the value of a used MJ. I remember when I was a kid flipping through old car value books for antiques. We’ve seen everything from $500 barn finds to 25K+ builds. KBB or Nada does not work at all with MJs for the most parts. I was thinking about putting something together which would help us to get an idea what a fair market price is for both buying and selling our MJs. Was thinking along the lines of a “comparable sales” approach. We’re all on the look out for a good deal but it’s also laughable when projects are listed for outrageous amounts. What are your thoughts on trying to establish some baseline number or ranges of values based on: trim level, condition and finally restorations/modifications? With enough data and input from club members, I think we could get a respectable general guide to pricing. Obviously there will be regional price differences but I’m not thinking of going that detailed *****Updated info***** Creating a list of different models base Custom X XLS SporTruck Chief Pioneer Eliminator Laredo street comanche Here are the six rating criteria: Excellent: A perfect show vehicle with components that either look like new or operate like new or a perfectly restored vehicle in the same condition. This is a show truck that's rarely driven. Fine: An original that is considered to be in 'excellent' condition or well-restored though not quite at the level of a classic vehicle rated at number one. The vehicle should be well cared for and displays minimal wear and tear. Very Good: A vehicle that shows a good bit of wear, yet still operable. The vehicle is presentable for an amateur restoration though it wouldn't quite meet professional standards. Good: A vehicle that can still be driven though it likely needs minor work (such as a brake job). The vehicle is likely a poor amateur restoration or a restoration that has deteriorated over time. The car is still usable 'as is' but it certainly needs work. Restorable: The vehicle is in need of a complete restoration regarding the interior, chassis, and body. The truck may or may not run. Despite this, it's still in good enough condition that it can be restored. Parts Car: As the name implies, the vehicle is in a state where it's only useful for parts and nothing else.

Unknown, we will have to find a place once we arrive. I will have a good cover though
-
the one I have is a trimmed xj version but I does not fit well. I’d like to get the mj specific one still
-
i actually need the panel that goes where the parking brake is. It’s a sort of triangle shaped piece. You can see the passenger one under the dash. The sill piece you highlighted runs right into it and they overlap a bit
-
Grey would be preferable. I have a modified xj kick panel currently but need to get the mj specific one. Send me pics of what you have for mud flaps. The fronts can be trimmed to look like oem rears easier than the xj rears. Thanks!
-
Looking for a few final touches for my MJ: Rear mud flaps (all black Jeep logo style or would also consider a set of fronts I can trim to fit the rear) Drivers side kick panel (any color since I have the interior dye already) Dash clock for my 91 (my original wiring is still there and ready to plug in) Thanks!

Power steering fluid.
ghetdjc320 replied to eaglescout526's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I only use Swepco ps fluid in my PSC pumps -
What goes here on my tailgate
ghetdjc320 replied to ghetdjc320's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Agreed lol, why not just use a sticker? -
yep I saw your write up. I’m thinking about just getting another set of fronts and the scarfab brackets to install in the original location. I’ll just trim them to match the original rears if I can’t find any. Need to find another set of fronts now
