I had a set on my last MJ. The length of the remote adjuster is too long and the holes were not tapped but they worked ok other than that. They were also missing the remote adjuster gasket

I wasn’t able to see the video. Says it’s been removed, any chance of getting that back?

IIRC there are only two sway bar sizes that came on the MJ/XJ. This is the larger of the two. I believe it’s 28mm

How soon do you need it? I have one but won’t have it available for a few weeks

Here is the easiest and cheapest sway bar upgrade I’ve found. It’s the larger factory option bar and is a bolt on (just need to use the larger bushings) https://teamcherokee.com/products/front-sway-bar-assembly-oem-jeep-cherokee-xj-1994-2001.html

That was Limeys build

I ran ZJ steering linkage. I had the iron man track bar setup which had a 1.5” drop on the frame side bracket so I also installed a 1.5” drop pitman arm. Also used the iron man steering box sector bearing and support. Ran a PSC non-ported steering box. The steering and handling was absolutely wonderful given the amount of lift.

Could you part with the two on the left? Shoot me a price when you can. Thanks

Just saying, I’d still like to see installed daytime pics of the lights from different angles…

A push button start is a very simple switch to install. But a modern push button start system will typically incorporate an rfid tag from the key fob for security. Similar to the “chip” keys that many manufacturers used in the 90’s and early 2000’s.

Very interesting. I have the tail piece as well with the two light

There are a few versions of the D44 and they are all quite different. Same goes for the D35.

Any chance you have the part numbers for the different early models? I’ve only seen original and aftermarket versions of the same early style seal along with the foam pieces on some originals.

I had one in my 5.9 ZJ also. Lots of towing and some off-road with no issues, but no oversized tires. I know several years of corvettes also have the d44a in an irs setup. On a side note, the D35 can be a pretty decent axle lol

I’m beginning to think it’s just two designs. The rubber strip that had plastic retainers into the A pillar then the redesigned A pillar in the 97+ with the lip that the new seal would go on. Thanks @jpnjake for those pics! So one would need to fabricate a lip for the 97+ secondary seal to mount to. I’ve heard many times about upgrading to the 97+ style seal but I believe most comments are referring to the door to cab seal and not to this secondary A pillar seal. It seams many are missing that secondary seal.

Like @Limeyjeeper did. So from what I can gather, the original pre 97 seal was just a rubber strip that mounted to the a pillar. It also had small foam pieces attached to it to help keep its rigidity. The 97+ is a rubber seal (part number 55175355AC) and it mounts onto a similar seal as the 96- (sort of a rigid plastic piece that is mounted to the a pillar. The rubber seal is still available but the plastic strip it mounts to isn’t… does that sound correct?

You’ll need something to keep consistent pressure on that seal along the pillar. Some sort of backing material. I think limeys solution was a good idea. So I guess no one has been able to identify what the a pillar secondary seal mounted to on the 97+?? That seal is still available from several sources but I don’t know what it mounts to (see pic above and red circle)

Just to follow up, I’d like to confirm this info for future reference. Can anyone get us a picture of the secondary seal and what it mounts to on a 97+ XJ A pillar? I’m aware of many referring to the the 97+ door seals which seal the door to the cab opening but this is the secondary seal that runs along the A pillar and is not part of the main door seal in either pre or post 97 models. The part numbers and diagrams I’ve found don’t match the Mopar parts diagram either. Is it possible there were 3 or more variations of this seal over the years? TIA

I’m seeing that part number superseded by 55175355AC and seeing quite a few of those in stock. But according to the picture in the diagram below, it still looks like the seal is mounted to some sort of lip. What is that lip? Does someone have a good picture(s) of an a pillar from a 97+ XJ with this seal setup. It’s listed as the “seal, secondary”.

So there is an a pillar seal for the 97+ that is similar to the 96-? Any chance you have a part number for that? I was under the impression they did away with the a pillar seal on 97+ but I haven’t really spend any time looking for that part on a 97+ Edit: found an image of what I believe to be the 97+ a pillar seals. They appear to be a more block style design which makes sense. I’ll see if I can find some decent used ones. @eaglescout526 any chance you have a part number for these? Edit 2: these seals are for a TJ

Any chance you were able to get those pics? Thanks

What specifically are you referring to? I’ve heard this mentioned before but the only thing I’ve seen used from the 97+ is the actual door seal. Haven’t seen anything that actually replaces this a pillar seal.

Who knows . I just need one or two though

Awesome! Thanks a ton for making these .

Any chance you can get some daytime shots of how these look from different angles? Thanks
