The grill screw retainers are a GM part. That should make it a lot easier to find. As for the bumpers. I might have a couple. Don’t quote me on that as I’d have to dig around for them.

Thank you!

Oh yeah! The idea came to me a little while ago and never implemented it. I mean the vac system is already taxed with the HVAC and cruise control and whatever else vacuum is needed for with the emissions. And thanks!

Drove Chunk a couple days. Definitely miss driving him. I finally tackled my 4wd problem. And the problem that existed was in relation to vacuum and this existed before the TBI swap. and I have two theories, lack of vac supply or because the engine is 300k. Regardless I made use of a vac ball for a cruise control less Jeep as a reservoir for the 4wd to stay on at lower RPMs. I knew that if I used the XJ for 4wd kind of stuff that I would lose such thanks to the CAD and how it works. Course such probably wouldnt be a problem if the engine wasnt so high miles or just lack of vac. Anyways I put the ball in, revved the engine up and found 4wd to stay engaged than disengaging at high RPMs. So that is fixed. Woot! Next is figuring out why the wiper system is shorted to ground.

If you’re going from an 84-86 Speedo and cable to an 87-90 Speedo and cable, that’s fine. But if you wanting to swap just the Speedo to the 86 cable it won’t work or vice versa. The Speedo and cable have to match since the connection to the Speedo are different.

Ha! Solid.

19" blade fits pretty damn well.

it does two things, increases the amount of fuel the engine takes and disengages the compressor.

Oh that’s quite the gamble. I’m surprised it wasn’t on the SJ sooner. Course I bet the design really didn’t ask for the need or a rear wiper.

Does the FSJ have a rear wiper? I feel like I have never seen a rear wiper on an SJ.

The Eagle now has a rear wiper arm from an XJ!! So Carter and I went back and forth on this on what feels like forever. Debating on if an XJ rear arm will work. It does. Not the correct spline count but clean up the splines and throw some lube on it and it will go. Oh hey thats wrong. Its not going to wipe or sit right. So I drilled out the rivet, separated the fold Hammered out the bend and bent it to the other way, reassembled, with a self tapping screw of the small size to fit the holes. Clamped the fold back over. Voila!! It will now wipe the correct way. Hopefully other Eagle owners see this.

Does teamcherokee still have their NOS supply?

I think it’s the wire in the column somewhere. Cause I checked the wiper motor and the switch and even swapped switches too and still the same results. And I did have to root around with the column and its ignition switch so it’s probably that wire that goes there. I even did a continuity test from that wire to body and it grounds out so I know where it lies. Just need to pull the XJ out and address it.

Ooo I got one. My 84 XJ one day was working fine for the wiper module, something got wet and now it won’t work right. It just constantly cycles and keeps tripping the circuit breaker. And I’ve tried other modules and some work and some don’t even though they all test fine in my MJ. So I’ve got some digging to do for the wiring but that’s and example.

Added interior door handle stuff.

Got the AC charged up and blowing cold. No more leaks.

Probably more information lights. Since it’s 91 only who actually knows what Chrysler was planning.

1/2” in diameter for the arm. Looks pretty similar. I’ll take it and shoot you a PM in a bit.

Bump.

I swear while working at Ford I have seen a jack handle in similar length and likeness to our jack handles.

Oh also those jack rod clips are supposedly in the rear upper section of the XJ holding the harness.

Let’s get her front and center. I’ve been driving her on and off while working with the Eagle and chunk having a dying/dead battery. However! The suction side schrader valve finally decided to fail. So I had to let the 134 leak out, replace the valves and now I’m sitting waiting while it holds vacuum pretty well. So hopefully no more leaks.

I miss driving this Jeep. Just replaced the battery cause it was old and failed and finally and I mean FINALLY fixed the exhaust leak at the manifold. The leak was the flange to manifold problem. I tried to make the flange flat against the manifold and it just never seemed to work. I happened to pull the pipe out again for work and looked up and saw the manifold studs tweaked inward. So I moved the studs out and got a flush mount to the pipe and manifold and now I have no more leak. Woot!

I sent you a PM
