Have you checked all your fuses? Sounds like it could just simply be a blown fuse. Also congrats on getting your MJ back!

Pete that one looks like it ought to fit in perfectly with the header. I’ll shoot you a PM when I can.

I just pulled a set on Monday that I’m gonna sell.

Turbines seem to be the quintessential look for any XJ or MJ. They stopped making the turbines in 90. Now I have the turbines on the XJ and they don’t look good, but they need white wall tires to look good on an XJ. For an MJ, straight black will look good or even a thing white wall line will help there too. I have the Jeep 5 spoke on my MJ and I like those, I grew up seeing those on every XJ and YJ I saw including the Jurassic park YJs.

Not a common headrest. Usually found in the upper trims. Lol for the AC probably. I always thought the same thing when I’ve seen pics of them. I think folks out there are after them for that 80’s look. I haven’t seen many for sale so I can’t tell you what they have been going for. Probably could get $100 I’d imagine.

I feel NOS would insult the rest of the parts on the header hahaha. I’m not looking for perfect as I just realized the grill is missing a small piece.

Love my long bed. Glad I’ve never had a short bed haha. Never failed me for loading a lot of crap. I can’t think of any downsides at all to owning one except if you’re going from short to long, you’ll need to be extra mindful of how much length you have now when backing out and parking. Other than that they’re just as fun as a short.

That’s awesome! Happy to revive some memories for ya. I appreciate your help!

Thankd Pete. Let me know and schardein I just need the bezel for the headlamp and signal. I have the side marker surprisingly but couldn’t find the bezel anywhere near the Jeep.

Yeah that’s the one I’m referring to. The one that sits next to the grill and surrounds both headlamp and turn signal lamp and extends to the side marker. Unless you’re thinking of the side marker one or the retainer ring for the headlamp itself? Yup most folks do but that’s what I get for being in the parts department for so long haha.

Plain Jane XJ. Doesn’t have to be incredibly pristine but the XJ I pulled the whole header from was a gorgeous 89 Laredo and the chrome from what I can tell had hardly and issues.

Ahhh crap. Didn’t mean to read this post. I’ll get. A build sheet when I can.

Odd request I know but I found a header panel and it’s missing the drivers side headlamp bezel. Anywho I am after one to make the panel complete and I’m gonna be a stickler but it’s gotta be genuine AMC bezel. No crown or aftermarket please.

Did you look over all the mounts by chance? You could have good fronts but a terrible rear mount. I noticed bell of a difference when I replaced my rear trans mount.

Found me a set of these to go in Chunk. Very happy with the find.

@pago cruiser is down there to the east of Tucson. He’s not sellin but it’s another MJ guy down there.

Sad day for the firebird but not for Jeeps hahaha! I scored good Jeep parts and will be going back due to some requests. But the fire bird was picked clean. Like it might as well have been a shell. And they didn’t have Camaros of the same gen so that was a bummer. But it had good front fascia but i don't know about the rear. It looked like a good solid car that should still be on the road.

Damn. Need this for my XJ.

Fun fact, only 84-86 XJ and 86 MJ are locked to a group 58 battery unless you change the battery tray out for the newer style.

What Pete said about mopar t-stat and group 34 for the battery. Preferably mopar there too.

I also tore into the column to retrieve the lock cylinder. It’s locked up for some reason. All I did was actually rotate the cylinder a couple times and in the third time it locked into position. Clearly my grandfather was in the column before as the lock ring was not retained in place and neither was the plastic cover which I found in the tray under the radio. The lights on the car work, can’t get the high beam switch to actuate, one side marker is out, missing an entire turn signal, one interior footwell light works and that’s about it. Oh dash lights kinda work. No blower motor, or wipers or wiper fluid. Is suspect the wiper module circuit to be busted or corroded. Oh and one power windows kinda works hahaha. I’ve got a lot of power crap cut out for me….good thing I have the know how. Oh and for giggles my sister got the Datsun 240z and so I decided while I was testing the firebird engine I figured I’d go see if her car cranks over and sure enough it does. Sounds a lot more healthy than mine and sounds more eager to run. Got a lot of fun lined up. Now to just hope the yard in Prescott valley has that firebird with a complete interior.

It. Crankssss!!!!! Woooooo!! This engine wants to live too. I have to rebuild the carb.

If I had $600 to blow I would as the wife and I are going up to Prescott this week.

Hey y’all. I know this isn’t MJ but I am in search of interior parts like the title says. Out here anything of this vintage is normally scooped up, crushed or scavenged real quick. I know back east there’s some yards that don’t scrap a lot but also have pristine interiors. Currently after every piece for a T-top F-body Camaro(assuming the interior is the same as the firebird. I mean it is GM) and firebird. My interior is carmine red, doesn’t have to be that color specifically but I can paint the pieces to match. I’ll update this post if I need anything else. I appreciate it!!

Thanks gents! Fun part is finding interior parts since it’s kinda trashed. Best part is I can see there’s no rust just be removing what ever torn up carpet there is. The key is in the column and I got the cylinder to move twice before locking into position…. Ugh. Damn GM column. Good thing I know how to get into it! Also cleaned him up a little, washed all surface dirt and grime off where it was loose. Doesn’t look too bad. Mostly surface rust on the body. Only major exterior issues is just the fascia’s. I'm gonna come back on the weekend, see if the tires will hold air, spray a metric ton of gunk engine cleaner under the hood and drop a battery in and see what comes to life.
