Might want to run some evaporust through that block.

I have no idea on the aftermarket of those. I’d imagine it’s tough since mercury is toxic.

Isnt that a mercury switch? I know Fords of the same era have the same kind of lamp assembly. Maybe GM ones have the same part as well?

Crappy? Yeah it kinda is, but if anyone happens to upon an XJ with the parts to do a full set up, I am interested in them.

This MJ will forever be eye candy. Can’t get enough of it.

I found the post. Its in the ATJC buy/sell/trade page. However, there are no photos of the VIN.

Was a black on black MJ....

Easy mi amigo! Haha. I do understand your sentiment for our trucks.

Oh how that never used to ring true. Well Ive heard sensors for the early HO are becoming like Renix parts.

My exact thought when I saw this thread. And most people don’t know they’re blinding you and don’t really care either. You signal your highbeams to let them know your being blinded and they end up cranking up the blindness to 11 with their atomic highbeams.

I haven’t driven her a whole lot. Chunk has taken on daily duties and she is for truck stuff and shows. I have also been waiting to drive her again as I need to replace the sway bar links which I got in. But I’ve got a major cosmetic update Now the two are very close to being twins! Same exact NOS molding kit that I put on chunk except it’s for the MJ.

87 2.5. I wonder if your sending unit is leftover stock for the 86’s.

Yeahhhh those marker lights are taller and skinnier than the regular common marker lights.

The axle shifts anytime you remove more than one control arm. You’ll have to get creative and get the axle angled back to where it was when you removed the control arms. The lowers are pretty easy. The uppers arms are tricky.

Might as well grab the header if it’s still there. I have my doubts given it has the marker lights. But those alone fetch a pretty penny.

Yup. This is what I used on my locks.

I forgot where I saw it, I think I have the link on my computer still. But it was in the XJ preservation society and a guy bought a little step up transformer for his windows and I said that could work on the locks.

I was gonna type 16v but I guess I got one that is 19v. But I can’t see it putting out 19v 100% of the time nor getting 19v to every lock solenoid. I mean they are just simple motors.

I used the same exact supply that was recommended for the windows. I’ll probably end up using that too when I add power windows in the future.

I’ll do ya one better.(not to one up, just a simple mod I did before adding my keyless) I did the step up transformer mod thats used for the power windows and applied that to the lock circuit. Granted I did this to my XJ so everything including the hatch will unlock now but ohhhh man do they work. Granted I did try this mod on my MJ when I had the relays, but I ended up deleting the relays and they work good.

Huh? 2.5L with a BA10/5? That can’t be possible. Has to be the AX5.

Well the harness is supposed to help the ECU know when AC is requested as the REM sees it. Which I think is the point in the diode or resistor or breaker or whatever the hell it is at this point. A work around this is to have a idle adjust harness that was part of a campaign that addressed a customer complaint about too much vibration from the 2.5L when the AC is off or on non equipped AC Jeeps. But even that has some sort or resistor or something in it that helps step up the idle. That’s how I got my XJ to work with the AC system that’s installed. There was no way I was gonna be able to make a whole new harness to have the ECU see the AC when I had one of those harnesses.

In our registry. Should be an 87 sub section.

Well to start, if you havent dropped your VIN in the registry, it looks like you got yourself a Metric ton package or someone did the swap. Either way the D44 is desirable. Honestly, These Jeeps are prone to rusting out and it just depends on how bad the rust is and how much time you want to put into this. As far as being an idiot, well purchasing an MJ is far from being one. Now if you bought the most clapped, frame collapsing MJ out there, then yes a smack on the back of the head is warranted as you said. But what I am seeing is just something that had maintenance neglected upon it and was worked like a truck should be. Honestly, once you have all the hard, neglected work done, youll have a good reliable truck to drive around and a rare one that most folks dont recognize and or see anymore. The rarity alone should be enough to put in the work to make it reliable. I am sure others will chime in shortly. More pictures of what youre working with, the better we can help ya further. Oh and the best part, everyone on here is willing to help out.
