Here's a good explosion of the upper portion of the column:

If I didn't know any better, I would say you're trying to rack up your post numbers lol.

Lol how bored are you man?

Lol. I think too fast might be inadequate for me. More like no life with the PC and speakers on and hearing the notification sound.

Says JL.

Some are grouchy "I hate coming to work" types and others are a blast. There's a PM at Menards I think who has an MJ, was telling me that a few years ago there was one MJ tail lamp left as NOS and he never snagged it until it was gone. Then he was pretty shocked to have learned there was NOS XJW taillamps in his inventory.

I think I vaguely recall something like that when I tried to order a part from Larchmont. Course all I remember is the PM being a jerk about it.

I am glad I am not the only one who has run into that issue. Must be just a NY thing. But that's funny to read.

Pete probably knows that theres a few registered but they probably haven't been on in ages and I wasn't about to go ask the facebook wacko's

Hahahaha, that's kind of you, it is true. I do not mark up, you get the part for what I paid for it. But something extra like that is always appreciated so don't feel obligated to do so.

I don't know but he wants a refresh and I don't blame him lol.

The needles can come off but I thought it was tough to re-center the needles once ready to reinstall onto the gauge.

You have the Renix black style which is the one that has a few left as NOS. That cluster style you have continued until 96. Cleaning the contacts is all you can do without tearing into the gauge itself too much. let me know what you want to do. Edit, see if you can move the needle around and test it to see if it wants to return to its final resting position.

Lol, I don't have one laying around. I could probably get an HO cluster from AMC salvage and take it apart and send you the gauge. Orrrr I can get you a NOS one from vintage for $60.

LOL!

Lol, I do try to make the process as a painless as possible(and affordable).

Pretty much. This dealer and another dealer in NY are the only dealers I have ever run into issues with. All the others are more than happy to sell me their old parts.

Some dealers are really finicky about selling stuff out of state and over the phone. I don't know why. My boss made the same point you did. Course he said(not to the dealer) "If you want to sell an obsolete part, sell it! Otherwise let it sit for another 20 years and hope that a Jeep owner in NY is going to come and ask you for that part." The last drivers side hood hinge. I don't need this part. Another member is doing a full refresh of what ever parts they can get for their MJ's.

Lol. He has a naturally stern voice, I was not nearby to witness the phone call made sadly but I am sure he wasn't too stern to come off as being a jerk. But I am sure he probably inquired why they wouldn't sell an old part over the phone though.

I forgot about this plan. I ended up getting the part from the dealer. I asked one of my coworkers for help and he use his stern voice to get them to sell it to me.

One thing I do find cool about this update is if you go into other threads say projects, youll see that a date gap appears like a story. Like there will be a box saying __weeks or _year later. Pretty neat and nice to space the old stuff.
