I doubt you'll need to mod those headlights. Square lights were all the rage through the 80's on a lot of stuff. Dodges, GM and Ford boasted some square bulbs in their mostly truck based line ups.

Not sure how many others here stateside know but across the pond the Cherokee nameplate continued on the KJ platform.

No problem.

Oh another thing to look for is the 93-96? Camaro and firebird keyless modules.

Oh yall have it too!? Kinda neat to see the golden glow of the sun.

Probably. There’s someone on the ATJC page just collecting good MJs and just parting them out so you’re probably right about the rate of less than a 1/4 left diminishing.

Probably a 1/4 of production are left.

Suitable B-pillar light options.

In my build I have the long bed by downy and I love it. I don’t run it during the summers because of the suns intensity but I highly recommend it.

Makes sense and the ZJ was designed by AMC as that higher tear Cherokee, let me know if you want me to hunt anything down for your ZJ.

Sounds like 90's Chrysler, when it was still Chrysler Corp but just before the hell known as Daimler.

Good question. I know dorman makes the factory style housings but I am not sure about the sockets themselves. I have a used harness from my OEM bumper I got from the junkyard if you're interested. Actually to add on to that, when I got my FEY bumper before my OEM one, it included the sockets so I would imagine that they can't be that hard to find.

J8128931 Four main 83502744 Reverse lamps. Searching these up might yield something.

Found another one I think I'm just gonna catalog the odd ducks here and gather some theories.

Figured as much. A lot of stuff from the 80's and 90's Jeeps seems to be lost with time.

Could be a Chrysler, could be an AMC screw up. I see those two recalls too. Wonder what the brake booster is about. Shame that the global recall guide actually doesnt have any of the old AMC recalls and early Chrysler ones on file.

1JTBL6511GT000763 This VIN is weird. Not in the sense in we can't retrieve its build info but more like date and service date. So this VIN shows a build date of 5/14/87. Yet it bears a GT which is 1986. Ok, could be a special order MJ that was waiting on a piece or two. It comes equipped with the 2.1L Renault. Could've been waiting on the engine if there was a shortage. Or the cargo lamp or the AX5 with bell house it was equipped with, who knows? here's where the conflict happens: How was it built in May but in service in March? Really strange. Que X-files.

Keep in mind we’re talking about a truck that was built in the 80’s that really never conformed to any of Europe’s automotive standards. Try searching for a possible location on an XJ frame as those sold very well in Europe and can give you a general idea if AMC and Chrysler did stamp the full VIN on our trucks.

What does your VIN plate say about the paint code?

What I would do is search for Bendix, 80's Ford or 80's GM belts. Bendix actually made most of the American automotive seat belts. I learned that Ford used the same belt company as denoted by the later star burst on the buckle button and GM used them commonly. Luckily you don't have the AMC button belts otherwise you would have hell of a time finding those. Also glad to see another AZ member.
