  1. I have thoughts on doing this to my XJ. Wiring in the heated relay timer for the rear defrosters so the seats dont get hot and theyre wired to the same rocker switch.
  2. Only when the XJ was introduced. The 84-90 XJ, 86-90 MJ and 87-90 YJ got the rivet buttons. CJ and SJ got the standard dome buttons that the HO years ended up getting.
  3. Hell you can paint the center section of that wagon wheel to match your interior. AMC did that to early XJs and SJs with that steering wheel.
  4. Yes. They were with the Sport steering wheel package. You could also get the ones that are wrapped to the spokes.
  5. No I don’t. I bought it years ago based on a Google search. I think Hellas website had a kit and just looked up the part number. Hell come to think of it, I think I bought the kit off of quadratec
  6. There’s not an OEM harness. If you want it to be seamless, I bought a hella fog lamp harness kit, used a old headlight harness and salvaged a connector pin from it to put it into my harness to hook it up to the factory switch and get a factory set up.
  7. My father finally found the pics he took of me working on little red back in '16 As we can see I am working on painting the rims. On a tight budget it was what I could do with the trailer rims. Note the back window is still the OEM rear window. I still regret changing it out. I changed it out due to missing the latch that I ultimately ended up finding later on...not sure where it went. Yes grill is upside down, I fixed it later. There I go cleaning and prepping the wheels for the new paint. They looked good honestly. But going down the rabbit hole of OEM, I wanted Jeep rims. Heres me replacing the bushings on the original leafs. I dont recall what I was doing there but probably cleaning up any and all rust.
  8. Someone payed a pretty penny for such and I love it when an investment gets tossed to the side.
  9. Not only that but each year there was something just crazy different. I am glad we didnt go down the seat fabric style path here.
  10. Thats an incredible can of worms that we should not ever ever open.
  11. Yeah theyre base Wagoneer seats. Nothing too special other than the design and material. From my understanding only the top tier XJW's have the Limited inscribed to the seats.
  12. So this was a gimmick to help with fuel economy. It probably does help with some science but otherwise its a mild suggestion. As far as shifting at what RPM, shift when ever the hell you want before redline since its a flat tappet cam engine. I shift at certain MPH, like 1st 0-15, 2nd 15-25(or 30), 3rd 25-45, 4th 45-50, 5th 50 for cruising on the streets as thats all I mostly do with no freeway. Freeway after 3rd is based on getting caught up with traffic.
  13. If you want MJ specific stuff, just gotta hunt all over. Like the roll bar. If you want factory, used will be your only option. Aftermarket, get any that fit a ranger or S10 and cut to fit. Something like a bed cover too will be aftermarket as OEM isn’t made anymore for that either.
  14. Suppose one could do this to a Renix set up. Don’t see why not but that canister must hold some good vac to operate HVAC and cruise.
  15. If these can be used on Renix easily, then I’ve got two of them I’d like gone from my stash.
  16. Try checking renault stuff.
  17. I wouldn’t call it quits yet. They may still be out there.
  18. Yeah….I can see them not being made anymore.
  19. Oh these clips are neat. Think of the clips that hold the grill that take the screw, now replace the screw with a push pin and it secures the trim in place. This being said, I’ll get a part number and pic if no one beats me to it this evening.
  20. You know, I havent done alot except recently. We upgraded our shower, much much bigger now, updated and really nice. Worth the money and deals that we managed to get. Wife was offered half off labor at the mall if we scheduled a quote and the guy gave us another half off on labor which we were sold on and well now we have a much better shower. Buttttt we want to see the Jeep stuff. So I scored that poster, gave it a frame a new home in the garage Then found a couple austin mini poster frames that compare other cars to it, they look to be from a dealership. Anyways one become the XJ dedicated frame The other is the Comanche We had fun making these. Thats all for the homestead.
  21. That hose end typically isn’t serviced separately, though I suppose it could be taken from the dorman 4.0L vac line kit with some hot air and a thin screw driver to get it off and put it on.
  22. How in the hell do y’all do transmission work with the t-case still attached!? Haha. i had to replace the front bearing gasket on the transmission and that was a fun 5 1/2 hours of labor to just change a gasket. But bright side, no leaks and all systems normal on the system sentry! Hopefully I shouldn’t have gear oil leaking again.
  23. Adding in the TSB I found in the 1989 Chrysler TSB book. Basically if your speedo bounces after replacing the cable, the orientation of the speed sensor could very well be wrong. Just performed this on my MJ and speedo bounce went away.
