This is mainly why I asked what everyone is doing or thoughts haha. I hate wasting money these days as is when everything is hard enough and buying a part that you already have and got it cheaper to add an insult to the injury. Its hard enough to sell what I have as is so I can figure out what else I dont need and would like it to be in the hands of someone who can. Like the NOS and used Renix knock sensor. I cant use it and probably never will and want it to go to the right home without tossing it to the wayside. To where as if I inventory what I know I plan to keep but may up selling one day or really just wont have a use for it once all my stuff is done done, I can then get it to someones hands who needs it.

Well it seems like after 40 years of service, the expansion valve gave up. Not gettin cold AC anymore.

Lol to all. I am mostly doing this cause I go to look for one thing and end up finding another thing I can use. Dont get me wrong, its a nice surprise but not when you already spent the money later on. Like I went to look for the original carb air cleaner assembly to display in the garage and ended up finding a tilt column housing with the switch I needed that I otherwise couldve paid $100 for to have the intermittent wipers. I think this has happened a few other times while building up Chunk to where I want to save myself the hassle and money in the long run if I know what I have and where.

How are yall inventorying your parts hoard/stash/pile? I came to the conclusion that its time to inventory all my static parts that wont have any near plans to sell and am doing just a simple excel sheet and labeling the boxes accordingly. Im curious if theres any other good ideas out there.

Damn. The OP was here one day and literally gone the next. Hasn’t been on here in a year.

Oh yeah! Even those guys on the XJ preservation seem to love Chunk. Now heres a PSA, go through your parts more!! I went bumbling around for the original air cleaner for chunk to hang as decor in my garage with the 2.5L lid and came across some parts. Some of which will be listed here first then ebay. However!! I plan to add the deluxe(intermittent)wiper set up, upon digging through my parts I found a tilt column key/turn/wiper switch housing with the wiper switch still in it. Appears to be original AMC/Chrysler equipment. Looks like I am gonna have the deluxe wipers sooner than I thought!! And it works too with a wiper module I also had laying around! Hell yeah! I think that will tick all the luxury boxes for the XJ. Only thing I am missing is keyless entry and thats impossible unless someone wants to help reverse engineer some 80's tech.

Oh yeah, love the original brush guard look. I understand this one. Course its easier to lower the crossmember and trans to get at the bleeder if you cant get to it installed.

Cruise on a 4cyl is rare. I have it on both my Jeeps. Later add on with factory parts of course. The cable for the servo is a pain in the butt to find as it’s much longer than the 4.0L.

Yeah it is. Looks like an SJ servo. I’m really curious about it and why that was used. or are you talking about the sphere which would be for the HVAC blend doors.

Wtf. Well I’ll be damned. An new 87 oddity.

I don’t think ive ever seen an 87 without a vac diagram on the emissions label.

Ive seen SJ guys gut that much floor out of their SJ.

That firewall label scares me. Where is the vacuum diagram?

No problem!

Ohh yeah! Thing is an absolute blast to drive around. Doesnt beat an MJ but still fun.

Toom some glam shots yesterday before the cruise in filled a little Also swapped out the radio. As much as I would love to have the CD player, it just wasnt practical sadly. It was only half working, volume was low. Its really cool and I will fix it one day, but for now, a 1984 correct radio.

Actually don’t test it from there. I fried an ECU doing that. You’ll need to either take it off the throttle body or you can get it to extend and retract while it’s still installed.

Search for a 1990 Cherokee cable. It is the exact same. Just make sure you get the right length like 2wd vs 4wd.

Lol we’re gettin off topic here.

Lol 5 spoke friends

I must be the only one who likes those rims.

No. Neither is that cruise control servo that looks oddly GM/SJ but I am more curious about it.

You know what, thats got to be genuine 18k. Look at the tape thats holding the wire loom closed.

Low mile 2.5L. Sign me the hell up!!

Sending you a PM
