I think junkyard and aftermarket is your best bet. On the bright side with aftermarket, you can buy the cheapest ones, take the mirror and gasket and whatever else and toss the mirror in the recyclables as it’s plastic and completely crap.

That’s the early XJ one. I have the same one but it fits an SJ I think. That same radio can be found in my 84 brochure for the XJ.

Base XJWs could have either or. The panels on my XJ I pulled from an 86 base XJW with power locks but manual windows.

Vintage AMC American Motors Jeep AM/FM ETR RADIO Cassette WAGONEER CJ 8936001127 Opens in a new window or tab (ebay.com) 87-90 ish AMC JEEP RENAULT - Vintage 1984 Jeep XJ Radio OEM Stereo AM/FM RD Opens in a new window or tab (ebay.com) 84-86 These are pretty neat. I am surprised they dont list them as NOS and with a much more hefty price tag

I feel like I am looking at someones XJW parts transferred to an MJ.

I have no idea how I missed this. Sure!

I’ve watched some of your stuff on the tube. Definitely will be looking for some on this one.

Yeah that kick down cable is pretty important. It does exactly like how you want it to do to shift the transmission down a gear or two when you throttle it.

Thanks and no rush! I’ve got a couple years to rectify my problem.

Lol thanks Ωhm! Thank ya! Now to finish the T/A. Expect to see the engine put together before '25 and expect to have it driving in early '25.

That’s pretty cool!!

Found on ebay

Ladies and Gentlemen. He is now road legal and registered!!!!

Need one. I think 2.5L and 4.0L should use the same one. Need one as I barely passed emissions in the XJ haha. Long story. Shoot me a PM and some pics of it if you have one.

Whats crazy is one of the ceramic resistors is just broke in half like it obliterated from the voltage.

Excellent question!! I actually have no idea...I can tell you what I was doing was trying to extend the ISA to do an adjustment as it was not fully extended like it should be and needless it say, the ECU clearly did not like that haha.

I killed an ECU. Like murdered it. I’m impressed actually. Kinda upset cause I’m down to 2 ECUs now but impressed. i do not think this is fixable. But now I have a parts ECU to correct another one I got from svtkyle I think his name one. Thought y’all would get a kick out of this.

Something I learned and saw, AMC used warn hooks which can literally be found anywhere. I remember when I went to harbor freight one day that I saw those hooks with retainers that keep the strap or rope in place. I put a set of these on my XJ, but I found them at my grandparents house interestingly enough. I’ll snap a picture later. Nevermind. See the clips now. Haha.

Is lowbuckgarage mentioned in this thread?

I should follow up on this thread. So I haven’t replaced my catch pan yet but since I’m an avid cranberry juice addict, I’ve been saving those bottles, pouring oil into them and taking the bottles to be dumped at oreillys. But I do like the suggestions, inputs and opinions!

Pretty much. Or make your own or take old ones and try to mount them. The biggest problem with used is the studs rust out and snap off.

Like the plastic end caps? No they don’t.

More than likely but it all honestly sounds like normal operation to me. Course we are comparing an 86 to an 88 but there’s such minor differences compared to the two when looking at the electronics.

Still sounds normal but I never really paid attention to my tach while coming to a stop. I feel I have seen what youre talking about but happen much quicker. I guess you could suspect the ISA internals are locking up from the dried up grease or the throttle cable is catching. But the ISA shouldnt be at play when coming to a stop.
