89 MJ

Looks like a good project. That 21 slot grille is a hard to find piece.

Interesting, thanks for the info

He picked up a set of 2004 Ram 3500 axles for the yellow 83 today. D60 front and an AAM 11.5 for the rear. They both have 4.10s and the rear axle has a limited slip. Overkill? Definitely.

Very cool! I never knew there were Orvis XJs, I only knew about the ZJs. Is it 4.0 powered? What’s up with the ZJ 5.9 hood vents?

Those emblems were just stuck on, no studs. I’d probably try a putty knife first, then apply heat if needed. Those holes should not be there. Could’ve been any number of things, really.

I’d recommend checking out either of @Gjeep’s threads. He put black interior in both of his trucks.

So do you have lines from each item going to this breather, or does each one have its own breather?

Longevity. I’m not saying that another Diehard will live 40 years, but I’d bet one of the small, cheap ones definitely wouldn’t live that long. I know several people with the modern Diehards and I’m yet to hear of an issue with them.

Microwaved dog turds!

I’m liking this. Might have to copy you at some point.

Black would look good, especially with the black vinyl flooring and the black steering column. You could also look for CJ, YJ, full size Jeep, and AMC Eagle or other small body AMC cars, as they all had similar wheels. Here’s an example of an Eagle wheel with the spokes wrapped. Also has a really neat woodgrain horn button

I’ve got a 31 under my short bed.

What color interior do you have? You probably could find one that would match your interior.

Ok haha. It would’ve been a holy grail MJ if it had the hidden winch though!

If you did this, you might also want to do the seat back adjuster knob too.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks to be in about the right spot for the standard bumper to me.

And it a Laredo, so it’ll have bucket seats and all of the options.

A1: I believe it gets deleted. A2: There should be an “X” in the top right corner of the attachment, right by the insert button. That will remove it.

Yup, sounds exactly like how I drive too. Sometimes it’s a race car, sometimes it’s a semi. Most of the time, it’s just a driver Also, valve float happens somewhere around 6k in an MJ, in case anyone was wondering.

The Liberty KJ and Grand Cherokee ZJ are common disc break swaps for these. I’d check those out and go from there.

Within the last few months, I’ve gotten more into the interiors too so I get what you’re saying. It would be cool to put all of that information together.

Oh boy, this definitely sounds like a can of worms that shouldn’t be open, you were very right.

That’s fair, haha. Oh I forgot about the ones that have similar fabric to the seats in the early years.

Let’s talk about the different door panels too then. I know there were the base, all vinyl, no 3 point arm rest ones, there was the ones with carpet on the bottom and the map pocket, and the 2 piece ones off of the top of my head.

I’ll add this in for later:
