Ok, just got them in and it looks like these will work for the plugs with a little SEM paint. https://www.mcmaster.com/standard-cap-plugs/plastic-snap-in-panel-plugs/ Oddly enough, the A pillar trim is a bit smaller id/od - part # 9688K43 B pillar has a little larger id/od on the button by 1mm-ish, because Renault reasons I guess - part # 9688K241 ...if anyone finds this thread and needs some I have aprox. 75 of each that I can send out rather than spend any of us having to spend the $20 for OEM on ebay lol. Figure the weight of 6 or so plastic plugs won't cost more than the price of a stamp.

Going to try and dig through this too: https://www.clipsandfasteners.com/Chrysler-Jeep-Clips-Fasteners-Retainers-s/66.htm?searching=Y&sort=13&cat=66&show=450&page=1

Oh, I like the McMaster idea. Looks like they have them, just have to figure out the right id/od. eBay fools have them for $20-$30 for 4. McMaster looks like they have 100 packs for around $10. https://www.mcmaster.com/standard-cap-plugs/plastic-snap-in-panel-plugs/

I haven't been able to find a good source for the interior screw hole button covers. I have plenty of SEM paint to color match so I'm not that picky on color.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/115437677598?hash=item1ae09f2c1e:g:sNgAAOSwgQFis2Uk Missing the clip and has two small holes in the frame. Not too bad for $235 shipped.

I would like one set, please.

Mine took a little longer than that....and they told me multiple times "it'll ship next week" ya right

Do you have a link?

Ya might as well order it now for Christmas delivery.

Looks pretty clean. 61k on the clock.

I run a '94 pump like that on my 2.5L. 2.5L pumps aren't nearly as available so it made sense from a longevity standpoint. I agree it's tight and the cap pushes into the air hose. You can put small rubber spacers under the airbox to give it a little more height. Just have to be mindful of hood clearance. The PO of my MJ had one installed at some point and I've been running it for 3 years myself with no issues.

I'd steer clear of Dirtbound. I ordered a battery tray recently and it took 6 weeks and was only shipped after I talked to my CC company about investigating a charge back. When I placed my order their website said it was in stock and would ship in 5 days. When I called to check after a week I was told, "oh yeah, that'll ship next week". The website still said it was in stock at this point. Then two more weeks went by. I was concerned my order had gotten lost in the cracks so I emailed back and forth with their "CEO" a bit to find out what the hold up was. Rather than giving a level headed response he was argumentative and blamed COVID for everything. Still doesn't explain the multiple missed ship dates they provided though. I understand things take more these days but at least be honest to your customers about that. A little sketchy that they charge you 100% up front (NOT a pre-authorization) when listing a product is in stock AND they already know they're backordered 5+ weeks... I went and read back a couple years on their Google reviews and there it is...they've been terrible with shipping on time with plenty of people describing the exact experience I had, argumentative "CEO" and all. Using COVID as an excuse when you've always run your business haphazardly is in pretty bad taste if you ask me. Caveat emptor. Edit: just remembered. I left a one star review on their site and surprise, surprise. They don't have anything rated less than 3 stars on their site. I checked with the company that handles their reviews and guess what? They're allowed to "curate" what reviews they share! I'm not surprised but super sketchy nonetheless.

I figured there was a 72.328% chance it was a scam site from the page design. I probably shouldn't have given them my CC# to hold this truck for me...

1988 JEEP COMANCHE LERADO "LIKE NEW" SURVIVOR WITH ONLY 15,459 ORIGINAL MILES If this is real THIS is what I'd consider a $20k example...or at least closer than any I've ever seen.

Are people really paying $11k for MJ's with roached out paint like this one? Not exactly what I would consider "clean".

I'll second Vice Grip Garage: https://www.youtube.com/c/ViceGripGarage/videos Funny, down to earth wholesome guy who obviously knows his stuff. Didn't see DiResta mentioned yet?: https://www.youtube.com/user/jimmydiresta He has a lot of various restoration videos but he's a old school YouTube maker that's done a lot to help out the newer channels. Odd Tinkering has a good amount of good restoration videos of various kinds: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf_suVrG2dA5BTjJhNLwthQ If anyone likes furniture this guy knows a lot about restoring high quality American furniture: https://www.youtube.com/user/johnsonrestoration This Old House, nothing more needed to say: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUtWNBWbFL9We-cdXkiAuJA

PM'd thanks.

Starting to actually commit to a build style and the Beach Cruiser is the winner. Want to start it off right with a set or turbines. Let me know what you have and we can work it out from there. Thanks!

Any advice? I've been meaning to do this for a while and will have some time coming up. I'm novice at soldering but have been taking the time to practice.

I'm in for a set depending on price.

I'm in for a pair if you're planning on selling them.

I've seen this and it works really well. Think they use a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide + UV light.

Good option is a 94+ aluminum valve cover. I had the same oil leak issue with the plastic cover. Once I traded it out for aluminum one off a '94 wrangler with the rubber felpro gasket it was gone.

Oh, I'm sure they're not 100% clean. I definitely have plans to redo the interior and coat the floors after I clean them up.

dang...like I needed another reason to put in a 4.0
