They were an option in the CJ as early as 1983. Maybe earlier.

I'm planning a trip soon and have room to transport things for people if anyone wants me to be a courier. I'm going to be heading through TX to visit friends, then continuing on to Atlanta to visit @Pete M to pick up a tailgate, then heading home via a more direct route. I plan on leaving on Thursday 11/19 after work and getting in to new Mexico. Then on to DFW on Friday. Then most of the way to Atlanta on Saturday, finishing up the drive there on Sunday, 11/22. From there I head up through Nashville and over through St. Louis and back through to Colorado by some time on Tuesday. I'll be in an F150 and I'll have a bit of room to carry even some bulky/heavy stuff. If you want me to haul anything, let me know when and where to meet you. I still have the battery tray parts, 2WD Peugeot BA10/5, and 23 spline short input NP231 with the SYE installed. Wouldn't mind finding a home for those on the way. They are in the for sale section. The skid plates i believe are spoken for (but not finalized). My rough route:

That's the ones I have. If you want them they're yours. I'll be coming down through Amarillo to DFW then through to Louisiana on I20. If you're anywhere near there I can meet you.

I have a couple plastic pieces. My short bed only came with the two. I'm replacing them with custom ones I'm going to make. I'm going to be heading through DFW soon if you want them.

I have had these a long time. But they're just collecting dust now. A couple of sanders, a couple of drills, and a circular saw. They all still work. I don't know much about them except for what is on the labels and box. One of the drills has no labels. The other drill has an unreadable label beyond saying Black & Decker. $50 plus shipping from 80108.

You may want to give these a try... https://www.quadratec.com/products/16751_02.htm Edit: they are out of stock. These are more expensive but available https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ssh-bwc601?srsltid=AYCX9vKf50IjhMX93nk0YHQPQyC1YYLnbNRzB6AzCWvN7ebXaGe7D5jl

A number of those driers have a port where you screw in the pressure switch. Look for a plastic plug in the one you got. Usually up by the top. You will need to put something in that hole one way or another. On RockAuto's website, under Electrical-Switch & Relay, there is an A/C Refrigerant Pressure Switch. They're pretty cheap.

I did work on commercial airline cockpit systems. And a couple of military planes.

I spent a good portion of my career working on glass panels for several aircraft. And, for what it's worth, my father worked on the first civilian digital cockpit systems starting in the late 70s. So not a big leap for me.

So, dad was an engineer working on avionics too. He was fully instrument rated. I remember a flight one day taking off into the clouds with zero visibility the whole way. He used the NAV radios with DME and charts, knowing exactly where we were the whole time. I had learned enough to follow along. This was back well before civilian GPS. We did a full instrument approach and dropped out of the clouds with the runway right in front of us. The technology was what I got interested in.

My dad owned a share of a Comanche way back in the day. We flew all over the Midwest in that plane. He let me do a few basic maneuvers one afternoon when he was doing touch-and-gos to stay current. I learned a lot about avionics and even went into designing cockpit electronics after college. But never got the bug to get my license.

I'm guessing with that bent pushrod, you're going to do some significant repair work while it's apart?
