  1. No. I can figure out replacements though.
  2. I'm converting to tow mirrors that I found in the junkyard off another MJ. The passenger side glass is missing. What's the best source for replacement glass? If there isn't one, what is a good source for a replacement mirror head with glass? It doesn't have to look 100% exact, just close.
  3. Yeah, there's several aftermarket options. And that's my fall back.
  4. I've never taken one of the factory switches apart. I don't know how easy it would be to modify them. I have a few switches to play with. I might try taking them apart to see.
  5. That would be awesome if you can do it.
  6. I've done worse. Glad you got it figured out.
  7. Saw that. I am going to roll my own.
  8. Yeah, my goal is to have 3 choices: 1. Factory normal operation (off) 2. Force first gear (on 1) 3. Force second gear (on 2) And I want to do it so that if the computer wants 3rd or 4th, the switches are bypassed. I have the wiring and relays figured out. I have an aftermarket switch that would work. I would prefer a factory style switch if one exists.
  9. So I'm planning some modifications for my project Jeep. I'm looking at using one of the factory switch holes for a custom function. Short version is I want a toggle switch that will let me force first or second gear when I shift down to 1-2, or to leave it in "factory mode" where it shifts itself. I have the wiring figured out with a couple of relays. I just need a switch. An aftermarket switch will work but if I can find one that looks factory, it would be cooler. The switch needs to be a single pole double throw switch with on-off-on positions. It would work similarly to the XJ rear wiper/washer switch except that the wash position on the XJ switch is a momentary switch (i.e. it goes back to off when you take your finger off it). What I want is to be able to set the switch up, down, or middle and it stays there until I switch it again. Was there ever an application that used an on-off-on switch that wasn't a momentary switch? If so, where would I find one?

    I found a 44!

    I like to show off my rear end as well but that usually gets me in trouble.

    We'll all sit over here.
  13. It was early 90's. '96 certainly has 23 splines. According to this: https://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1053970, they made the switch in the AW4 mid year in 1990
  14. I ran into him on the trail yesterday. The truck looks good and did well on the obstacles on Hatchet Gulch (moderate/difficult trail). He'll have a new muffler on it in the coming days. It dropped off on the trail.

    Going to grab both
  17. Measure them against the stock arms. Put in 2 or 3 turns extension. Go to the alignment shop and have them dial it in.

    Yeah, I'd have to drive into Denver. Looks like $170 or so to ship it. 6 days transit time.

    Greyhound is reasonable, if a bit slow, if you don't mind picking it up at the bus terminal.

    I can grab anything you want. The interior is black.

    Yeah, I don't mind having a little bit of cash tied up for a while if someone really wants it. @jdog, you want it?

    I don't really feel up to putting in a lot of manual labor for it. But I'd snag it if someone else wants it. I will check out the valve cover.
  24. Like everything else, the corporations noticed they were losing out on a profitable segment so they came in, took over, and ruined it. I remember listening to alternative music long before it became mainstream. Back then it was "college radio". Back before it became "I'm rebelling against the mainstream, just like everyone else."

    We're going back tomorrow. I can grab it if you want it.
