Interesting. The one I purchased from CA Auto Parts does NOT have that 7/8" hole. Looks like that problem is solved. So all I need ot do know is find a replacement part for that black cap you indicate. Thanks for the time to provide those details.

Thanks guys. Ordered the Amazon version today, will be here Friday. That "the foam factory" site is great; lots of different stuff they carry. Did not know that Lowes carried a variety of rubber stuff as well; their flat stuff may be best suited for up against the cab. A pity they are 50 miles from me.

Picking up a Gem Top Camper Shell/Topper for the MJ tomorrow. Actually, I am meeting the hand-off Shipper (not the guys I contracted with) in a Phoenix Truck Stop tomorrow with a rented U-Haul truck... 100 miles short of the contracted-to destination... but that's another story... The seller indicated the mounting rubber for the bed was about 1" thick and 3" wide, with adhesive securing the rubber to the bed edge. He removed the Topper a while ago, so I have no basis of info to replace the rubber with something as close as possible to the original. Whatever he used - it provided a dead level install with the cab. Amazon has a wide variety of options; from low density door-seal type of stuff to solid rubber. The closest I can find to what i think would work is attached - but it is only 1.5" wide x 0.5" height. I cannot find anyone in the Tucson area selling rubber parts of this type. Anybody with a Topper seen or have a replacement source for something similar? TIA.

Dang. Good work if you can get it...

And it appears the front shocks have a remote reservoir? He is asking $12k, but the sign in the door appears to indicate $8700. 43355547_Red88inSDonFBMP.pdf 1040296594_Red88inSDonFBMP2.pdf

Hey Airborne Janitor - Thanks for the offer! This is still sitting on a counter in its bag -a failed water pump led to pre-emptively replacing some other 176k mile/30 year old stuff, and now half the darn engine bay is in disarray... Sigh. I just measured the one I purchased from CA Aoto: the hole is 33mm diameter - call it a hair less than 1 5/16". If yours is the same - I am hoping it is, but I have no idea if the aftermarket is identical to the original - let me know and we can continue this in PM. Regards.

Found this on another forum. I believe the criteria they use is sound. Maybe someone can chime in? Can't check mine, as it is currently apart for a lot of deferred maintenance by the PO...

No problem. Thanks for trying to assist. Maybe I will have to switch to Firefox; I just hate having to transfer my bookmarks over, and re-learn a different flavor (this would be #3) of all the idiosynchracies (sp?) of a new browser. All to print a wysiwyg paper or pdf? This is progress? Sigh. Have a good evening.

Pete, Thanks for the reply. That seems to make no beneficial difference. see attached. It does change the color though... Sigh.

Interesting. I switched to Chrome, who has the largest market share. Same thing. See attachement. Unfortunately, I am stuck using either Chrome or Edge for work related software. Bummer.

Figured I would try something different. As the thread saved fine as an HTML (although it renamed to an MHTML), figured I would try an online converter, from MHTML to PDF. LOL. See attached. 1285168348_Let_sseeyourXJseatswaps!-JeepCherokeeForum.pdf

Did a search, and could not find this particular topic. Using MS EDGE, all updates. Whenever I find a thread I want to print, no matter what I use - file/print, Adobe PDF, or MS to pdf, the pages print... weird. See attached jpg of my latest MS to PDF file. I have seen this on other sites as well: like the Cherokee Forum, also attached. Their site is even worse, printing out lots of embedded html stuff. The only way I can print WYSIWYG (remember that?) is by saving the thread as an HTML file, and then always being forced to open it in a browser. Talked to our IT guy at work. "All sites are like that". Any ideas on how to print to obtain a true WYSIWEG PDF, or hard copy? Love the site. Thanks, Mitch aka pago cruiser

Anybody ever gone down this road? Did a search, and could not find anything. Italian leather, in your choice of colors! I like the look of the existing steering wheel, but my original leather is not restorable The final product looks good by their examples. 1986-92 Jeep Comanche steering wheel cover (redlinegoods.com)

No problem. This site is superb for the informational exchange. That did not sound fun dealing with this by the side of the road.

Sure. Mike at Gopher Bearing 520-622-3545. They close at 1630 Tucson time; about 45 minutes from the time stamp of this email. About that 91/92 HO bracket... if you try and press it out the front, guess what time it is... . . wait... . . time to either call your fav welder/machinist, get another bracket, because you just exploded your bearing stop...

As I am going through this now, figured I would provide an update on this process. 91 HP, 176000-mile. Non Renix. Per my local bearing house today (Gopher Bearing in Tucson), NSK is out of stock on the 665325, and will not have another production run until next year. Next year! (There is also a NSK 885586 listed as a replacement in the link above by strokermjcomanche, but I try to replace like with like - as it happens I did not need to go down that path) Gopher was able to find a surplus bearing house in Michigan who has 7 of the 665325 - make that 6 now... FYI in case anybody is needing to do this soon. Also - the Renix AC bracket is slightly different than the 91/92 HP AC bracket. Easiest way to tell is that the AC Compressor mounts on extended bosses on the Renix; and into recessed threads on the 91/92 HP. I have seen a few references for the Renix indicating the bearing is pressed out thru the front of the bracket. I can confirm that for the 91/92 HP the bearing presses out through the back.

schardein - thanks for the info on the TC; that should be in a sticky somewhere. Only Crown could provide a "valid" part number for the 91/92; all due to that boss - that is essentially a distraction. And the slightly larger boss hole on the other side. Good to know there may still be some good stock battery trays around. cruiser54 - "At the risk of hijacking my own thread..."

Not trying to say the odds are against you, but... the original part is some type of polymer (plastic), that was under-designed from the start. Just tightening down the nuts to put the stays in tension to "hold" the battery down stresses the threads cast into the base. 30 years of the front end bouncing around and owners replacing batteries (just one more turn oughta do it...) conspire to stress the threads - and the boss - beyond their limit. My bosses were split right at the threads. IMHO, this part should have been steel - or aluminum - from the start. But manufacturers keep trying to use plastic instead of metal - it keeps both costs and weight down. Though without sound engineering, there are often...issues. Maybe 5 or 6 years ago I was in the service bay of a Ford Dealer, talking to the manager about something. They had five (5) new customer hi performance V8 Mustangs all being worked on at the same time. All lined up, hoods opened, all the mechanics doing similar tasks. What are the odds? Finished my business, and asked the Service Manager whats up? Seems each of these V8's had Fords new polymer intake manifold. Ford had designed the manifold heater hose connection to literally just thread into a "reinforced" section of the "plastic" manifold. And every one of them failed at the threads. The replacement manifold had an aluminum section about the size of a pack of cigarettes cast into the same area - the remainder of the plastic manifold was unchanged. It was a full days job on every car. Ouch. If you want something cheap, listen to the bean counters. If you want it to last, listen to the engineers.

saveevryjp1998 - Thanks much for the response and the pic. It confirms that the mystery boss is unused. It is certainly perplexing however, why the...confusion... in part numbers for the 91/92. I do wish I could find a Mopar, but they appear to be unobtanium; like more than a few other parts. From the Crown site, I called a few dealers here in Tucson. (2) folks were open; neither had it, and both indicated it would take a week to get it from the warehouse Mass. I spent about an hour partially re-assemblying components; and came to the conclusion that I could not see where it was used. So then went back to cleaning and painting parts. Other than the mystery boss, there is (1) boss near the left that appear at least one size larger diameter. So I may need to make a bolt sleeve for the Timing Cover. Looks like you have done a lot of the work on my plate. At the risk of hijacking my own thread... My battery tray base hold-downs were split; and it's a long way to a JY for me. Found this guy making them out of steel. A little pricey, but it would take me a day to fab up what he has done, and my time is worth more than that. Still need to paint it though. Battery Tray Bolt-In - Jeep XJ/MJ - DirtBound Offroad Should be delivered next week.

The Dorman part appears exactly like the NAPA and the Omix Ada and the Pioneer. No Boss. What I thought was really weird was that the Merles guy was able to look up the NAPA # and find that it did NOT cover 91-92. The NAPA guy said it covered 84-92. Just spent some more time on the Crown site: they show the correct part, with a different part number from the ebay site. See red arrows on pic. So it appears this part will work with earlier 4.0's - the boss is...I guess... just not used. But the "84-92" covers from NAPA and Pioneer and Omix will NOT work on the 91 and 92. Sigh. What a pita. And another half day is gone...

Figured I would see what I could find on Ebay. Omix ADa - No Boss. Just checked on the Omix Ada site - the part number listed in the photo crosses to a 93-2001 4.0 Cherokee. In other words, NOT 91-92. Crown - Has the Boss. But the part # on the Ebay site (SX-9TFW) is not found on the Crown site - nor anywhere on google... The Crown site shows a "replaced" part # of 53020222: fitting 93-2001 Cherokee - with no boss. Again, 91-92 NOT listed. After looking at my hardware, I ...believe... that the bolt that goes in here is what the adjustable power steering pumps slides on. Without this boss, I would be looking at changing the power steering pump mounts - all because no one makes a correct TC replacement??? We have a local auto parts chain called Merles: they are usually the best go-to source in this area. They checked the NAPA # - and it indicates 84-90, and 93 up. Again, 91 and 92 are not covered. So: anyone with a 91 or 92 been down this road?

Just checked OReillys; theirs matches the NAPA cover - boss-less.

1991 4.0., PWR Steering, AC, stock engine. See Pics. Old cover has a boss adjacent to the 0-degree mark. New NAPA 600-5631 cover does not. Have parts in various stages of cleaning and painting; was just getting ready to paint this... I am not entirely sure this boss had anything attached; but then again it would seem odd to have a casting with a boss that is not used. NAPA indicates there is only one TC from 84 thru 92. No. Other. Options. Can anybody advise? Or take a pic showing what connects to this - if anything? Or reference a corrected part number? Finally get a weekend off from work and I am stuck chasing parts...
