We got a new windshield last winter for our '89 MJ. The windshields are still easy to come by and any windshield shop should be able to take care of you. I called around and went with the cheapest and it's turned out great.

Jeep did slightly modify the grille and headlight brackets after 91? The pieces are easy to find and cheap though. You'll need to replace the headlight surround on the driver side because the top piece that you are missing is integrated into the the grille and headlight surrounds on the header you have. Here's a link to the headlight surrounds on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Titanium-Plus-1991-1996-1991-1992-Passenger/dp/B076C7PWRK/ref=sr_1_1?crid=126YDBRLGVBGV&keywords=Titanium+Plus+Autoparts+Head+Light+Door+Bezel+Front+Right+Passenger+Side+Headlight+Surround+Headlight+Bezel+Compatible+For+1991-1996+Cherokee+Comamche+5BL62KW7+CH2513124&qid=1697122447&sprefix=titanium+plus+autoparts+head+light+door+bezel+front+right+passenger+side+headlight+surround+headlight+bezel+compatible+for+1991-1996+cherokee+comamche+5bl62kw7+ch2513124%2Caps%2C398&sr=8-1

We've been happy with using fleece purchased from a fabric store. It's also been our experience that close is good enough when it comes to the color of the headliner. We installed gray on the headliner of our dark blue interior MJ because we had some fabric left over from our gray interior XJ and the neutral color doesn't look out of place.

I think so too. Our white exterior has dark blue interior.

I saw one batter tray T-bolt last night. There is another one around if my 2 year old hasn't carried it off. I recently bought a battery top bracket on Amazon. Are you looking for these parts or letting us know you have them?

Sounds similar to an issue we had. This was our temporary solution. Haven't gotten back to a more permanent solution.

Ah, so like an early version of the the little black globe in my 94 and 95 Cherokee Sports. I assume this isn't needed to make the sun visors work and that the bracket in the ceiling of the MJ is spaced the same?

Found a guy parting out an '89 Laredo Cherokee. I asked him for sun visors and in the photos he sent I noticed this console between the sun visors. He said it was in this condition when he got it. What is supposed to attach to it? A clock? Reading lights? Is this something worth picking up for the MJ and can it be repaired?

We picked up a push bar a month or so ago and decided to do something fun and put it on this weekend. Looks similar to the one @oleskool installed, but without the bars around the headlights. Clearly the push bar is specific to XJ/MJ because it hugs the bumper and grille. Now we need to install some fog lights! Before: On the bumper: After (almost done anyway):

Not the tire expert here, but some empirical data. A while back I put LT tires on my stock 95 XJ and the tires lasted for 80K miles. They were sun rotting before they finally wore out. When they finally were getting sketchy for driving in snow I went back to the tire store, told the guy at the desk they ran for 80K and said I wanted another set. He couldn't believe that I had gotten 80K and had to come look for himself. On my second set of those. Lately I've been buying used LT tires on the other two Jeeps (because new tires cost more than the value of the vehicle) and have been having good luck with those.

"Jared L" (the "J" in JZLA) inspired this article after we saw this in AZ this summer. https://www.theautopian.com/someone-combined-a-ford-excursion-with-a-volkswagen-new-beetle-and-made-this-v10-powered-monster/

Fender liners are amply available on Amazon too. https://www.amazon.com/Titanium-1984-1996-Cherokee-1984-1990-1986-1992/dp/B076C4TJ1J/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=jeep+cherokee+fender+liner&qid=1690261016&sprefix=jeep+cherokee+fender+lin%2Caps%2C188&sr=1-6&vehicle=1995-42-347-141--30-8-8-3330-242-8--19-14-1&vehicleName=1995+Jeep+Cherokee We passed up a decent factory rear bumper because we couldn't track down the end caps.

When I called to insure the Comanche the first time the insurance company asked me if I was planning to use it to plow snow. I thought that an odd and random question, until now...

Yes, we flushed it a few months ago and it's definitely burped. It never overheated before or since driving around town, it just needs a little more help offroading, when we're climbing gnarly grades with not a lot of air coming through the radiator. Although i am impressed that it runs at 150, all three of our jeeps like to run about 190, which makes sense since the stock thermostat is a 190.

On our last wheeling trip, the Comanche was having overheating issues. Nothing that couldn't be remedied by slowing down and giving it occasional breaks, but definitely annoying. It's an '89 Renix with just a mechanical clutch fan. The '94 and '95 High Output XJs never ever overheat, and they have an electric fan along with the mechanical fan. So I'm looking to add an electric fan to the Comanche. I have an electric fan from a '98 XJ, just need to install and wire it. Does the Renix hardware include any fan wiring like the High Output does, or is my best bet just to add an aftermarket electric fan switch and relay? I'd just hate to wire in a bunch of aftermarket stuff and then find out that the stock ECU supports an electric fan.

Where in Idaho? I happen to know some people in Idaho (us) that will be traveling to AZ in a month if you happened to want that one to come your way...

Boise Jalopy Jungle on State Street. We may go pull it. Can't let an AX-15 get crushed. We previously retrieved the AX-15 and transfer case that is in our Comanche at the Nampa Jalopy Jungle.

Son was at a junk yard yesterday and said there was a Cherokee with an AX-15 and transfer case. We have them in all of our XJs and MJ so don't need another.

The J10 followed us home last weekend. Purchase price ended up being $650. Now we have another project...

The bed certainly has some rust issues. Otherwise it doesn't look too bad. Obviously it used to be red.

We are ending up with too many of those. The Comanche, a Cherokee, might as well add in a J10 right?!?

Little more info from my son: "[Owner] said it ran in the last month or two but the carb kept clogging up cuz the tank is rusty. Interior isn't bad. It's a straight 6 4spd 4wd [Owner] said he thought [the fuel tank] was bad enough to replace" So potentially tracking down a replacement tank or repurposing one from elsewhere sounds like it would be the first order of business. Neither sound easy, but not impossible.

The teenage boys of the family came across this J10 and the owner says he will sell it for $1,000. Has the straight 6 engine. Doesn't run, but ran when it was parked. Worth taking the risk?

Nice! They are getting hard to come by
