Hint the ground for the fuel pump and sending unit is behind the driver's side tail light.

Yeah AMC used a similar inline box which they bought from Ford and was used in a lot of 1970's era Ford's and 1980's AMC's.

I know that GM trucks do not use an intermittent module like the Jeeps do. My dad has a 89 Chevy and the intermittent circuit is housed in the wiper motor.

That looks fantastic.

This is exactly what I am thinking. I will pull it apart this weekend and find out what I am working with.

Talked to the machine shop today and hopefully by next Friday the engine will be done and I can start putting it together. Also I picked up a TJ Dana 44 to put in. The previous owner said the pinion bearing went out shortly after a rebuild and was done messing with it so he bought new G2 axles instead. Which is good news for me as I paid only $200 for it. Lots of brackets to cut off to fit the Eagle, but for the price I couldn't pass it up. It has 4.10 gears and a Yukon Zip air locker in it. It will get a full rebuild with 3.55 gears.

Not sure. The factory shifter body has a groove that remains the factory style boot. The Cosmo shifter doesn't look to have that groove.

No but I was looking at them earlier today. They are cheaper on their website. I don't think it comes with a boot you would have to source one. https://cosmoracing.com/en/jeep-comanche-1989-1992-4-0l-6cyls-ax15-5-speeds-sport-short-shifter-jeep

Sticker shock maybe but the B&M short shifter is going for anywhere between $400 on to $470 on Summit. So it is nice to see a cheaper option. I just don't know if it would be worth the cheaper price or just bite the bullet and go with a B&M.

Novak released a short throw AX-15 shifter back in January of this year has anyone tried it yet? It is basically just a taller version of the factory shifter using the factory service parts. Right now it is $375. https://www.novak-adapt.com/forum/d/57-new-product-ax15-short-throw-shifter

If I was tackling this project I would cut off the control arm mounting brackets and fix the frame first. Then decide if you want to switch to long arms or keep the stock setup. If you do long arms there are lots of good kits out there. If you want to keep it stock I would use this kit from Barnes4wd. It is out of stock right now but would be a great option. https://barnes4wd.com/products/xj-front-chassis-replacement-brackets

I thought it was more common but after looking it seems to be only '89-'91 had it as an option. They are made new though. But for $47+ shipping it might not be worth the gamble. Also given it was only an option after AMC was finished they probably used different parts. https://teamgrandwagoneer.com/rear-wiper-arm-gw-1989-1991/?srsltid=AfmBOoqviaQi2sNExI5Vs5LT7HsJwa5EdlNG8h4VRauvB28gMgdZIVMI

That is awesome! I love finding Jeep parts that can be made to work on the Eagles. I wonder if a FSJ rear wiper arm is actually a perfect match? They seem to share more parts than the XJ.

Which style do you need? The early 84-96 antennas are available aftermarket. Crutchfield XJ/MJ antenna However the 97+ are not available anywhere and you will only find one in the junkyard or eBay.

The ultimate reason I switched to the open system was due to failing pressure tank caps. My truck nearly over heated twice because of a failed cap. It seems like the biggest reason to switch to the open system is to eliminate that tank.
