Don, this site says the check digit is not correct, should be 8 http://jeep.avtograd.ru/VIN/vin_de.asp (in German) the English version isn't working anymore.
You're correct it can be an '87 :thumbsup: (actually '87-'89), but I'm still guessing '88 only because there are more '88s registered here on CC :yes:.
It is used to lower the tire down. Put it in the hole through the rear for the tire winch and then put the crank in it. Most were lost long ago.
I know for a fact that type of lug wrench and "adapter" did not come on '90 models but not sure when they changed. I did find them in an '86 at the JY, now they're in my '88.
O.K. now you're just throwing in "Strange Brew" references ;)

Thanks, any input on good brands? NAPA, O'Reilly, Autozone are the parts stores by me.
Just removed the calipers (not disconnected yet waiting for input to purchase), the right one was dragging very badly.
I see there are brake calipers with OE Phenolic Piston or Metal Piston. Is there and advantage of one over the other? The metal is more expensive, worth it?
Also, what does semi-loaded mean in a caliper description?
