  1. Stolen from Pete
  2. Why are all the b-pillars wrong?
  3. You can’t write dirt on this board?
  4. My ‘90 also has that connector, but my ‘89 and ‘88 don’t. ‘90 was a transitional model year, for example the knee panel courtesy light connectors changed and are the same as ‘91 on.

    Wheel safe

    Hi Jesse, heard of your accident a couple months ago, I was wondering where you had been. Glad to hear from you and hang in there, looks like a great bunch of people around you.
  6. I don’t know but they all seem to have ‘97+ front ends.
  7. To me it looks like the temperature sensor plug found in XJs. Aren’t fog light plugs weatherpack?
  8. Installed front AMC splash guards to match the rears. Mounted them behind the fender flares like the rears with custom brackets. Here's the DIY write up.
  9. I never liked how the front splash guards attach to the MJ/XJ so I made a pair of brackets that will locate them behind the fender flares similar to the MJ rear set up. I made both from a single piece of 6”x18” 16g steel sheet (stainless would be nice) easily found at Home Depot, cut in half lengthwise. Thicker stock may be better but I have sliders and the splash guards touch them so there's no chance of the brackets bending. The left and right are mirror images and use the same template, the difference is the direction of the bends. I used a jig saw with a carbide blade to cut everything and a flap disc to smooth things out, then sanded any sharp edges. The brackets mount using the fender rear most attachment Torx bolt by inserting the bracket between the pinch seam and U-nut, a single hole drilled in the frame and screw secures the other end. The brackets have a slotted hole so they can be adjusted fore/aft as necessary. The splash guards then need trimming to fit the profile of the body and drilling for the brackets. I used MJ rears as templates to get the same radius for the outward section. A jig saw with a carbide blade made really nice cuts that were then kissed with a torch to finish them. For those of you squeamish at the thought of NOS AMC splash guards being butchered please look away. Here is the installed finished product. I opted for the splash guard in front of the bracket but behind “should” work.

  10. That will be a fun project. Congrats!!!
  11. Approximately 31” for the SWB bar.
  12. @Sugarfootdo you still have those AMC rear louvers?
  13. On eBay in Mayfield, NY $6k starting bid.
  14. Did you put your grill upside down on purpose?
  15. I have a hard copy printed off the internet (single sided), free just pay postage. PM me if interested.
  16. Congrats! Love what you two do.
  17. I assume you can. You can even cut off the bottom panel portion.
  18. Noooooo!
