Which material did you use for the sound deadening?

I used Cerakote Trim Coat. I’ve used it on exterior plastic and has held up very well so I expect it to do well on the switches long term. Some before and after pics. p.s. when they say use in a well ventilated area they’re not kidding, DO IT!!! Also make sure the coating is even when you’re done.

8k, search Craigslist in San Francisco Bay Area California for Honcho.

I think you learned from the beast. And here’s your J truck. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/berkeley-1983-jeep-honcho-j10-4x4/7433907189.html

This was several years ago so from what I recall it was about $100-$120 UPS for the AMC one. It was shipped bare with just the shipping label, it’s just under the oversize limit, the seller (fellow member) had to show the UPS guy how to measure it correctly, he originally wanted to charge oversize pricing.

Just keep looking one will turn up. I found mine in Ohio and had it shipped to California.

Hold out for OEM. The question is which type do you want, the older AMC style (1st photo) or the later MOPAR style (2nd photo).

I wanted to remove the chipped black coating of my windshield trim so I tried the heating method I found on here but got tired of touching hot metal, so this is what I did. Spray them with gasket remover, have a beer or two, scrape with a plastic scraper or even just paper towels then rinse well. Might have to reapply to stubborn areas. Worked great, no scratching! Then used chrome polish to clean them up.

Please post a picture of it. Thanks.

Those are gold!

My 88 Pioneer had those.

The part the filter screws onto had a metric thread pattern for the RENIX years.

Did you repaint the silver “reflector” part since it was chalky? If so what did you use?

Our great friends gave us a Blackstone griddle, first attempt at breakfast (second use overall). Still working out temperature regulation.

Old toothbrush and Oil Eater. I save all mine for stuff like this.

How about a picture?

Are you planning a write-up of how you disassembled/assembled the lights?

Some inspiration.

If you haven’t found this yet, it’s very helpful.

You should have made the trip to Sacramento, I’m only an hour away.

Good point, I assumed the previous owner looked at that since it’s easy.

Welcome, please add the VIN to the Registry section if not already there. If all are not working possibly a ground issue. This thread has the pin outs that may help.

Looks like you need a nice paint job for those to look proper. I’ll stick with my patinaed ones.
