I need to replace my 88 4.0 valve cover gasket. While I'm at it, I'd like to spruce up the cover (either paint it or polish it) or replace it with an aftermarket one. I can't locate an aftermarket cover that says it will fit an 88 4.0. Will a later model xj valve cover fit? what changes are required? Thanks!

Jim: I'd like it also. I'll PM you with my email Thanks!

I bought a few items too. Thanks to everyone for the Heads Up on this as it saved me a few bucks.

:agree:

Mine sits outside the sheet metal also.. but only about 1/4 inch...Is the window supposed to have rubber weatherstripping around it on the outside to seal it to the metal? or?

Thanks for the info and clarification on the MJ tailights. I'll keep that in mind when I'm at my firendly jy. Right now I don't need either side but spares would be nice to have... Also I read thru the thread on the color changed console but didn't understand exactly what he used. I'll re-read again.. Yes the truck is from TN..do you know it? Thanks again...

I recently purchased my first MJ and and am beginning to get it back in shape/condition. I found this forum site about 10 days ago and each day since have read lots of Great Ideas and Solutions. The amount of information compiled is amazing and my Thanks to everyone who has contributed. I'll do my best to share anything and everything I can. That said, here are a couple of questions I have so far that I haven't been able to find answers to: 1. Which year models full length consoles from xj's will work in my 88 4X4 5spd?..is the automatic console the "same" as the 5 spd? or do I need to locate a console from a 5 spd model? How paintable/dyable are they? 2. According to several posts, the MJ taillights are unique. Which years are interchangeable with my 88? That's it for now. Thanks again and Best Regards to All.

I have a pretty good quality label that's not attached to the vehicle I can scan or photo. it's slightly yellowed but not torn or stained. I'm new to the forum and haven't set up an account to web host my pics yet but if you'd like me to email the scan for your review, I'll do that now. Otherwise give me a day of 2 to get set up to post the pics on the forum.
