You better watch out. She'll come back to bite you. Pretty dog, BTW

I'm guessing that because of the size and the manual trans, it is a diesel.

No. The bases are shaped differently.

These may make me want to take on the dreaded "C101 Elimination" for my Renix.

That's easy for you to say.

Crop cut

Several movies I saw as a child in the '70s that I still will watch when I see them on: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Lots of big name actors from the '50s starred in it. It is just a crazy movie. Stalag 17 with William Holden and Perter Graves. The Great Escape. Based on true events from WWII. Steve McQueen was great. He did his own motorcycle stunts (I read that on the internet, so it must be true.)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The opening scene (after the credits) set the tone for the rest of the movie. Of course, having watched all the Flying Circus shows prep'ed me for Holy Grail.

I have it on my calendar for this year. I take back what I said a few years ago. I will enter my MJ on the field.

The phrase is now "climate change." It's gotten so bad that every six months it swings from one extreme to the other, then back again six months later.

If you haven't done so yet, you will need to change the oil pressure switch to a sensor and the engine temp switch to a sensor. The switched just turn on an idiot light. The sensors send a signal to the gauge. The volt and fuel should work in either type of cluster. First make sure the cluster is good - not a fried circuit panel.

I'm sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers go out to your family

The panel on the back wall. The head liner. The B pillar panels. The seat brackets. Parking brake pedal assembly. These (and I am sure I missed some) are all unique to the MJ (vs XJ).

yes

My wife has an aunt in Smithsburg. I have client just east of there also. You should check the vacuum lines going into/coming out of the HVAC control box. The vent doors are operated by vacuum, so a leak in any of those will affect where the air blows. Also, try back flushing the heater core. If it hasn't already been done, you should remove the heater control valve.

kb, I am in New Market, MD. Good to see another MJ owner near me in MD.

The American flag one is not bad. I do like it. I just like 2 and 3 more. Also, the MJ owners to the north may want red and white. Perhaps the fenders and hood red, the doors and roof white w/ a maple leaf on the doors, and a red bed. Just my 2¢.

There is no diff between MJ and XJ clusters. Clusters from 87 - 90 are inter-changeable from MJ to XJ; the same for 91 and 92. For 87-90, there were three types: 1) No tach, w/ large gas gauge on left side and idiot lights, 2) No tach, w/ gas gauge, and gauges for temp, amp, and oil (3/4 gauge set), and 3) a full cluster, w/tach and gauges.

My vote is for #2 or #3

On a private facebook group, someone is selling a 2500 front clip. He's in Martinsburg WV. Asking $350. PM me and I will provide contact info, if interested.

That blue connector is from an 86 XJ/MJ. I pulled a similar one from an 86 MJ. My 87 has the black connector.

You know you're old when... You remember that commercial.

I updated my profile and my location on the map. Thx.

You should probably have a 34 tooth gear. Search on “Al Gore’s Amazing Internet” for the proper gear for Jeeps with your tire size and diff ratio

The electric fan is triggered by a thermostat on the radiator. When the coolant temp reaches 195* the thermostat switch closes completing the circuit. This then activates the relay that will power the e-fan. Since you have an 88, there is the complete factory wiring diagram available on CC. See Pete M. signature for the DIY link. Edit: The e-fan is also triggered when the AC is turned on (assuming you have AC).
