  1. Damn those look good. I'll be ordering soon
  2. Good luck. I found one that was 99% but the parts that were worn off bugged me. Went with the even rarer '91 Briarwood dash bezel instead
  3. Same as the fog light switch I believe. They're available new but kinda pricey.
  4. I have one of his earlier builds in my 91. Great headliner, you'll like it I think.
  5. Didn't I make that? That's a trip down memory lane
  6. $50 a side not including the crossbody harness is an ok deal if the door harnesses are fully intact. I paid a little less than that including the x-body harness but of course I had to spend a couple hours on a cold rainy day in the junkyard removing door guts and removing the seats, console, and carpet to get to the crossbody harness. Are the door wiring harnesses uncut? They plug into the crossbody harness inside the truck, not inside the door. Obviously if this is a pick-and-pull type junkyard, just don't cut the harnesses when you remove the doors You'll want the crossbody harness from a 91 or 92 XJ since everything is pretty well self contained for those years... or just make your own. Earlier years have problems with very slow lock actuators and later years have the relays in the dash harness IIRC. You'll want to grab the fusebox taps and circuit breakers that go with them. I don't see why people say to replace the doors when doing the power window swap unless you need new doors anyway. Replacing the old manual regulators, adding the wiring, and adding the lock actuators was not difficult.
  7. Yeah, IMO gauge dimming is critical at the very least. Other stuff like the climate controls and the radio (ahem) is a matter of opinion, but I don't think I could deal with non-dimming gauges. Some of the nicer ones hide a PWM dimming circuit inside the bulb base as far as I know. Not sure about smaller bulbs like 194s. The stock rheostat will not sufficiently dim just the LED by itself.
  8. Hold your nose, I'm on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/jeremysradioemporium/
  9. Floor shift, yes. Column shift, no. Guess they didn't feel like making a tach cluster with the gear indicator.
  10. I don't have anything there either.
  11. Is this 2871W worth of actual LEDs or 2871W equivalent? If it's the latter the draw will be less. A lot less. If this portable death ray actually draws 2871W... holy crap. That's a lot of LEDs.
  12. Hey I actually did something to this article! Added the AR-7750 and greatly improved some pics. I built a whitebox to take good pics in, and I will be replacing bad pics as I get the opportunity. Every radio is now on the website.
  13. The MJ's heater when in good working order is quite good at moving air in my experience. Ditto what Dzimm said, I'd open up the recirculation door and peek at the blower motor. Also make sure the air is coming out from where it should be, i.e. not blowing at the windshield - that would indicate a vacuum leak somewhere.
  14. Hmm, I don't see it on any of my PM conversations. Maybe it's a permissions thing?
  15. I want to find a set of black dash trim that isn't crumbled to pieces first, but I'm probably going to put the woodgrain back on. It's not the car from my childhood without it. Now that it's cooled down some I've been driving the '91 instead of this. Over the winter I'm going to work on the front end, then get some tires put on. It needs tires pretty bad, but needs front end work first.
  16. Hmm, yeah I see, that's not good. Alexia? Somebody? (for what it's worth I use enough space for pics that I still use imgur)
  17. See where it says under the posting area "Drag files here to attach, or choose files" - you can either find the pic you want to upload on your PC and drag it onto the window, or click "choose files" and find it that way. Once you do this, you'll always be able to use it by clicking on "Insert other media" and then "insert existing attachment"
  18. Someone must be figuring out my secrets. Last night on my eBay feed I found a 56007214 with an aux jack that I definitely did not build. There is room for only one in this market, and I will compete relentlessly. I considered taking down my DIY aux instructions, but that would be unfair to you guys. The instructions will stay. Meanwhile, check out my new website! Things are very, very WIP right now, but I'm gradually filling things in. The entirety of the "What Minuit Knows..." article will eventually be added with a full interactive table of contents to make things easier to read. In the future I'll probably be adding an e-commerce system. Suggestions, proofreading, and bug reports for the site are appreciated. If you own one of my products, feel free to send me a pic and I will add it to the site. Pricing on the site does not factor in the $15 CC discount. You may also encounter my radios on eBay, now even more obviously branded as mine. If you are a CC member, do not buy them there, as prices are higher to accomodate eBay's insane fees. Under the "Products and Services" tab you can find new pics of blue and orange LED illumination installed in an AM-FM only radio. You can also download a sample owner's manual for a Chrysler AM-FM unit! Owner's manuals are now shipping with all Standard and Special series radios.
  19. Discount from Jeremy's Radio Emporium still applies for this challenge, and will apply for all scavenger hunt challenges!
  20. He's looking for CAD drawings of an MJ. As in, computer aided design, not central axle disconnect. Unfortunately I have no idea where or if such a thing exists.
  21. Two factory diesels! The ad says it comes with a running 87 diesel XJ for parts.
  22. I say go for it. I'm still in. Ditto on not feeling like halloween. I don't think I've seen a single pumpkin either. Except in this thread, duh.
  23. You should show that off more! I didn't even know we had an Instagram page until yesterday. Good work!
  24. Love it. Any shade of silver on an MJ is just right
  25. I concur.
