thats why google is your best friend :chillin:

 

I found this place via Google. If I wanted just to find an emblem, I could have Googled. I was hoping for more than just a Google. I was hoping for advice on who to buy from, and maybe an endorsement. Or maybe if someone had one they wanted to sell, etc.

 

I was in college using the internet before Al Gore was even elected. ;)

I can't speak for the badge, but I have had excellent luck using Morris 4x4 (jeep 4x4 center).

 

I have had much better luck with them than jeepsareus as far as shipping time and customer service. Plus their website is much easier to use!

true or try junkyard? I'm sure that your local junkyard have plenty of them if they do

What color do you want? I have a set of the aluminum-painted ones (matte instead of shiny chrome) somewhere from my '96's old header panel, they're yours for shipping if (a) I can find them and (B) you want them.

 

They need new adhesive, but that's no big deal, a roll of Loctite Power Grab is something you should have around anyways :D

Two points:

 

1) It isn't "a" badge. The '86 should be four separate letters.

 

2) The '86 should use the pin-through style. The stick-ons didn't come into use until the 90s. Does your truck have the original header, or a replacement?

OK, I need the front letters.

 

I purchased the vehicle used. There are no holes in the front bezel. I suppose I can make one if needs be. I can't feel any indentations on the inside, either. It seems to me, though, that the stick ons would work fine. So where does this leave us?

wyj your truck has the 97= header you need the letters off a 97 and up Cherokee.

 

Nice. I took a look around, and it does appear to be a 97 bezel. Thanks!

 

Would sumfin' like this work?:

most likely but it mught even be cheaper to go to a junkyard and get the letters of an xj. but in truth idk how the letters mount on the newer ones so i can't offer much advice..

 

Psh - it'll cost me $5 in fuel alone there and back to the junk yard. Then there's whatever they wanna charge to get in, and the 100* heat. I think I will lean back in my Lane Recliner in the AC and push buttons instead. ;)

 

Thanks for the help, mang,

I have a busted 97+ header with good 'J e e p' letters. I almost put it in the trash today. Let me know if you want them so I can pull them tomorrow. Can be yours for the cost of packing/shipping.

 

Thanks a bunch, man. I just bought some on line, tho. We'll see how they turn out...
