simmonsm Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Love it! What color is that? I can't remember the paint code off of the top of my head but, it's "Gunmetal" under the dupont chromabase paint, it's the same light blue they used on cherokees from 97'-98' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you know or remember it (there pretty rare, fewer than the blue). Always wanted that blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I didn't even know they made that color, I looked it up on NAXJA, "emerald green" sound right?Only for showed for 97' if so that is a nice color I've been meaning to ask, I thought I seen somewhere your truck originally was built in NC? Any idea where or any original build blog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmonsm Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hey, this is Mark, I have been converting my 87' Sportruck to a 1999 and have finally got to the wiring. I have a couple of questions to the guys who have done this project before or are doing it now. First, since the XJ harness has splits into two harnesses for the tail lights and the MJ is one up untill the rear bumper, would I just cut say the XJs passenger side tail light harness and only use the driver's side to mate to the MJs? Â Â Also, I have the pigtail for the MJ which only has four wires (I removed the fuel pump lines) which are BLUE, BROWN, BROWN/WHITE, and GREY/BLACK. Â Now, all that I need to know is which wires from the MJ will cordinate to those ;of the XJ which hase eight wires, BROWN/WHITE, GREEN/RED, BROWN/GREEN, BLACK, WHITE/TAUPE, BROWN/YELLOW,BROWN/RED, and RED/ORANGE Of these eight wires on the XJs female three terminate and don't crossover to the XJs male, is there any reason for this? Â All this for these two plugs to fit each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmonsm Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 When I plug in the black ground from the driver's tail light to the MJ male pigtale, I will have five wires in the mj and five in the xj, I plan on using the mj male and female pigtail with the xj wires inserted in the mj female pigtale. If no one can understand my jibberish I will try to clarify :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmonsm Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Maybe some pics tomorrow, I havn't gave up on the mj.... I've got most of the interior in and I have the engine and tranny both in, so since I'll have some time off this week I can hopefully get this thing running here soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Change out the XJ connectors for weather proof ones. Â Extend the MJ wiring to reach the XJ connectors. Â Make the top bulb on the MJ the brake lights. Â Make the lower bulbs the turn signals. Â Wire the two parking lights together the keep both top and bottom bulbs lit. Â This will mimic the way the XJ lights are wired. Â I did this to Onyx and it was easy to do. I do not think you can get the stock XJ wiring to just plug into the MJ wiring and not have the lights fight each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
