Minuit Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Understood :thumbsup: My schedule is gonna free up over the next week, so I can actually start working on stuff.

Minuit Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Started putting things in alphabetical order and editing titles for clarity. If you see an asterisk (*) next to an entry, that means the post is missing one or more pictures. Should be able to work on it for about another hour later on today. As I'm considered a moderator in the DIY projects subforum, any questions, concerns, cries of outrage, and suggestions can be directed to me as well. If you see any weirdness with how the list looks, don't be alarmed. I can't easily save a copy of the post on my computer, so I have to edit the post and resubmit it to make changes, and if I'm in the middle of something that means the list might look strange for some amount of time.

buxmj Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 This list is awesome Minuit, thanks for taking the time to organize all this! Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Alright, so with Photobucket screwing everyone over with their new hotlinking policy many of the writeups on this list that were working before now have no pics. I'm going to start moving pics over to my own imgur account. I'll be marking the ones with broken pics with a regular asterisk. This will be a tedious job but you can help out! Here's how: - Find a writeup that has broken pics that say "100% third party hosting usage" on them. All photos that are hosted on Photobucket really need to be moved, but the ones that are broken are a priority. The more an image is seen the more likely it is to be broken. Some pics may work now, but once more people have looked at them they may break. - Right click on the "100% third party hosting usage" pics, and click on "open in new tab" or whatever the equivalent for your browser is. The picture should now show up. - Download these pics to your hard drive - Upload them to www.imgur.com - Send links of these re-uploaded photos to either me or an admin as well as the title of the writeup. I have editing privileges on the DIY forum so I can replace pictures in writeups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjhendrix Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Where can I find the conversion from bench seat to buckets. I didn’t see it in the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 which buckets? MJ buckets go right in (except for the female seat belt end that won't have the plastic sheath that holds it up). most 84-95 XJ buckets can be bolted to your current floor brackets. or you can get creative with any ol' buckets you find in the junkyard. each will take a different adaptation approach though.

Submariner Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I am looking at replacing my door windows in my 88MJ with a window from a 99 cherokee. don't want to change the door it self but change the window. Get rid of the wing window that does not open. My door is good as well as the hinges (so far). Is this a doable change? I did not see anythng about this or did I just miss it?

Pete M Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I don't see one either. you should post up in the Tech forum and see if anyone has a link to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
