Steve B. Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Finally getting around to starting this process. Picked up my second Jeep last summer (2016), MJ Pioneer, I-6, Manual, 4x4, Short Box.

Steve B. Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 A month after I bought it I found someone parting out an MJ to do an XJ conversion and I picked up a number of items for $150. Got exhaust manifold, front quarter panels, bench seat, interior door panels, front end grill, interior door panels, wiring harness and a few other misc. parts.

I have found other parts. Don't want to try the junk yard because I am sure the rubber needs replacements, which puts me in the same place I am now trying to separate the two. Any sources out there? I coated the back side of the headliner insulation with a rubberized coating to add rigidity and improve the road noise transmission. And the first completed item: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
