Don has a factory radio in his truck so it would stick out like a sore thumb.

schardein Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 This came out of a 1987 XJ. Date stamped Aug 85 with part number 8955002240. Unmolested, but definitely used.
HOrnbrod Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 Yeah, that's about the best conditioned ones I have been able to find so far. Still hoping to dig up a NOS piece, but if not, I'll try my hand with a chrome pen.
TheJeepNut Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 If you've got a decent starting point, perhaps this gent can resolve the chroming issue. I've not had any work done yet, just one of the many links I've been browsing for 30 years... http://chrometechusa.com/index.html Or you could just go hog wild and gold leaf the shiny edges...

Thanks - I'll give him a shout.

Jeep Driver Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 https://www.ebay.com/itm/282845143517?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 I just listed this one. I have one with chrome also that is just as nice if not moreso, I'd rate the chrome at 85%.

Jeep Driver Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Overall the condition is very good, no scratches or dings or wear. The chrome may not be as good as I thought now that I look at it. I was saving this for myself but if you or someone else wants it, I'll let it go. It's just dirty from sitting in the garage, needs to be cleaned.
HOrnbrod Posted February 13, 2018 Author Posted February 13, 2018 Thanks for posting it up. It's looks good but the chrome needs touching up. I think back when these were manufactured the "silver/chrome" paint technology was lacking compared to todays, and even a new-in-the-box bezel would probably look aged. It just doesn't hold up like today's chrome accent colors do.
