That is really cool and will definitely reimburse you! Thanks for grabbing it, especially on Christmas eve, wow! Buck. I do! It is in the truck which is an hour and twenty minutes away . I have no idea when I will be able to bring it home with the two CJ projects here. I got the alert that they had a country edition in the yard. This was probably the only day I could get away in the near future. Merry Christmas my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buxmj Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Merry Christmas to you and your family also, that is an awesome age for your son to experience Christmas morning! When ours was about that age I put a toy kitchen together in the late night, Santa dropped it off of course. Buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Man, this just sucks. Driving home I hear a horrible noise that I thought was coming from the passenger side wheel well. It quickly stopped, so now I think I blew a belt out. Or worse the harmonic balancer. Pull in and looked at the wheel well and all good there. Now I was dreading what I was going to find under the hood. Apparently, a bolt came out of the fan shroud holding it in. It bit it quick-> The fan blades are tweaked -> Going over to tech to see if they can just be put back close to where they were, or do I have to get new. At least it didn’t further damage my leaking radiator. I just got the new shroud though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 One of our fellow CC’ers had an amazing under hood insulation pad. I need to go back and find out who replied to my comment but they let me know that they were available new . I went to team Cherokee as suggested and they had them for around $75. Heck yeah! Put it in my cart and went to check out and said 109. I thought that was a little steep to add 30 something dollars to ship it. I was not happy about it, but I would love with it. Almost pressed confirm until I looked at the total . They wanted $109 for shipping! Pack sand idiots. Ended up getting it for the same price at Team Grand Cherokee with free shipping-> It came with all the clips to hang it up too -> My pad was in rough shape. Stains, zip ties holding spots together and separation of the pad itself-> I Began to carefully take the pad off the hood when I thought what was I doing? Just started to rip it out at this point-> Got the pad off and it was filthy underneath it-> Used a brush and some degreaser on it and it came out pretty good -> Then I got it all in -> I like it . I realized that two of the holes in the pad did not the clip holes to hold down those sections of the pad. I drilled the holes, admittedly too large, and snapped one in. I lost the second clip but it showed up in the battery tray a day later. Buuut, in the process this happened-> The release rod broke at the weld . Now what?! I am going to the pick n pull at 8am to carefully pull one off either an 88 or 96 they have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 109 for shipping!! ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Yup. That was the price I paid for mine when I got it. It the size of it that kills the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 I looked everywhere online to find the hood latch release rod, but I couldn’t find anything, but what only looked like an expensive complete kit. I gave up and looked at the list of Jeeps they had in the lot at the LQK. They luckily had two Cherokee’s; 88 & 94. While there I was checking out the interior of the 88 when I noticed this -> Wow! 808237 miles . It also had this gem in it -> I ended up getting the rod off the 94 XJ because, in my mind, it had a heck less miles on it -> Not happy with how much how much I paid for a small piece of rod; $8, but not much I could do with no other option and a hood I can’t close. All good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Did you get the phone? That was a $1,400 option in '88 (if that's the actual one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 We all have never seen an OEM accessory phone before so yes we are highly intrigued. Hell I'm intrigued! I think it would be hilarious to have in my truck. Non functioning of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 well, it IS pretty impressive. that one depends a lot on how much they want. too many junkyards just lump a tired old cluster with the hi-tech new ones in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 I made it to one LQK and the 2nd one locked the door in my face . I was just going in for the phone and possibly the rear view mirror. The half hour left would have been more than enough time to get the two items. I guess I understand. Found an 88 MJ in just horrible shape. Found a relay cover without the hold down clips, but I am sure someone will need it -> Picked that up along with a few other things. Found this thing -> I grabbed it. Looks like it is going to be helpful holding wire looms or hoses. Mounted it in the same location in the Jeep. The hole was already there . A few weeks back my mechanical fan took out my fan shroud because the wimpy clips let the mounting bolt back out -> I found a really stout clip nut (have no idea what they are called) in my MJ/XJ bolt collection. I just need three more of them. Problem was that I had no idea where it came from . I found a 2000 XJ in the yard and it had exactly the same thing on the top radiator support. You can see how much better these will be -> Got those on and then the electric fan & fan shroud bolted down -> I am confident that the will not be backing out.
