JMO413 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I keep some packaging also. I also like to keep the shipping label. This is the label for the shift knob I bought. Same dealer had it in the shelf since 2/12/99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Ive got a collection of the old 80's shipping labels from both Chrysler and AMC. Really neat and we can thank AMC for giving us the parts distribution system Chrysler has now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took us hours even with overhead winch to unload the bench. Bet it weighs 800 pounds ! Do you Still have pics of it assembled? And the pic of it strapped & bolted to Liberty is a classic “where there’s a will there’s a way” post up picture when U get tailgate hung :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 might take me a bit of time to mount it. turns out a straight-up 2x4 isn't going to work as well as I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Mistress Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Found 2 NOS tow hook kit’s 🤟 .... but tow hooks sold separately. one for MJ and one for XJ Chief chief needed as required for hidden winch kit. I’m thinking of Chrome hooks for Chief & black for MJ Eliminator. Do the common Warn store bought hooks have same bolt pattern to fit the mounts?

eaglescout526 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Yeah they look exactly the same. They actually look more like the WJ era hooks than the MJ/XJ ones but thats ok, no one will know. Except me. I think the XJ/MJ ones are a bit taller at the mounting point but that's all I see different. Also tow hooks only came in "bright" from what I have seen for our era trucks.

Red Mistress Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Anyone ever seen a Comanche nameplate that wasn’t chrome? this silver nameplate in middle of picture is NOS original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Something tells me that late in the MJ part support, Chrysler had the Comanche nameplate look like the 94-96 Cherokee nameplates. Really odd though. Did the nameplate have any original packaging? If so there should be a date code on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only know of two part numbers, the 55014472 and the earlier 86-87 emblem . I know some guys were remaking emblems, and that may be a nice example of it.I know some guys were remaking emblems, and that may be a nice example of one.

Red Mistress Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Got these nameplates from grandson of deceased Jeep employee. The silver one is metal, so not a printed reproduction. i have seen other Jeep parts changed in appearance but continue the same part #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 found a home for it. (I'd been saving that spot for an eventual tailgate, though I'd never thought it'd be NOS.) I found a kinda-shiny handle and cap for it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the MJ was planned for 93 and there was a factory photo shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Mistress Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Been plugging away on F350, LJ and daughters 01 XJ Daughters 01 XJ with 3.5” lift, the front sits nose down, so instead of pucks, got 4.5” Metalcloak coils. Pet peeve of mine that a 4x4 should have level stance. Anyway, Metalcloak had sale & free shipping... so got MJ trackbar & control arms. Hoping the 3.5” coils will be level with 3” Alcan rear springs with winch. Looking for nice HP30 non-disco 3:55’s springs I got from member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torq_Shep Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I lost the photo on my phone in front of Red's Comanche but y'all, these pictures do not do that XJ justice... That thing is damn near spotless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
