This is by far really really cool. I was able to tuck the module away behind the lower dash panel. No issues at all. The only one that I’m gonna have an issue with is the fact that the lights stay on for about 40 seconds with the lock button pressed and about 2 when unlock is pushed. I’m not sure how to go about correcting that other than unplugging the wire from the harness and leaving it alone. 
But the lights to turn off when the ignition is turned on. So I’ll just push the lock button when I feel I need to and use the lock switch inside. 
 

But I’m happy with how this turned out, will be a lot more convenient for us.

That's really cool! How compatible is this with other years? Is this the infrared system like what came from the factory on my 95 XJ or something different?

It’s a GM RF module actually. I did a Google search and found this link. I studied this link and the embedded camero forum link in his post that has the schematics for the harness for about a good week. It’s compatible with the later Chrysler era fobs. 
 

I made a whole note pad on it in my phone and studied that too to make sure I get this right. 
 

Ideally you want the module from a yard with the connectors. If not they’re simple female end metri pack 150 and 280 connectors. 
 

As far as years, it’s very compatible with all of them. You really just need to know where your unlock and lock colors and you need the keyless harness from an XJ. You could free hand it but that would be a royal pain and take too much time. I simply used the keyless set up I already had and just connected into that harness. 
 

If needed I could always do a write up of my experience

I think you definitely need to convert that note pad to a write up!

Time to start the front suspension rebuild…yay. LCA bushings have been done. Track bar, done. Gonna do the UCA bushings on the axle next and inspect the ball joints.

Decided to change up the front end just a little. 
 

 

NOS Euro turn signal lenses.

Thank ya. I am not sure what it is but the euro turn signals seem to make the front end modern while still being classic with the 21 slot.

[JolietJEEP'84]

I did the same on my MJ....

[eaglescout526]

If only I had all chrome front end it would be the exact same.

Guys!!! I have excellent news!! I have finally found where the brake pad wear sensors go and that there’s new ones available.

how is it even possible that they still exist?
