silvertwinkiehobo Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I know this is a simplistic question, but has anyone ever googled "obsolete AMC Jeep parts?"

JustEmptyEveryPocket Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 41 minutes ago, Pete M said: sure how to attach it You almost HAVE to find a NOS unit bearing and some NOS lugnuts to mount it with. Bolt the unit bearing to a board, screw the board to some studs in the wall. Mount the wheel to the bearing. Then it can spin free forever!

You must mount it in the wheel well of the nos bed side. I've got a orginial spare from my truck to match it perfectly

I've got a original spare from my truck to match it perfectly I absolutely would if I didn't have the turbine there that I got from Jim Oshel before he passed. It's not nos, but an unused spare from one of his old XJs.
watchamakalit Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 You need more wall space. The only logical solution is to add on to the house.
Pete M Posted August 2, 2021 Author Posted August 2, 2021 I slapped my new stuff on the 3rd wall with the rear window. It's... a work in progress...
87MJTIM Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 Looking at the pictures of your wall, I am reminded of an early M*A*S*H episode were Radar was mail home a Jeep. Just a few more pieces and you can reassemble an MJ.

Just a few more pieces and you can reassemble an MJ. about 20 years too late to do that. heck, even 5ish years ago I didn't think it all that crazy when I bought my NOS flare and bumper cap. now all that stuff has about dried up. (side note, the steering wheel isn't NOS, it's just very nice)
87 MJ Chief Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 I went and looked at some MJ parts at a guy's house. Not only was it on the walls, but he had some of it hanging from screw-in j hooks in the ceiling.

Pete M Posted June 3, 2022 Author Posted June 3, 2022 but then I'll have nothing left to look at. besides, those 2 particular things are going on my truck/trailer eventually.
Pete M Posted August 14, 2022 Author Posted August 14, 2022 this gap always bothered me, but rather than do all the work to move the gate up, I dug through my emblems and stuck some on.

Pete M Posted April 1, 2023 Author Posted April 1, 2023 finally got some on the north wall. and yes, one of those is NOS. still need a metric ton and a select trac. the cherokee emblem is a filler until I get those. huge thanks to the guys that sent me the missing items.

Damn that 'X' is looking nice and shiny on that wall You're welcome pete!
eaglescout526 Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 I mean I can contribute some nameplates to the wall
Pete M Posted April 2, 2023 Author Posted April 2, 2023 I'll happily take any MJ emblem that's missing. I do have the individual J e e P header letters but haven't figured out how to mount them without popping off the studs.
