eaglescout526 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Posted November 26, 2020 Just now, Chad R said: It would be interesting to hold up the firethorn painted door panel to that one Every garnet part I have acquired have been darker in color than the firethorn. My only theory why that may be is age of the part, the colors and material slowly degrading and such but have not been able to really figure that out. I had some web guides that were darker than the firethorn, I have two garnet rear XJ belts that are the same dark color but those would be dark anyways. So I am not sure but I can say the panel will be darker.
eaglescout526 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Posted November 26, 2020 Anyone know which T-case this is?
eaglescout526 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Posted November 26, 2020 Yeah I am not sure. The catalog says it’s just a t-case shift bezel. I might have to break out the ole paper catalogs.
eaglescout526 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) I think I’m looking at the older 242 shift bezel plates. They have the same shift pattern as the newer style and this style pictured above comes in AMC packaging so I think they just might be the older style. Actually I did some research and they are for the 228 which the 242 replaced in 87. The 228 has hi lock and lo lock along with 4wd meaning it was very close to the 242 in operation.

88mjsally Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Some of my finds from this past week include an front bra for an xj/mj, passengers tow mirror, mopar front tow hook bracket set and some emblems. I’ll get pics of the emblems and tow hook brackets when they come in tomorrow
Pete M Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 score!! I had one of those bras on my truck back in the 90s the hood part is still visible in some of my old photos.
gogmorgo Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Interesting that it looks more like a ZJ than an XJ in the photo. The resolution is too low to make out the text that goes with it, at least on my phone.
88mjsally Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 It does look like a zj in the picture but it’s a part number for an xj and someone wrote in xj on the manual
eaglescout526 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Posted January 26, 2021 Little thread hack here but just wanted to post this find Cherokee nameplate with pins. I think it’s for the FSJ and possibly very early 84 XJ.
88mjsally Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Now I’m finished for a while (At least until I find something else cool)

sammisox Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Got some cool stuff there. If you’re ever lookin to sell the OKC one I’d love to have it down here in OK
88mjsally Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Figured I’d post a few more of the things I found. Most with the help of eaglescout. I have more that I don’t have pictures of
Pete M Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 since we're opening up this thread to all of our NOS scores, I feel compelled to share the wall o' NOS was able to find a nos tail, bumper end, flare, gas tank door, gas cap, and mudflap for the bedside. also a nos handle for the nos gate. the rim is an unused spare. the wheel caps are just nice ones, not nos. not shown is my nos chrome grill on the adjoining wall.
eaglescout526 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Posted January 27, 2021 I do love that wall. I’ll have to do one one day.

Pete M Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 yes, it's rightside-up. I even spaced out the lower edge so that it's at the proper angle or presentation rather than flush with the wall and weird looking. I'm actually a little surprised at how little of "the art that is our trucks" is on people's walls. A team of Jeep artists drew up the concepts, then a team of Jeep engineers made it 3d, and then a team of Jeep line workers brought it to life. I mean, there's real history and a story there. but people will hang a cheap print they found at hobby lobby because it goes well with the wall color.
eaglescout526 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Posted January 27, 2021 I have a few parts displayed in my room like a speedometer, nameplates, couple parts boxes and a tach.
Ωhm Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 If you have room, and want to, hang this on your wall. Its just a piece of paper in my pile of life. LSR_2_1.pdf
88mjsally Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 None of these are nos but I have one of each color (except nutmeg) hanging on my bedroom wall. I have a few Jeep grills and a mj tailgate in my kitchen. I eventually plan to decorate my shop with grills/ header panels and the rest of my collection
