I bought it new from SMS headliners. where are you located? the doors were actually custom made but Ill probably end up selling them cheap/giving them away since Ill be changing the striker plate on my MJ to the XJ striker plate for the 97+ door swap.

I do have a buddy who is a hotshot driver- and I told him if he heads to your region of the states to let me know, THEN maybe we can arrange something 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TieDyeJK8 Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Big changes/upgrades coming to the MJ! Bought a Borla header for the MJ a few weeks ago since ill be getting a full exhaust for it. I also installed a set of Metalcloak dual rated XJ springs and noticed that the drivers side is a good inch taller than the passangers side because the spring isolator was shot. ordered a pair of those along with a rough country long arm kit for the front. I figured that would be a nice upgrade over the factory control arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TieDyeJK8 Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 More photos will be uploaded when I get the long arm kit installed. Also Pulled the trigger on the key Comanche tail light lenses. I have a very nice set of oem lights I plan to use for a Comanche bed trailer but the current lenses on my MJ are pretty rough. The previous owner trimmed the tail light backing so the 97+ xj tail light plugs would fit so instead of ruining the set I bought for a trailer buying these lenses should work out great. $200 is pretty pricy but I'll be the guinea pig for the group.

TieDyeJK8 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 What a difference the new lenses make. Took awhile to get the old lense off without damaging the backing but ones out and the other will come out tomorrow night at work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the uphill mfg bumper and for the price I couldn't beat it. I really wanted a JCR read bumper but they stopped making them so when I was looking for other options this one was the best fit. It's fairly plain, a good price and the guy lives 20 minutes away from me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used my Dremel tool I bought from harbor freight and cut the old lense out. Took awhile to do it but just make sure you get all the red lense out one way or another. Used an adhesive and bonded them together. it's a pretty simple process but does take a bit of time to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
