84-86 XJ/MJ oddities to be mindful of.

Those are the ever so rare Marchal DRIVING lights (typically what was run on the factory rollbar).

Hey very sharp of you! These are indeed ones that came off a sport bar! I even have the switch plate for them too!

But I just used it as an example.

Wanted to add that the Driver's Side Engine Frame Bracket is unique to 84-86. (It appears the passenger side is the same? Although I'll be able to confirm shortly lol). The 87+ frame bracket moved forward a few inches on the unibody to make room for the 4.0l. Here's a photo showing the difference - you can see that the 4.0l block doesn't line up with the 86 frame bracket. 

Follow up showing the two mounts side by side.
