86 XJ Project

I think that is a high Kwalitee Amazon special

I feel like I’m in the space shuttle with all these electonicals.  The camera fits snug between the license plate and the tag light.

Working on my wire tuck, it was looking like rainbow spaghetti with all of my added wires running everywhere…. Maybe I’ll get the A/C condenser and lines back on it before next summer 🤷🏼

I have never seen an 84-86 in a junkyard but this just showed up.  It looks pretty rough in the pictures.  But they have a 99, an 01 and this 90 so tomorrow is junkyard day.  I don’t know that I really need anything but I love a junkyard run…

Might as well grab the header if it’s still there. I have my doubts given it has the marker lights. But those alone fetch a pretty penny.

I need that header! Or at the very least grill and side markers!

The grill looks to be damaged.  I’m debating taking all of it, I doubt anyone here has found it.  But I have a few other things that may eat up my time.

I just watched Rudy’s latest video last night and I remembered that I had noticed he has no marker lights 😁. I didnt even know they were different from a standard front end.

Yeahhhh those marker lights are taller and skinnier than the regular common marker lights.

I went to a “Jeep Fest” (show) today about an hour away in Lavonia GA and I got my first duck.  It’s a hippo! So I guess I’m keeping it.  Not going on the dash though! 😁. I didn’t even look at the voting sheet and didn’t know there was an “XJ” category.  I didn’t win but I enjoyed talking to other Jeep people.  There was only three XJ’s, it was a small show with only about 65 total jeeps.  However there was one MJ and he won one of the overall categories!

Did you get a photo of the other xj?

This was the winner of the best XJ award.  And the third one I didn’t.  I also forgot to take a picture of the MJ.  It was a street type rig and it was very nice 👍.  I did talk to the owner for a good while.
