Classy Comanche Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hey guys so I decided to pull the lever on my seat so the backrest flips forward so I could deep clean it. Well to my suprise I found some things I didn't think I'd find. I need help identifying the silver part. I didn't even know I had the OEM jackstand for this let alone the instructions on the wall and still bonded with a strap. Any help will be much much appreciated. I have no idea what these silver parts are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Those silver parts are tailgate straps/patches I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classy Comanche Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 Oh wow really? I dis some searches and couldn't find anything as to what it so I asked here. They were laying behind my seat in front of my jackstand. Had this truck for almost 3 years and never even attempted to pull the seat back until I discovered the small tiny black lever right at the driver's side and passenger side door right in between the seat cushion and backrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The86manche Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Yup tailgate straps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 It shows on the decal how the jack handle is intended to be stored. You have the clip, it just needs to be placed on the bracket. That clip is often missing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 @schardeinyou might know - I see clips inside the doors of ~1994-1996 XJs that look tantalizingly close to the jack handle clip for our trucks. Any idea if they're the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classy Comanche Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 Yeah I saw the clip on the wall but didn't really pay to much attention to it as I was cleaning and scratching my head on what those tailgate straps were. I wonder why that little clip is missing on other trucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why that little clip is missing on other trucks? It's not retained by anything and is super easy to knock off by accident without ever knowing you did it.

Classy Comanche Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 That definitely makes sense. From what I can tell that Jack has never been used. It didn't have scratches or dents on it. So that is definitely nice to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if they're the same? I guess I haven't seen those clips. Where are they inside the door? That would be a cool find. I did look at the parts manual, the only match is they are apparently used on the wiring harness of some full size Jeep Grand Wagoneers. # 34202362.
