motownXJdad Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 got lucky and found a pretty nice set of XJ limited leather seats that match my interior. hard color to find in good condition. the driver seat bottom has a tear, but i found a good used seat bottom on Ebay 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motownXJdad Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 i got some new fancy headlights off Amazon, i used a 10$ gift card and got them for 89.00-10.00=79.00$. sold the old LEDs for 25$ so total cost was 54$ for the pair. i like them alot, i think they especially good on the pre 97 style XJ\MJ front end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motownXJdad Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 well ive been busy doing my least favorite work. all kinds of wiring. ive installed a 6 gang switch panel for accessory lighting etc. ive been slowly removing interior stuff to swap to the leather seat set and install my car audio stuff. The interior is going to be cleaned, restored, re-dyed, etc. so far i have the switch panel, head unit, and my guage rings installed. I'm also painting the guage needles and installing new Azzy's guage faces. progress is picking up with the warmer temps, i also have 33-12.5-15s for it too just havent had a need to get them swapped just yet. here's some progress pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motownXJdad Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 well the XJ has been on the back burner since i got the camper in April. i worked on the dash last night. I disassembled most of it again and was able to replace the lower dash section, and the part around the cubby hole below the glove box both peices had many broken mounting tabs and rattled alot. ive thought about wrapping the peice around the cubby hole with woodgrain to match the woodgrain cluster. my dash is super solud now, glad i went back and re-did it all. i also finished all the under hood wiring for now, i still need to do the big7. i replaced the janky battery terminals with military style terminals. came out great. i have new ditch lights I'm installing too which require 4 conductor leads due to thier multi functions. ill do another post and possibly a video on those when they are all soldered up and working. happy Jeeping 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 That interior is mint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvagedcircuit Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 That dash I have to take my tan lower dash out and plastic weld it before it snaps in half. Previous owner mounted a CB radio to it and left 4 holes and a crack. Sadness. I think I'm going to grab some tan colored ABS from microcenter and see if I can match it and just plastic weld it through the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motownXJdad Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 got the new ditch lights installed and wired in. they are 3 function, amper fog, amber parking lamps and amber strobes. they require a 4 conductor wire for installation. i think theyre pretty cool and at under 50$, affordable too. found them on Amazon. install was easy due to the MICtunng switch panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motownXJdad Posted September 23 Author Share Posted September 23 well, i got super lucky today and stumbled across a Dana44 rear for an MJ for sale for $250 on marketplace locally. so i naturally snatched it quickly. i alread have a set of spring perches for it so all ill need to put it in is shock mounts. on a cool side note, the guy i bought it from lived in an old farmhouse thats been in the family for generations, he had the diff stored in a potato crib built into the side of a large hill, it was built in 1910. it was super cool. happy Jeeping everone👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 nope, got discouraged with what was available and how much they cost (shipping suuuuuucks) so I've decided that the originals are good enough for my all-original truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
