So... Although I don't have the sensors connected... At least I can reassemble the dash.
So Crist,
This Sentry System is missing in my Waggie; was it optional or does this mean it was removed at some point? I had heard it wasn't very reliable from the get go.

Yeah... I too have read about the unreliability of the system. And yes... It was an option.

Thanks for the reply. I am kind of morbidly curious about finding/installing one of these systems one day (when my little bugger stops giving me all kinds of maintenance fits that is...) Is it pretty plug and play or are the sensors that run it not installed if the system itself wasn't a checked option?
Btw, mine is clearly a example of what happens when you let a vehicle sit too long and then start using it again Alternator, water pump, radiator, CCV, and vacuum hoses have all crapped out at basically the same time.
Luckily it's a Jeep and all those parts are about $250 altogether vs probably $750 for a International Scout!

For this stage of the project my goal was to to install the display/control-unit in the dash so I can reassemble the dash. I'm saving the really fun stuff for later! As far a plug/play... I know of someone who is/has retrofitted the same. It's been a year since I chatting with him... At that time he had a few of them connected. Not a surprise that some of the sensors are more complicated.
A good friend who is always on the look-out for me... Found this hard-to-find rear air-deflector (blade). The material is a brushed-aluminum. It is currently at the paint-shop where is will be coated/painted/sanded to a smooth finish to match the OEM paint/finish; Including the mounting-brackets and screw-covers.

Back from the paint-shop and installed... Top. Bottom is what the before looked like.
i've been following this thread for years and was working on my own wagoneer project.. But.. Life has changed and I'm giving up.
I hope I'm not inappropriately posting here, but I have tons of 1990 wagoneer xj parts to disperse to like minded xj fans.
Imagine every possible part you can remove from an xj wagoneer. I disassembled my donor car down to the last bolt. All doors, windows ,hood ,hatch ... You get the picture.

You have a great vehicle to start and hard to find Spider Eyes grill! I have a 91 rare Brairwood and starting restoration, dealing with mechanical issues first! Live on the other side of Delaware River, let me know if I can help! Jeff
