Under hood pix and nice interior mod..
These are some recent progress pix of my 96 Sport 2 door. Not bad for 25K miles.
Infinity Q45 gas lift rods. 86 Dodge 600 louvers.
Dash bezel from a Limited or Country (?). Added this today. It was laying around the jy. Already removed.
A little AMC touch for Cruiser54. That's part of a badge from an early Wrangler.
Back seat is removed. FRP panel on plywood for a nice load floor.
4.5 inch RE lift and double chrome recovery hooks. Only use they ever got was helping someone else.

What did you use to shore up under the plywood when you removed the seat ? I just did the upgrade to ZJ seats, and am thinking about removing my back seat too, thanks.

And I bought a spare seat bottom. So I have one at work and one at home. Can convert to a back seat any time any where. The load floor just slides right out.

Old school. High beams and low beams. This was a Wagoneer XJ feature from 1986-1990. Not common to find these. This is a unique setup since there were no factory two door quad light XJ's. I added this to my 96 just for the looks and practicality of separate adjustment capability between high and low beams. I like to have the high beams aimed a bit higher and wider for the mountain driving I do.

Installing the Wagoneer quad light front is very easy. But you need to get the entire header panel, not just the grill and light bezels. The header panel behind the lights is very different then the normal XJ header panels. And the orange corner marker lights are slightly different and not interchangeable. Be sure to retrieve those from the donor Wagoneer.
It is all attached only by a few nuts on top of the cross brace over the radiator and four behind the light bezels. Also there are three small screws accessible right over the top of the bumper under the grill. I recently sourced an entire spare assembly from a junk yard Wagoneer. It took me less than 10 minutes to remove it completely.
The wire harness will need some modification to adapt to the connector below the intake air box.
It takes H4703 Low beam lights and H4701 High beam lights. Common on 90's GMC and Chevy vans and trucks.
I bought NOS grill from a Collision Parts, and NOS light bezels from Quadratec. That was about a year go. Don't know if they have any left.
Installing the Wagoneer quad light grill was one of the easiest mods on my XJ. Go to Row52.com and search for 1986 to 1990 AMC and Jeep Wagoneer junk yard placements. (some are listed as Jeeps and some as AMC's) You can save the searches and get automatic alerts when these get placed. That is how I found both of mine. But they are very sought after parts, so you need to act fast when they come up. I wasn't half way back to the pay booth when another guy passed me looking for those same parts!
Have fun!

Can I ask what modifications you had to do to the harness? I just picked up a complete wagonner front end with harness still attached and was hoping to put it on this weekend.

Solder and shrink wrap the splices, of course.
