I went to our local auto parts store yesterday to get these orings, they gave me a kit which listed Cherokee 87-97. Only one o ring out of the kit fit, the big one that goes against the block, so I took it back and their book only listed the big one as being available. They grabbed their oring kit and we tried to match them but that didn't work as I couldn't get the bolt to seat (oring was too big, next size was too small). I went to rock auto and they only list the big oring for my '90, but it lists 3 for my '91. I had read on here somewhere that they were different sizes between the two. I also found on here the Jeep numbers for the orings and called my local dealer (45 minutes away), they don't stock them, 1 will take about a week and the other could be months (according to the parts guy). I went online and tried to find them but I'm having problems paying $10 shipping for two orings (yes I'm cheap). So does anyone have access to these? I am willing to pay for them, maybe someone could pick them up for me and put them in an envelope? Any suggestions? Thanks.

I think one of those orings is the same between years but the other two are different. Thanks Cruiser, I had those numbers but my dealer is saying weeks out and an online dealer want's $10 for shipping plus the cost of the rings. I'm trying to avoid paying the $10, seems ridiculously high for a couple of orings but if I can't get them anywhere else, then that's what I'll do. I'm hoping someone would be willing to pick them up for me and put them in an envelope, I'll paypal them. I live in the middle of nowhere so my options are slim. Thanks.

Maybe a "side story". My nearest Jeep dealer is in Brookings OR. BUT, they are affiliated with a dealer here in my town in CA, that is not Jeep. I was able to order and buy (a T-Stat) Mopar, from the dealer, and pick it up here.
You might ask the dealer if they can get it closer. I might check Napa as well.
Oh, Wopps! Just got it your dealer needs time. I'd still check with Napa.

I just checked Napa online, they only list the big oring, I have that one, it's the smaller ones I need. I guess I'll call the dealer back and see what he can do. It's a 45 min. drive to the dealer, there is a Ford and Chevy dealer in my town but I doubt they will be much help.

Ok found a dealer in N.C. that will ship all 3 orings for $2.49 (plus the orings). So I ordered them, won't be here till next week but at least they are coming. And yes I know I'm cheap! If you have a Dodge he gave me a good deal on some mudflaps $55 retail, $34 to me. Steve White Motors. Thanks for the replies!!
