Actually they live under the rear seat. Fold it forward and there's a storage compartment with a little bracket for securing them.

Thank you!

Until you quoted me I didn't realize I used "actually" that much. I must find another word to use...

You could use "well". I'd use it, but, thats a pretty deep subject for my shallow mind.

Never looked at a jeep one. But most you can get to by removing the glovebox.

I'm getting ready to swap a dana 30 into my 2wd mj. I want to replace the axle side upper control arm bushings when I do so. Is this the correct WJ bushing? http://m.autozone.com/autozone-mobil.../N-je9nlZ8oy1l

I didnt see it as an option. It's weird they only have it listed for 86 an older. I didn't even see it until googling the number. Thanks. The wj bushing is supposedly a direct fit upgrade over stock
