Team Cherokee used to have those bits

Technically no. I would recommend you rent a ball joint press from autozone or advanced auto. Will make life much easier.

You'll need a balljoint press, you'll want the Dodge 4WD adapter set, you can rent both from Advance at the same time

For the TREs, you might need a puller or picklefork

WJJeeps.com is a great resource for LOADS of info on the WJ as well. You'd be doing yourself a great disservice by not checking it out. Seriously.

What is this fabled weatherstripping of which ye speak?

They are purely for looks and take away from the already terrible light output of xj headlights.

Yup... if you want functional headlight lense modifications, go with stone guards:

I've been all over the 'net looking for door hinge pins & bushings for my '94. I did come up with Dorman part numbers once, but nobody had any. Some Mopar dealers on line didn't have any either.

Anyone have a source ??

If none are available, I'll just have to make some on the lathe I suppose....

By the way...J C Whitney has Jeep weatherstrip. Look on their site....

Well.... I checked Mopar Parts overstock, but they don't have them either...

http://www.moparpartsoverstock.com/s...driveLine=9359

Summit has some for a GRAND Cherokee, but I'm not sure they're gonna work...
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rn...grand-cherokee

Found some pins on Factorymopar.com but they say they're for a 2door... don't know why they'd be any different though.

I'll be honest with you though, I've never heard of the older style XJ hinges using bushings. It's just a pin that goes through the hinge - and a very small one at that. Not much room for a bushing in there. I don't know about the newer style hinges though.

(Im assuming TL is for Truck Lites)
Also since only the top half of the truck-L lights up on low beams, angry eyes would just make them almost useless.

Agreed.... funny part though is that it actually makes it look cooler than the angry eyes on the regular lights.
