I'm trying to find a pick n pull to get a new steering column and seat brackets for the 89 xj but not completely sure on what years correlate to mine. According to my Chilton, it is 84-98. Sound about right?

 

nope... as far as i know you can get it out from years 87-90 for a direct bolt on... in 1991 one they changed the key...

 

They changed to the new style key, but the column is otherwise the same. No airbag, bolts right up exactly the same. I put a 92 column in an 89 and it was fine. I also grabbed the locks out of the doors and switched the whole thing over to the single, double sided key

 

learned something new everyday...

 

That sounds like something I'd want to do - having one key. So, I can go as late as a 92, but I'd have to change the keys? Or were the keys a different project?
