Upgrades for my 89 XJ
So I didn't do all these mods today. Been working on this on and off since this summer. I bought this 89 XJ in 1991. Put 180,000 miles on it including adventures on forest access roads in BC several summers. It was looking a little tired. So I added 1 ½ inch tapered shims on the rear axles to get the back end back up in the air. Installed new neoprene bump stops since the old rubber jobs were falling apart.
Repainted the silver trim using Automotive Touch Up. 1990 color.
Reglued the head liner.
Added a ceiling console I got at the junk yard. Installed my dome light where the remote door lock bulb was. This thing did not come with a dome light.
Installed Grand Cherokee visors. They have those cool pull outs when you don't want the sun blinding you from the side window.
Installed a Garmin GPS on the face plate below the clock. Tight fit on the inside because of clock circuit board.
Installed the H-4 LED head light package including new wiring pulling power off the battery and relays and fuses.
Installed new terminal style cables to the battery plus the fire wall ground and added a fender well ground.
Added a Morroso radiator cap and a recovery tank out of a Dodge 50 pickup and installed a heater valve and hoses from a 92 XJ. Got rid of that pressurized bottle.
Installed two relays in the kick panel in the door lock circuit so now the electric door locks work.
Installed a plug type connection on the windshield wash bottle.
