I need a door for a 96 xj. Drivers front let me know what you have 7028587650

 

Well it is a 231 and the dirt says its OG. So I assume the cluster was swapped or its just a dealer goof. Either way I'm making a custom one.

 

So those are just lights that will come on when any of the following are in use?

 

$380 1991 complete 4x4 XJ: https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/5394392041.html

 

Any interest in this anyone, I wanna go

 

Correct, I have to re install the gauges and jumper the ignition system to test and confirm that hi/low are truly the full/part time lights. If so I will make the new panel. the bottom two on the right were empty so i figured perfect for the lockers. All exterior lights will use illuminated switches.

 

Battery died on my way home from work. Getting a new one and gonna replace the alternator too. So now my question for you guys is this. What's a good alternator for running yellow or red top. And which do you guys prefer or have heard good things about?? Might as well upgrade all this now since I have to.

 

I'm gonna go with a grand Cherokee alternator. Hardly any mods and more amperage. Gotta upgrade cables too

 

Any grand Cherokee? Or a certain year? I just woke up and I'll do my research tonight at work and make sure it can handle big batteries too

EDIT~~After doing some searching around for the last 30-45 mins it seems that this Grand Cherokee Alternator is a good upgrade from stock amp to 136amp and so long as I upgrade my battery cables should handle extra lights, winch and a yellow top Optima battery just fine. Also should fit without any modding.

 

Greetings everyone. I am new to the forums and wanted to say hello.

I moved to Vegas 4 or so years ago and had to leave my XJs back in Florida. I finally got the wife to go on some trails in my other truck and with friends. She loved it, and now I have the OK to get a new to me XJ and build a streetable trail ride.
For now, I am doing research and waiting on tax return and the right XJ to come available. Have to build a bit different for trails than the mud that I am used to building for.

 

Welcome to the group! I assume you will be looking for a newer model XJ??

 

There is a big difference between a yellow top and red...

Google it and decide which is best for your needs.. I have red, blue and yellow depending on the application.

Alternator depends on your needs and budget...

I have a mean green 160 amp in the yj and a cheaper higher than stock amperage one in the xj, but since I'm adding the capability of a winch front and rear to the xj I am reconsidering my power needs.

If your not going with a lot of amp draw from upgrades, just get a red top and a good replacement alternator from any parts store.

Battery cable upgrade a must also get the headlight harness from the guy in the for sale section.

 

I will be looking for a 91-95 XJ Cherokee. 4.0L inline 6, 4x4, automatic, power windows and locks, 4 door, PS, and AC. Going to start with as stock and unmolested version as I can get. This way I don't spend time and money undoing what someone else did that might not fit my plans. They are also cheaper when people don't have tons of money sunk into them.

 

If I can give any input. Forget power locks and Windows. Less wiring to deal with. I actually wish I still had my 93

 

I appreciate the input. I have owned both power and manual windows and lock in a 4 door XJ. I will deal with the minor issues that the power can cause for the daily convenience. I probably run with windows open 80% of the year. Having to go around to each door and roll them up or down every time I enter or leave the vehicle is huge pain. This will be more than just a trail rig. and I am not looking to use it as a crawler. A rig that can handle daily freeway/around town stuff and mild to moderate trails is what I am after. Plus my dogs love to go on rides, and I need the ability to get the windows up quickly is they see something that gets the riled up and excited.
