Hi,

thank you. Those handles are well made. If you set the cable right they are easy to get the locker in/out. The feeling to use this is soooo cool - no comparison to an E-Locker or Air-Locker switch.

One thing is not so good. The diesel axle have 4,56 and this is a little to short for my 245/75 R16 tires. 4,10 is better I think, but hey, it was cheap.

Like what I see. I would like to see some more shots of the interior. I am turning my '00 Sport into a Limited/Country/Classic/Up Country/European Orvis Clone of sorts. I want to put headrests in my back seat. Also been able to scoff some fake would trim. Would like to get the one you have around the ashtray/switch panel. I have the radio bezel one, little stuff around the cruise control switches, and one over the shifter. Wondering what other ones there might be.

Hi,

thank you. Your interior looks very simular to mine. If it helps, I can take a few more shots from the inside for you.

You mean the switch on the shifter cover? Thats for tunring on the LPG.

That would be great on the interior shots. This way I can see what else they might have come with and keep an eye out for it. I am always cruising the European Ebay listings. I am talking about the small piece around the switch that says cooling fans.

Ah sorry. My english isn't so good. You mean the "wood" sticker?

If you need some detailed photos, let me know. Sorry for the quality - its to dark inside my garage. And my steering wheel need to rebuild.

Ralph77

Thank you. Yes I guess we are talking about the wood stickers. I see ones on the door handles, the controls on both front doors, the glove box, etc. Would love to find some or all of that. More stuff to keep an eye out for.

Well, I have some conection to a Jeep Dealer who do only CJ, YJ, XJ, ZJ, TJ, MJ. Mybee I finde something, but beige XJ are rare in Germany.

Fun Fact: I found the bill from the Pre-Owner who bought 1997 this XJ. The Price was 64.000 Deutsche Mark. Thats 40.000 USD.

The beige does not matter. At least I am pretty sure. See the pieces I circled. The wood grain part is just double sided taped there. If you peel it off you would most likely see this.

Foley

Yep - All Wood is just a sticker. Except the middle console.

That and the strip on the door panel below the door handle. That is why I am hoping to find just the stick on pieces for all the other fake wood grain trim you have in your Jeep. Figure the only way I will find it is to keep cruising the European Ebay listings.

Foley

Does the US XJ didn't come with that "wood"?

https://www.renegade-station.de/ -> I think to mail them is the best way to get European jeep parts.

The only ones I have seen are the bezel where the radio is and the strip I mentioned on the door panel. The weird thing is that the fake wood grain trim that I have added around the tranny shifter and the cruise control buttons were ones that I found on Ebay here in the States. The guy stated in the posting that they were off a '01. Never have seen that anywhere before so I scoffed them up quick. I always figured that all the extra wood grain trim was a European XJ thing.

Ozark Mountain Ranger

Autozone sells it as a vinyl wrap you can diy

Have to check into that. Pretty sure these are not that. It has a kinda rubber backing. Also I believe what I have to match the bezel around the radio.

Hi,

a little update. Yesterday I finished the Diesel XJ who had spend his axles for my 4.0 XJ. My Misses told me today that she will keep the Diesel XJ - So I'm very happ



So, some Things are to do on the diesel. The rear-shock upper mount is broken, the Rubicon Express upper and lower controlarm bushings are broken, the engine and axle oil have to change. The diesel is in a way better condition from rust than my 4.0. So I will do some Fluid or Mike Sander Jobs to keep it in this stadium. Sadly, in Germany the government use tones of salt in winter. The most XJ in Germany are in a bad, bad way.

On my 4.0 I put in some new brake lines. The was a way to short for the long travel shocks.



I also finished my Herculiner-Job on the driver site. Next is the passenger.



And I need help from your guys. I changend my JKS track bar to a RE because the axle housing bent the JKS jonny joint. But now the gab between the diffcover and the RE trackbar looks very smal. I think it will bent the new track bar again. So, have you an Idee what to do?



At least, I put the swampers in 33x10.5 15 on it to get an idea how it will fitt.
