Model: Cherokee
Default 1979 Cherokee Tailgate

I just bought a 1979 Cherokee and the back tailgate opens by cranking the window and popping the door. This can pretty much be done with a simple socket wrench. My question is: Is the a lock crank or plug that I can get to prevent someone from getting in?

The FSJs were the first Cherokees before AMC decided to downsize the model to the XJ platform. I have a 76 Chief S and what better place to ask than a Cherokee Forum.

Welcome to the forum. I'd check out BJs Off-road for parts/diagrams and accessories for your FSJ.
