The higher end models came with a little wood grain trim.
Yeah I've seen a few with the wood trim just not the two tone. It looks like you have got most of the pieces.

I'm not sure how the inset comes off but it shouldn't be to difficult. I'm planning on wrapping mine in leather to match my new seats. To much Agate lol.
Kicked up some dirt with both back tires now that it's back together. Honestly, I didn't put the trac lok try the wringer, but it locked down tight in corners and pushed the *** end around a bit. Brakes are taking getting used to. It's just different. I am still on the XJ proportion valve.
I guess most folks that hate the Trac Lok have been using worn units?
Ran into parking cable issues. Apparently the vendor i placed my G2 cables from were l yuh ing when they showed stock. Said no ETA at the moment. WTF.

Actually it is a little messed up when it comes to the inset.
They just don't bolt/screw in. I don't have any pictures.
The inset has these plastic tubes on them that fit in holes in the door panel.
Then the tubes are melted down to secure it to the door panel.
So you have to grind off the melted part. Tough to do it clean to maintain position.
If I had a picture or you saw this it would make much more sense. LOL.
And cause the handle and door lock are in the inset I figure position when you put it back on kinda matters.
Not super critical but you want to be close so the lock and door handle rods don't bind.
This one guy here did take his off to recover and seemed to glue them back on easy peasy though.

My 2001 sport has two tone black & tan with woodgrain around the radio/etc. Seats are kinda herringbone I think? But they have matching 2tone covers, including the rear bench.
Only picture I could find on my phone was from when I was on my side in a ditch, hah
I stripped all the parts off of it, and I sold my MJ. I didn't have time to work on it anymore. My 96 2-door will not be being wheeled either. Sadly there is nowhere left to go down here anymore.
What did you use for wires?
I purchased some 8 mm ones for a 4.0 cause I felt that having 90 degree boots at the coil end would be better.
Somebody on another forum did this also and said it worked out pretty good.
I used the wires that KSuspension used. Bought the bracket from them and the coil and wires from Rock Auto.

Don't have any shots of my wood grain door panels. These are shots I grabbed off the internet.

I also have the wood grain bezel in mine you see in the shot above.
On Ebay I found a couple wood grain trim pieces. They most likely were part of an bigger aftermarket kit.
Cruise Control and Tranny bezel.
All part of my Limited with the fake wood trim, but not the pieces for the shift bezel or steering wheel.

All part of my "clone" build.
I have a 01 limited, with the fake wood panels on the doors and radio cluster. Haven't seen those pieces you found for shift bezel and steering wheel. Guess I'll start looking now.

The shift bezel and cruise control switch ones are not factory.
Like I said I believe them to be part of aftermarket wood grain kits you can buy.
They match the factory wood grain good enough for me. LOL.
Some of those aftermarket wood grain kits are over the top IMO.
Just to much.
So I washed the Jeep. Compounded the Jeep. Hit all the trim with the Armor All stuff. RainX'ed the front, back, and both front door windows.
I will have to wax it another day. I'm beat.
Also out with the old and in with the new.
Year: 1998 Classic (I'll get it running soon....) and 02 Grand
Model: Cherokee (XJ)
Engine: 4.0

That's looking mighty good, Ralph!
Y'know, the biggest problem I have with RainX is that it makes me impatient with other drivers. I find myself irritated at how slow they are driving, and then I remember... "Oh, right. They can't see."
well, I brought it home. Wife loves it. You can see the ground thru the floor pan. I think it looks like it's been dropped from a helicopter, but I'll get it cleaned up for her, and unrig the bull**** and see what we are working with

Thank you but someday I am going to post close up shots of all the things wrong with my XJ.
Now I am noticing that the paint on my driver's side rocker is starting to bubble. Last year noticed a small section in the roof bubbling.
Something tells me that I see a bed lining of the Jeep in my future.
RainX today is nothing compared with the formula that they had way back when.
Had to be the early 80's. Had this junk 4 door Chevy Malibu. Wiper motor started acting funny. Work. Not work. Etc.
I used the RainX to get by till I had a chance to fix it. The stuff worked so well I never did. LOL.
