Looking for a steering wheel and column from a xj 84-94 (I think those years work in an 87?)
Mine is busted from being stolen and the yj column I have is apparently way more work to put in than another xj column....

There are 3 XJ's at the Pick N Pull, two 93's and a 98. Think I might go tomorrow after work.

yeah pick n pull for sure. the column in an xj is actually shared with a lot of chevys's like older s10's an such too.

Ya my boyfriend mentioned that s10s from the same years are generally the same column, but I haven't seen anyone selling any.. so I guess that we are going to try the pick and pull and maybe see what some other junk yards have to offer!

Going to look for some doors too since I need to fix the lock on the drivers side and was wanting to redo the interior (purple and plaid...) it might just be easier to find 2 new doors and call it a day. Almost at the point where I should just buy an entire other xj and take what I need from it.. ha.

Would love a new drivers side seat, since the original was so destroyed and the replacement I got is on the road to slants-ville too (and it is for a 4 door but I have a 2 door.)

and the list goes on...........

hankthetank

well if you see a 2 door, let me know! i wanna try building some half doors. good luck!

nicole17

If I do get new doors you can buy my current ones off me. I am still debating if I should try to find new ones or make due with the ones I already have - either way ill keep my eye out for you!

hankthetank

you've got a 2 door?

nicole17

Yep I have a 2 door - minor rust which I am attempting to repair, and drivers side has a busted lock. Not sure if its more cost effective to replace the lock and get a locksmith to match the other locks or to just get 2 new doors.. (If I can even find any).

Are 2 door xjs hard to find at junkyards?

nicole17

Went to bucks auto parts in Sherwood park - got a steering column and a tire carrier! No 2 doors there and less Cherokees in the lot than what the inventory online said they had.. Any places other than that or the pick n pull anyone can recommend around Edmonton?

hankthetank

i've seen more than a few 2 doors at the pick n pull in the past. one will eventually show up.

nicole17

Think I got everything I need for now.. So now I just need to finish it up and get it on the road!

nicole17

Heads up to anyone interested but there is a pretty decent mj at bucks auto parts in Sherwood Park. Not sure if its newer there or has been for a while but might be of some value to someone who wants parts from one.
No tail gate though, that baby came home with me for a project

hankthetank

good to know thanks!

Im in Edmonton....don't come on this forum too often.

This is my first year of wheeling.....even working on a vehicle is new to me so Im trying to learn as I go. Lots of cool projects on here to attempt on my own XJ.

Gonne do the cowl snorkel upgrade in the next month and headlight upgrade (H4)
