Hi all,
New to the jeep scene, but got a great deal on a 92 Sport 4 door and am just beginning to repair/improve/rig up .
So far I installed a new stereo and sub box, replaced the headliner, (The Mrs was kind enough to replace the missing stock fabric with some black felt we picked up from the fabric store on sale). Of course I then found out that the reason the previous headliner fabric fell was because the previous owner drilled multiple holes in the roof for various purposes, (one to ground each light in the rack overhead, a big one for the wires for the rack, and 12 for the roof rails, all of which had at least a 1 inch spike sticking down), all of which I had to somehow seal up.
I added a wolo animal house horn and mounted switches for the front and rear offroad lights, (pictures to follow).
My next projects are to install a power door lock kit I picked up for about 30 bucks and to do some fairly serious rust repair and then spray can bed line the entire truck. I also plan on installing a 1 1/2-3 inch lift, (I want to run 31's), and replace the stock, (I think original), shocks.

I'm going to go out to the hinder lands of the nation and bring Cherokee's here. That Jeep would bring probably over $2000 here.

Where did you get the power door lock kit?

It was an internet find. I found the same kit listed in several locations. I am installing the door locks tomorrow, so I will let you know how it works out.

Please do, I'd like to order the same kit if it works for you. THANKS

Welcome!

I started on the install of the door locks today, and have the system figured out.
Here's a similar kit to the one I have:
http://www.slickcar.com/details/2272...-lock-kits.asp
The locks work by attaching a motor to the inside of the drivers door, the motor is attached to the lock mechanism by tying together a rod from the kit to the rod that locks the door with a supplied bracket.
Once the drivers door is locked/unlocked, all the other doors follow, (although the kit I bought has no set up for the rear hatch).
The wiring is pretty simple in design, (although trying to get it to fit through the doors is an absolute bear due to the rubber grommets and having to remove the panel inside the door below the dash where the hood release is mounted), and so far the only problem I have is that the kit comes with brackets to attach the motors to the doors, but not screws that will grip into the sheet metal.
The kit also includes a "lock" and "unlock" wire that you can attach to your alarm.
I will post a pic or two once I get the motors mounted and will let you know how it works out.

I got the motors in the doors installed and the system works great. Whatever you do to the drivers door, (lock or unlock), is mirrored on all the other doors, no muss, no fuss, and there are no added switches or visible wires.

Here's a pic of one of the motors in place so you can see what I am talking about:


The black plastic cylinder is the new motor and you can see where the drive rods are tied together with the supplied hardware.

I also made a GREAT find on craigslist to fix my sagging rear suspension. I had initially been looking for a replacement set of factory springs or maybe the S10 or Dakota springs for a bastard pack, but lucked onto these for $130



6 inch lift springs for the rear and the matching coils for the front.

Here's a before picture from the first time I took it off road.
