Next upgrade, power accessories: power side mirrors, windows and door locks. I grabbed the wiring and
switch bezels from a 2-door XJ; didn't need the extra switches and wiring for the back doors. The window regulators and door locks came from a 96XJ. Besides hopefully having the least amount of wear on any junkyard part, jeep decided somewhere around 93/94 to use bolts instead of rivets to attach the door guts. The mirrors came off an early 90's XJ, they were already painted so i figure repainting them down the line would look better than newer, mostly plastic side mirrors.
The hardest part is drilling out the existing rivets, the wiring is all plug and play. I reused the bolts from the 96XJ (they fit perfectly) for the regulators and door locks. While i had the door apart, i replaced the movable vent windows with stationary windows from that same 96XJ. The movable vent windows were letting in a lot of road noise and probably some of the water getting into the cab.
I pulled a black center console and door panels from an '88 XJ limited. At this point i realized i made my first big mistake (on this truck)...i should have changed the parking brake from the pedal and handle underneath the driver's side dash to under the center console like the XJ. It can still be done, all the sound deadening needs to be pulled up and then replaced after the swap.
That '88 XJ also had something i'd never seen in before or since, so even tho they are in pretty rough shape i grabbed them anyway.
Its tough to see in the picture, but the color of the top part is agate and the vinyl is perforated. If i don't come across another set, i'll probably get these recovered; its basically the color scheme i'm going with for the interior.
