Jhc7399 is who I got mine from, they looked brand new and have performed flawlessly. Fast shipping and good packaging. I got the 784's for my jeep which is a 00 there are a ton of threads on here about it, just Google injector swap for Cherokee and a bunch will pop up. Didn't notice any Mpg gain but throttle response improved and also helped smoothed the running of the motor and and little rpm drop while cruising highway

Dumb question: do the seats in a 91 XJ recline? Mine never have... have what seems to be the lever to recline, but damn if that thing will move more than a quarter inch.

Just gummed up or something else? Looking to make the stock seats good and somewhat comfy to retain and swap into the back.

The seats in my '91 Limited do. There seems to be a lot of tension on the levers though. If you can't get yours to move at all you could always take off the seat skins and lube up the innards, I'll probably do that sometime soon too.

782s do not fit the 4.0L. They are too short.

You need 784s.

Any chance of a 97+ ebrake handle mechanism working in an earlier XJ? I know the base would need an adapter of sorts. Looking to potentially build a custom center console.

Technically, people swap that part when they do the center console swap. I am unsure of the details and if any sheet metal work is required.

Default Door Hinges

Whats up everybody! So I screwed up this past summer, me and the wife took the xj out, doorless, and long story short tried to make a new trail and ended up making it....but also during that a tree caught my pass side rear door hinges and knocked them in and back about 1/4in maybe? The door still shuts but is a friggin bear to open. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or anything. I would just leave it alone but we have kiddos n its a lot nicer having all the doors opening easy. I can post some pics if need be. Thanks!

Is the sheet metal underneath tweaked? Or the hinge?
