The sensor you need for your part time light is ECH FW26. There is a write up somewhere on here for it. I did my 88 when I cad deleted it was pretty straight forward.
A friend sent me his somewhat used Bilsteins since he recently lifted his XJ today and I swapped them into this one. Only broke an upper bolt on both rears. Probably flag nut it down the line but They're held in with one bolt each right now. Took a look at the old shocks and they are definitely original to the car. Only one had *some* kind of pressure left but the rest were pretty much collapsed. Ride was very floaty before so I'm eager to see how it rides tomorrow.
Got around to buying 4x4 linkage for this Jeep since the original was torn apart. Took a minute to figure out how to bolt together but eventually got it tuned and the shifter feels really good.
These cables were not doing anything. Totally siezed up so I swapped the ones in from you guessed it, the green one. It's nice having a parts Jeep you can pull anything from. "New" cable on the left with the old one on the right. Driver side. Old cable on the left with "New" cable on right. Passenger side. Tensioner with "New" cables installed.
I've planned on deleting this since I got the XJ. and since I put the transfercase from my 93 XJ into this one, the vacuum line block has just been hanging around. Couple friends and I got around to yanking out the entire vacuum harness and bypassing the CAD axle by locking the collar in place permanently and extending the part time light switch harness to the transfer case so it comes on when I pull the lever like normal.
Wanted to get cruise working and it turns out the module in this one was bad. Swapped one in from a friend that I was gonna put in the green XJ and it works! The control switch is a bit finnicky but slowly getting better with each use. Also swapped the front brake pads. Took the XJ on its longest trek today and it did perfectly fine.
I wasn't too sure on the age of the wheel cylinders in this Cherokee so I swapped over the 2 year old ones from my green one. Naturally both lines decided they didn't want to play ball so I sourced the driver side one from the green XJ and ended up buying and bending a new line for the passenger side. The line in the picture was bent to clear everything after the photo is taken so that is not final. Wiped out the reservoir as well since it had some gunk in it. Thing needed a flush anyway.
I hope to see this thing out in the field chasing next year. I just suggest that you try to keep the suspension stock, I'd hate to see this thing get blown onto it's side by a strong inflow jet (That's why I think I'm going to put a roll bar in my '92).

It's definitely gonna get some time in. I might be moving to Eastern colorado within the next 6 months so it'll see a lot of action out there
