This year went with regular bulbs plugged into my inverter. Last year I did the LEDs. They were twice the price and not nearly as vivid as these.

I don't have any WJ seats but I imagine the construction across all of the seats is close enough... lots of ideas in there. Going to have to give this a spin on my stock clothies!

I know the 97+ xj's have "hog rings" retaining the seat cover. The WJ seat did, as well. So be sure to have some zipties handy. Remove hog rings with pliers and replace with zipties.

If you get really industrious, there are writeups on seat cover removal and washing. Just don't dry the covers as they will shrink.

Converted my ac pump to on board air. Installed a 2.5 gallon tank where the spare tire used to be. Works awesome. Fills up my 33-12.5 from 15psi to 32psi in about a minute. Also ran a impact gun to remove the lug nuts. Super easy install.

They do have oil in them, they just eventually pump it all out since it doesn't cycle bak with refrigerant. They also will overheat if ran too long, no cold refrigerant coming back. Just gotta remember to add a little oil down the intake every now and then and it's good to go.

Right where it sucks in fresh air, that's how oil normally gets back to it after passing through the refrig system.
