My wife bought me a back seat organizer, so I stitched it onto the seat cover.





I also finished repainting the dash.

Had to get a new battery. Was stalling at idle, was thinking it was the throttle body(never been cleaned) turned out to be the battery. Great news was, it was still under warranty, so free replacement. PTL

I'll have to remember that trick. Can't say frozen doors has ever been much of a problem on my XJ, or any vehicle that had real gutters. Gutterless vehicles on the other hand...

"life hack"?

Lubricating the door seals is part of the maintenance schedule lol

Cool product though!

I give him credit. It's a popular term for things that help out in everyday life, and that's something very few vehicle owners would ever think of.

No, that's cool. Most folks' door seals are more neglected than their transmission fluid. But following the instruction guide is not a "hack" lol

Good point, I learned about conditioning the door gaskets in the owners manual of my 96. Thoroughly reading instructions and owners manuals is underrated. lol

I've always been curious if the shifters are just like the XJ or not. Looks good. Am I correct in assuming your seat braces were good enough to keep?

Nope same **** on the shift cane for that era. Transfer case looks different. Kinda cool to see an NP231 bezel in ZJ stylings.

Digging the leather boot!

The only stock 5 speed ZJ part I don't have is the shift ****, the current one is from Amazon.
The shift lever is shaped different is what I meant.

Yeah ZJs came with 231s but only in first gens, not second gens. Mines custom lol

That's 1993 (beginning production) through 1993.5 (halfway through the first year). They were hardly used at all in ZJs. And the ZJ model was run up through 1998; not 1995.

Furthermore, WJs are awesome since last month when I bought one
