I did call around for the door panel. Unfortunately the only 97-01 XJs had either the tan interior or two-tone light and dark gray. I considered changing out all the door panels with the 2-tone, but they wanted $60 for each panel. And since all other 3 door panels are in perfect condition, there was no reason to replace them.

As for the other items:

I wanted a brand new master window switch because mine has a fault that doesn't let the other window switches work. This is common on the XJ, so I didn't want to get stuck with another defective switch.

The heavy-duty headlight harness and autopal headlight conversion kit were both upgrade items. Not readily available at the JY.

I had the same problem, but I just jump the wires like in the DIY to bypass the lockout switch and they all work now. FREEEE

Thanks Odgreen , Ya that was what i thought and was my plan for the morning, but didnt know if maybe anyone here had to deal with this before and found a end that fit. The part stores I called said that would be a special order through a RC dealer.

It was a warm day (45f) so I washed it for the first time in nearly 3 months. It looks pretty, now to find some mud!

Bought 6 3/4" bowtie shackles
Steering box spacer
T/C skid plate
All from JCRoffroad.

I love those guys and would love to have their decal right on my hood as big as possible. I'm slowly building my rig to be armored/bumpered by JCRoffroad. (free advertisement for a friggin awesome product). Suspension will be Rubicon Express so I'll have to find a place for their decal(doors don't work since they're off all summer)
