Not that it will probably do you any good but the part number is 5EG09RK5AB.
Maybe some NOS will pop up someday.
Or the boneyard will pay off someday.
I am just guessing here but thinking maybe 20% of the '99 to '01 XJ's came with the Camel interior.
Agate obviously being the more popular color.
Oh and if you have your heart set on Factory mud flaps that might take a bit to find them at a reasonable price.
And they will be used.
Front is 82203434.
Back is 82203435.
Most likely won't find those either unless some NOS pops up with that too.

Did the C101 connector delete on mine (thanks cruiser54 for all your write ups). While I was in there with the soldering rig I took that opportunity to correct all the places in the engine bay where WIRE NUTS were used to I don't know what purpose.
It started really hard after, and then stalled after a few seconds. After the restart it seems to run and drive fine now. Looks like the dash temp gauge and the ECU temp gauge now agree (at least up to 160F), and the oil pressure needle moves a little bit, but not as it should. The trans part of the TPS looks better as well. The various live data items look pretty normal. I didn't drive it enough to reach overheat since it pretty much takes off road mountain grades to get it that hot.
Sometime soon comes the cooling system rebuild.

Well done.

Wire nuts are for vibration free use only.
I saw them during the purchase look over and they have been bothering me ever since. Took a couple hundred miles to get a round to it.

They can take a beating depending on how the Jeep is used.

Only two I could find on Ebay. I paid $50 for all 4 about 6 years local to me off Craigslist and think I paid too much. LOL.
But really wanted them.
Poke around enough and I am sure some will come along at a reasonable price.
Someday. LOL.

Got curious. Just to give you an idea about the mud flaps.

Weird. Everything seemed fine when I parked yesterday. Today at startup sounds like advanced rod knock. Is there anything that could sound similar? Heavy knocking mid motor and a slight squeak from somewhere at the same tempo?

Finished putting in the floor patch panels today, sealed top and bottom with seam sealer. Holes near the trans tunnel were pretty big but the section nearest the door just had a bunch of small holes in it, so I figured it would be easiest to put in a single panel there as well to cover them all. Used two caulking gun tubes of seam sealer so everything is sealed up pretty well top and bottom including the pop rivets.
There was fiberglass insulation under the carpet but that's ratty and totally encrusted with pieces of rust, pretty much impossible to clean up, so I'll need to find a piece. (Hopefully won't have to buy a whole roll of the stuff.) Also some double-stick carpet tape to hold the carpet in place where I cut it up, and I'll shoot the underside with undercoating to finish the job.
This is definitely a redneck repair job - we'll see how it holds up!

Raptor
So I finally corralled the time together to get the Raptor on the Jeep. For a complete spray gun noob, and never before applying any bedliner ever, I think I did an ok job. I am aware of the few imperfections and as you can see I tried like hell to texture the shnizzles out of it to compensate.
If anyone is thinking of doing this, here's my input for future use...I bought the kit that comes with the gun and 8 liters of Raptor. I did the entire Jeep including the roof with two coats and I still have 3 bottles left for touch up. That said, I didn't have enough daylight left to go back and spray the door jams, and they weren't prepped anyways at the time but I will eventually go back and do those too, probably next week when I have a few days off.
Before the Raptor
Raptored
The lines came out clean IMHO

Just dug into ours today although we got the 8L tintable with gun and are going over white OEM paint.
Is that one heavy coat we are looking at or light, multiple coats?
Also considering adding some reducer so it lays a little flatter.
Can I ask what PSI you ended up with on the gun?

So this is where all fun begins prior to rhino liner.
Both are ready for degreaser then 2k primer.
