Picked up the knuckles off a '97, mine had some brake pad gouging issues:

Also grabbed the side view mirrors from the '97, didn't I read that they could be put on earlier model year XJs?

For anyone interested there is a Chrysler 8.25 under that '97. It's at A1.

It surprises me how fast XJ parts go. That XJ was waiting to be put out in the yard on Saturday when I was there, I get back this morning and the engine/trans/tc and front axle shafts are all gone already. Made pulling the knuckles easier, though!

Have you ever seen time-lapse videos on Animal Planet where a corpse in the desert is shown to disappear in days?

That's actually an XJ in a junkyard. They just say it's maggots

What condition were the drivers side front and rear doors in?

Not good, it had been in a driver's side front impact crash. The front door was junk, I can't remember the condition of the rear door, though. I know it was trashed, but can't remember how good it was.

Sounds about right!

I was down there today..the drivers side doors are nothing more than scrape metal at this point. I tried to pull the passenger front but my huge channel locks weren't the ideal tool for the job. Oh well, another day maybe.

It probably is considered stealing the thread, but i have 2 rear doors off a 97

How much do you want for the drivers side rear door? Send a PM if you like.

Driver's side leather seat in GOOD condition at Pull-N-Save. I feel like a bandit! They had a number of the older XJs today, one '96 that had been rolled.

FWIW: they had a '95 ZJ with rear disc brakes, kinda picked over, but may be something of interest.
