I had to find a latch from a junkyard when mine broke. Its good to know that someone makes them.

Couldn’t recommend this one enough!

You’re doing a hell of a job. Takes a lot of energy and guts to do something like this. Keep it up.

Greetings from a fellow XJ owner from Romania. About those two lid screws that constantly unscrew themselves: wrap them in teflon tape and only then screw them back in. You can thank me later 😊

I'll try that out, appreciate it!

Some pretty cool stuff there. And yes, XJ's did come with under hood lights. It was a telescoping style light... And long wire and would reach all around the vehicle. It was a really cool idea, but the telescope part would always crap out,.. the wire wouldn't wind back in. So I ended up taking it out on one of ours... And going to go the route you did. I haven't done it yet, so maybe I'll get this under hood light. The light I myself would put it up higher and more centered in the hood

Wouldn’t be hard to do that. You can use a self tapper and put the bracket basically anywhere under that hood…good idea

if your looking for these "Overhead Center Consoles", look in early 90's minivans, they had a very similar design, and can be made to work as well. I wish I would have had my 3D printer when I had my XJ, that switch panel is really nice.

That’s a great recommendation, next time I’m at the junkyard I’ll have to check out all those caravans🧐

Just FYI, MOLLE is pronounced "Ma lee", not trying to be a nitpicker, just trying to help. I love this video and the showcase of products that my XJ needs!

You had me all confused, couldn’t figure out what the hell a mole panel was. When you installed it and explained it for attachments it became clear. Never heard it called that. The military and the tactical crowd use it on everything but they call it “Molly” M.O.L.L.E. Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment Great job, wish my Cherokee had the upper console.

@@backcountrybeagles no worries, it kept me engaged, waiting for the mystery to be revealed. I’ve seen other panels like that But they were made of steel. Seem like they would add a bunch of weight to the lid. I like the idea of the plastic.

Looking good

Added to my bday (may) wish list. Yall need to make XJ HVAC vents other than the one with the mount. Super expensive and anytime I try and scrounge them they're cracked or missing. Great products for 3d printing!!

Printi-Parts take notes!

On my XJ the light was on a retractable spring with like a 10’ lead. So you could take the light with you to the back axle to change a tire. When the light was secured in the housing under the hood, it would be off, until you took the light out of the housing. I’m wondering if it was a switched ground within the housing?

That sounds like a sweet setup! I’ll have to keep my eyes out for one at a junkyard. I do think it is a switched ground. I’m going to retest and I’ll let ya’ll know!

I’m more interested in the stickers they sent why is there no info or listings on their website

@backcountrybeagles

I believe they send them with every order but you can't buy them by themselves.

Looking forward to the mount piece as I have one too without that mount. I friend I have said she put in a 12 outlet in the rear storage part and it has bee great. Good idea for a video. She sold me her leather seats and I added heating element and the switch is where the ashtray used to be and it's an excellent location. Those sets also have the electric movement as well and works good after I replaced a gear in it. My latch is still good but that site does have some good ideas I'll be ordering. I love my XJ. It's got 350K miles on it and a newish 4.0. It needs some lighting as well. Thanks for the links and the ideas.

@@backcountrybeagles I do like the rear seat cup holders. Not going for the molle insert. That cover is flimsy as it is. She also gave me an overhead center console after I did my headliner but she left out the metal bracket that holds the console up. I'll have to make one. Cant find one. The overhead switch panel looks like a good replacement for the door that falls of and just looks crappy. When you build your bracket, I'd love the dimensions.

Hahaha it's a "molly" panel, not "mole" panel. Love your videos either way

So I’ve been told 🥲😅 Thanks, appreciate you!

maybe that ground is a switched ground? If so, that would prevent the draining of your battery if the key was off. I don't know, just a guess. I know jeep is all about switched grounds.
