your truck is one of the few vehicles that fit with the yellow/blue plate that NY has now.

earned more of its keep last night,

fun fact, with two engine hoists each hooked to driver and passenger front door latches on center pillars of a 4 door XJ, it balances pretty good to pick up 4' and back the 49 under!  duals hit the lift arms the jeep grill was only 2' from the headake rack 


jeep was on blocks no axles or motor, picked it up for free.
98 4dr missing axles and motor.  good trans/case/interior/title.  lots of treasures buried in it!

had some interested buyers this week.  One was supper enthustiac then dropped off face of planet.  Another guy came and lot test drove, seemed not interested.  wanted to put a saw mill on it for in job site work.  He really liked the flat bed but didnt seem interested in the truck condition or detail.

Hey Mike. Just joined your forum and was perusing this thread. I know truck is gone now, but the quoted info is 100% true on a DBW setup.  I figured this out on my own with the wiring schematics on my MDT.  The mentioned wires go into the TAC module. 2 toggle switches on the dash. It's a dream.
