Thanks for the link.  Those 3D decals look like they would be perfect for the little center piece on the horn buttons.  I see that you are able to submit a custom design and size, which could be an  :eagle: or  :amc:

I suppose they'll want me to buy 4, perhaps others would be interested.

Sorry to hijack your thread   ;D

very nice, and the prices seem reasonable. Did the customs cost much more than the premade ones?

No issues with the hijack. I posted them here for others to see and if the want the graphics, they could use them. MIne of course were custom. A normal set through them is 8/9 dollars. Suspect they make them in bulk so they can sell cheaper. Custom one off would of course cost more (15 + 3 dollars for shipping. They sell in sets of 4 as they are typically made for center caps.

New plugs today (Champions vice the Autolites that were in there) along with new air filter and tightened the squealing alternator belt. Here's what the plugs look like after 2 years

I never cared for Champions in my AMCs. The old racer's joke used to be the reason Champions were sold in boxes of 10 was to improve your chances of getting 8 good ones.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

Change to my plans. Swapped out the Cherokee wheels with OEM Eagle wheels. I like this look better
