Nice! What year is that? We have a 1988 "Limited" but it doesn't have the fake wood siding. I'm assuming that one also has the 242 transfer case with the "full time" option. It works great. Even with three open differentials it goes through just about anything and everything. The Jeep suspension keeps the weight equally on all four wheels on anything resembling a road.

You just have to get used to funny noises and leaks ;)

1991 they only made the Briarwood for 2 years . It has the 242 transfer case ,full leather interior was suppose to be the replacement for the Grand Wagoneer. No rust on it at all truck was never used in snow

That's a beautiful Skyliner Leon. Maybe you can answer a question for me. It might be an old wives tale but I've heard that if the roof on a Skyliner gets stuck when it's down position that you cant get to the mechanism to get it to go back up because it's stuck under the roof.

It's like that on my Porsche. If the battery goes dead. The battery is under the front hood or trunk or whatever you want to call it. It's controlled by an electronic switch to open it. No battery=no switch. And no backup. (ask me how I know) I had to hook a battery charger to the fuse box to pop the trunk to get to the battery. It's a terrible design. :smoke:

It depends on what the problem is. When I first got it the roof wouldn't raise and I figured out that one of the solenoids was bad. Luckily all you have to do is remove the back of the rear seat cushion and all of the solenoids are located in a metal box there. I just used a heavy jumper wire and shorted across to the top circuit and raised it. If the deck lid won't release there are access holes under the trunk pan and you can insert a socket on a long extension and unscrew the locking mechanisms on it. I had a wire get pinched under the passengers side, top lift arm, and it was a pain to get fixed. Not much room to work when the top is nested into the trunk.

The '57 Skyliner top has seven reversible electric motors, four lift jacks, a series of relays, ten limit switches, ten solenoids, four locking mechanisms for the roof and two locking mechanisms for the trunk lid, and a total of 610 ft of wiring.

I have always been able to get the problems taken care of without using any destructive means....:)

Dont know how many times the roof on the 60 Thunderbird we have got stuck half way . Trunk open roof halfway down . Have to play with the relays and limit switches jumping things to get it up or all the way down . Most times it's because the battery is low been meaning to change out the generator to an alternator .Someone makes a printed circuit board but its pricey .

I sold all of the extra projects and a ton of parts, but I still have a "few" bits and pieces lol.

Dang swap meets being shut down has put a damper on me getting rid of the rest. Even though I got a lot of boxes to sell various parts I'm just not feeling like messing with it.

:lol: Far enough from the curb, it deserves mashing. When I was still working and carpooling, there was a neighbor of the my car pool buddy who would block off the whole street so her kids could run around on it. I did entertain running over one of the signs...not the kids, though.

Just hope they ring it up as $10 and not at 50% off.

And, 2+2=5 for large enough values of 2. ;)

50% off ... that's $18.38, right?
