97-98 XJ cruise switches, airbag, and some borderline trash

Anyone want some 97-98 cruise control switches? I bought a cruise control setup and also a steering wheel from a '97 to put in my '99, the seller left the switches on the wheel but they don't work with my PCM. Also have an airbag, non-cruise clockspring (one busted tab, but that shouldn't affect function,) and a vinyl steering wheel that looks good but the top part of the padding is coming loose from the core. Might glue back OK or might not. Make me an offer on any/all. Just don't need more "stuff" laying around.

Now for the real dumpster fodder, but speak up if you want it. I also have three stock 5-1/4" speakers (one from a front door of my '99, two from a junkyard sound bar) and a stock AM/FM radio for a '99 XJ which will probably go in the trash unless someone speaks up and says they want it.

Will have available in a few days some tan front door panels that have had the speaker area butchered. Free if you want 'em. I'm putting everything back the way it should look but with some Polk 2-ways behind instead of cheap "head unit and speakers" bundle things wood screwed to the door panels :/ But if you were going to do something silly like try to put mid-bass drivers in your doors you might want these (dunno?)

Would gladly trade for any optional stuff to spruce up a grimly equipped '99 SE, or some non-flat rear springs. I would especially like a roof console, but I know, good luck with that. If anyone local has a correct '99 headliner w/ rear speakers I'd be interested in that too, otherwise I'm just going to go ahead and install this '97 sound bar.

How much for the cruise switches?
 
I dunno what they're really worth, say $20 + shipping? I think they will fit in a small USPS flat rate box, which is something like $6-7 IIRC. Let me know... I should have the correct switches tomorrow so could ship Wednesday. (I went ahead and installed the clockspring and steering wheel over the weekend just to make some progress on the thing.)

Edit: I don't know if I will have an extra of the little harness that goes between the switches and the clockspring or not. If you need that and I end up getting another one with the package that's supposed to arrive tomorrow I'll throw that in as well, but I didn't ask for it and don't know if I'm getting it or not.
 
Are the door panels for manual or power Windows?
 
manual windows. "camel" in color, from '99. Not quite available yet, but will be shortly. Pass side will be missing armrest, as I need to transfer it to the one that I found (the armrest is pretty much garbage on the "new" one, but the speaker area is uncut.) I see you're not local - not sure it's worth it to ship these, but if you were local and wanted to stop by and intercept them on the way to the trash can you'd be welcome to them.

Edit: while replacing my seatbelt today (roommate slammed it in the door latch and horked it up but good) I noticed that it looks like I just need some door switches and associated harness to make the dome lights work on the rear doors. I'd be happy to trade anything I've got for some more door switches!

Would you be willing to ship me the drivers side arm rest with the power mirror control switch?

I would pay shipping costs, of course.
 
just the armrest? You mean drill it out so you can do what I was going to do on the pass side and screw it to your existing door panel with sheet metal screws? I can do that. I have an extra power mirror switch as well. Lettering is a bit faint, but I can test it for you if you like and let you know. (I currently have the "new" door panel on but reused my old power mirror switch because I knew it worked. My mirror wiring is all functional so I can just pop the other one in for a quick functional test.) Would you prefer "saddle" or "camel" color? Both of my driver's sides are good, it's just the pass side I need to keep my original.

BTW I got my color chips today and it appears that "camel" is somewhere in between SEM 15143 "sandstone" (which is a hair light) and SEM 15753 "light oak" (a little dark.) "saddle" looks pretty close to SEM 15323 "palomino." I actually logged in to try to find the thread where I was asking for this info to reply with an update but I can't seem to find it right now.

This is whatI'm looking for.
 
I want to install late model power mirrors into my 92. I have the mirrors just need the switch.
 
I don't know if the harness is the same or not but I do have the plug with little stubs of wires, whoever pulled the door panels for me cut the harness rather than unplugging it. (I hate that, but it might help you.) I just need to get home some evening before it gets dark to test the switch... So do you need the armrest as well then? I don't know if it is the same as the earlier ones or not, but I'm happy to send if you want to try to do custom work. I can send a beat up pass side as well that needs a little gluing to look right.
 
The driver side armrest, switch and wiring pigtail would be great.
