Thanks Tim, that is my part number (took the 30 seconds to pull the bag this morning).
On some interchange listings I see 98-01 XJ and 97-01 TJ are the same. Then others I see the 97 TJ bag fits the 97 XJ (all w/cruise). I will pick up a later year bag if thats all I find in the yard, I think they will fit.
A couple more questions:
As far as the passenger bag, Do i need to get a new cover? or does the old one snap back down?
I have read that the clock spring is not absolutely necessary, in the case none of the wires are fried. Mine were all in good condition, though i suppose things could be different inside the clock spring. I might replace everything except the clock spring, and see if the airbag light is on or my cruise/horn fail to work. Is there any problem with that?
My steering wheel no longer seems to lock. Not a huge deal, but is it a symptom of something that may go wrong down the road?
