I kinda wondered if it was an olympic edition or not. What all does the olympic package include?

 

Other than the special decals, gold stripe down the side and olympic rings above the badge, I don't thing it really had options specific to it. I think I remember that it was just the pioneer package that was label as olympic editions though. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

:cheers:

Well I made some small progress yesterday. I started off the day removing pinstrips. Here is a during shot.

Here is a finished side.

I must extend a big thank you to whoever it was that told me about the eraser wheel.

 

Then I installed my "new to me" cargo light. And realized I don't have a switch.

:cry:

Next I started diagnosing my high idle issue. I pulled the IAC motor and guess what I found....(sorry for the crappy pic)

Then I pulled the headliner and wired the cargo light. Sorry no pics of that. And today I started on my overhead console/headliner project. I am chopping a cherokee console and recovering it and the headliner. Here is the cut console.

Spent the morning at the Junkyard. Got a switch for my cargo light and an extra cargo light that might be forsale. I also got a full gauge cluster, a center console, some extra tailights (might be for sale), under dash courtesy lights, light for the cigarette lighter ring, short visors with vanity lights, new steering wheel center. There is probably more but I can't think of it right now. I am headed to another junkyard and will post pics later. jamminz.gif

Picked up the axles trans and tcase today.

 

Have a few questions.

 

Do I already have wiring in my truck for NSS, TCU, 4wd indicator, and vaccum lines for the Tcase or do I need to run all this stuff?

Will my current crossmember work with the auto 4x4 or do I need to pick up a new one?

My D30 came without the CAD is there an easy way to shim it without the fork being in there and then just put a plate over the acess?

I think this is all for now. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am gonna start swapping in axles tomorrow night. Wish me luck. :cheers:

Fedex payed me a visit yesterday and what did I get.....

First step was to backfill the corners since I am not going to swap to the 96+ fenders....

Next was tear down the old clip...

2760409930045357542S600x600Q85.jpg

 

Then it was time for a test fit....

2560515710045357542S600x600Q85.jpg

 

 

And then the final product after trimming the front fenders minus the sidemarker lights. Gotta get some more screw inserts so I can install them.

All in all it was pretty straight forward pull the old off put the new on. I did fab some brackets to attach the fenders to the new header panel as it mounts differently than the old but other than that it was really simple.

Looking good but I've got to ask, why don't you want to swap the fenders to 97+?

 

:cheers:

 

Just don't see the point. My old ones will line up fine once I shave the front corners and then I don't have to worry about the rear flares not matching the fronts. Guess its just kinda my way of being different. ;)

Or you could do like this guy with the rear flares:

MJ2.JPG

MJ3.JPG

 

As you can see he has 97+ flares in the front, and 96- flares in the rear that have just had the ridge shaved off.

 

Alternatively you could take 4 97+ rear flares and splice them together to make them fit, this is what I will be doing on my 2500 flares.
