WOW....awesome..near mostly original...might I say retro' mod MJ. Congrats on MJOTM

Happy Thanksgiving! Glad the bumper mounts arrived. The place with new mudflaps I showed you now has a brand new set of rears but man...almost $100 for the complete set!

oooooo Borla

I love the fact that it is 2WD... I get asked all the time when I'm going to make my lifted MJ a 4X4....maybe never.

I actually liked these... http://shop.trailheadoffroad.ihostnetworks.com/productinfo.aspx?productid=XJCG84-96 and also sent an email to a vendor that makes metal boxes for XJs Neither responded. And last time I checked neither has their own TVs shows with some monkey logo. I can turn a mean wrench but was just looking for a little push. Props to you guys that have the fab skills.

On my MJ it was plug and play. Plugged it into the wiring harness connector ..worked. And my wiring was not the best at first.... for some reason a PO had cut one of the wires and then twisted them back together.

!!!!SECOND MYSTERY SOLVED!!!! Thanks for the input. I had not indicated but had done the NSS rebuild way back. gogmorgo... mine is the same I can drop the column shifter as soon as I unlock the ignition switch. In the middle of laying VERY uncomfortably in the driver's floor board putting everything back together I found the other connector to this... and MADE THE CONNECTION.. The other end I caught out of the corner of my eye...way up behind the gas pedal. You can just see in my crappy picture... comes out of the LARGE wiring loom. I would have never found this just looking under the dash had to get all down in there. Instantly REVERSE LIGHTS and it definitely has something to do with the TCU and TC Unlock. Took truck for ~6 mile test loop. Ran better than ever and had to turn the heat OFF on the way back! It's been a long weekend in the dash but very happy with all my results....HEAT, Pioneer Bluetooth head unit, and all my wiring figured out and more things WORKING!!!!

Not that I have the answer...but... are talking Auto or Stick? If stick 4spd or 5spd?

I've put Jeep Rubicon Moab rims on everything I have. Hell I want a set now for the wife's 2012 KK since it's also 5x4.5! Maybe, I'm lucky but of the four sets I've purchased two came with tires and the most I've paid is $350.00. I call first dibs!

Just my experience, from my own Jeeps and my JY training. First just use what is already on your truck. If it leaks, then lay the new ones out best match to worse and start the T n'E process. Several of these "quick disconnects" seem to come with a spacer but they never seem to work for my stuff. Good Luck.

*****FIXED***** Took complete switch assembly out. Cleaned everything I could. Added "just a little" WD-40 to the internals of the switch. Worked it. Worked it. Worked it. Double checked EVERYTHING again. Double checked fan switch for proper setting of the thumb piece. Connected ONLY the electrical connections. BADA BINGO! WORKING. Thanks gogmorgo for your replies. Sometimes when you are working on something by yourself like me you just need some extra input to keep you going. Now I gotta figure out what that other wiring connector off the brake pedal does. I know it has something to do with the TCU and transmission. Maybe even my mysterious no reverse lights.

Thanks for the replies thus far.... Pulled fusebox off firewall inside...fun stuff.... BROWN from Ignition does supply the 12V over and it's there and it is transferring to the VIOLET/YELLOW which then appears to be applied to the A/C / HEATER switch unit on the top. Here is where it got real interesting.... in probing the LEFT VIOLET/YELLOW there was indeed 12V AND In the middle of this probing ALSO touched the LIGHT BLUE wire....WHEN I DID THE FAN KICKED ON! IF I adjusted the FAN SPEED switch and jumped those two wires again the fan worked. Well it was actually backwards which was slightly puzzling but that might just be the thumb piece is upside down is my guess. SHOULD I pull the whole switch assembly and check for continuity thru the switch?

I've only done the belt-line but I'm happy with my results... B4 after

Any chance anyone has a PDF of the 89' Electrical?????? Looks like I have some tracing and metering to do...and the wiring appears to have changed between 88' and 89'. Which makes some sense since the 101 connector was eliminated. I am at a point that I think the first order is tracing the 12V feed. I have two connectors that I am wondering about as well which I think have some other impacts... This one....connected somewhere in the AW4 wiring it shares cable colors with the switch at the top of the brake pedal. And I found someone else ran into this wiring before.....http://comancheclub.com/topic/42778-high-idle-no-converter-lockup-etc-need-bigtime-help-please/page-2 But I can't quite figure out where mine it suppose to go/be. I don't have/haven't found the 6 pin connector in the above post.

Still attempting to trace this issue down. Checked the brown wire on the ignition switch. MAN WHAT A PITA TO GET TO AND GET UNPLUGGED! Thought I remembered seeing a post about this portion of an ignition switch getting fired and the plug looked just a bit "not right". I had recently torn down an old steering column so....... swapped over the ignition switch from it and.....nope Still no fan blower. Cig lighter and radio still works. Did come back across more wiring/connectors that I think have an impact. One is a three connector TAN, BLACK/YELLOW and BLUE/YELLOW. The Blue/Yellow goes up to the top of the brake pedal...this has SOMETHING to do with the TCU and torque converter lock-up and I am sure this is part of another little issue I have.

Well the cigarette lighter worked last time I tried to charge the mobile phone, the turn signals work but the back-up lights DO NOT and I have tried the common stuff there...NSS....TCU fuse maybe you are onto something with the wire from the ignition switch.. Thanks for the response...try to keep warm!

Have complete set of rear factory bumper mounts. PM me email if interested.

Nothing like waiting til it's COLD. The fan doesn't work on any settings. The fan area in the engine compartment looked like rodents had nested there when I bought the truck. Pulled the fan. Cleaned it, checked area at firewall. Looked OK. No signs of leaky heater core. Wiring had been chewed. Taped back up with electrical tape. Applied voltage at connector directly from the battery and the fan spins very well. Checked wiring at dash controls. Tan wire had melted the plastic connector. Found posts about melted connector. Found near pristine connector at local PullAPart cut connector and wiring from PAP Jeep. Had to cut wiring out of old connector. Was able to saving wiring. Moved wires over to the to the new junk-yard connector. After these basic checks I still have no fan, in any fan switch position. No blown fuse. Basic checks with volt-meter seem to indicated no voltage across fuse location. Have swapped the fan switch and resistor pack sill nothing. Feel like I am over-looking something simple.

I have one that the cable is slightly frayed at the end....was going to J-B Weld or solder it up.... definitely usable.... PM me your email for pictures and we can go from there.

I just purchased the RR liners. I'm happy with them. My past Jeeps have always been Husky liners but lately all these things are PRICEY. Snagged these off CL. Here are some pictures. Driver's Side Passenger Side

RockAuto new tank. Cheaper in the long run.

what is the question here?

New harness....replaced the plastic headlight sockets with ceramic.... replaced original halogen bulbs with Wagner TruView ( on closeout from RockAuto for less than $7.00...AMAZON price is $30.00) Well worth my minimal investment.

Do with it want YOU want. And if you ever change the bumpers and pull out the bed liner. Message me. I'll be right over. Watched that one on CL here in ATL ( live in Gwinnett ).
