The reason for the cluster and column is comunication with the computer. The sentury security system has the VIn burned into the computer and key. The column gives me cruise, all the hookups for the harness and once i get a replacement, an airbag! (Maybe i will maybe i won't havent decided if i want to run one yet) The tank is simple its a 25 gal tank that has the right fuel pump to run the motor, (single line system 30psi) I don't know it all seemed good in my head and it worked but i know i could have saved myself alot of fab time getting the old crap to work but i would have spent alot of time researching wiring etc... Once i get my axels under her (30 up front 44 in the back this weekend) she will be a one of a kind and well, mine just the way i wanted it. 8)

Wifes camera is being a pain, have to go to Wal Mart to print off the pics before I can download them, I don't understand it its her camera. :dunno: I spent all day welding two stering coumns together and putting everything in the comanche. The 01 TJ cluster and steering column/wheel are now in and wired up. Turned the key and she fires, won't start till I put the TJ gas tank in maybe next weekend.

I am going to post pics of stuff as i fab it up. The normal old stuff like gutting the 2.5, tranny and wiring harnesses I'm not going to worry about. Mostly what i will post is fabbing the steering column out of the TJ to fit in your MJ as well as the Inst. cluster. I am going to load the pics of the dash/inst cluster tonight when i get home got it done today fairly easy fab :thumbsup: .

http://colorado4wheel.com/allmanuals This website has service manuals free to download (PDF). They are the official Chrysler manual anyway, hope this helps someone out as much as it did me.

Found the parts today for $225.00 not bad anyway looks as if I'm going to need to find the wiring diagram for the 01 wrangler, the mess of harness is more dificult to figure out than i first thought. As soon as i can figure out how to put pics on here i will post some of the beast.

Just got a price on the parts today and wow! you would think I'm getting the stuff for a Porche or something :eek: . The cluster and column are going to run me $425.00 someone tell me that there is a cheaper place to get this stuff? :help:

Hey, I'm new to the forum as of yesterday, well thought I would join because I recently purchased an 89 MJ 2.5 2WD for $1000.00. I know that sounds crazy but hear me out, it came with a 4.0/AX-15 combo out of a 01 TJ already transplanted in as well as a dana 44 and the dana turdy for the front plus all the wiring harness, cross members and drive shafts and the gas tank. Here is my question: If i go buy an instrament cluster and steering column, jam them in the Comanche and hook up the harnesses will this work? Everything in me says it will but there are alot of people more knowledgable in this subject than I am. I have done a swap like this taking the motor out of a 96 XJ and putting it into an 89 XJ and the above method worked. Also anyone have the cluster and column for sale?? I have never used a forum before but i plan on trying to do a wright up. Anyway, any help i can get would be awesome
