Lately, I feel like the wiring has made me go mad 🥴 

I’m running the engine bay and interior harness in the same spots as the Cherokee to eliminate any confusion or issues when I make repairs or install the dash/HVAC and because I have a 98 at my disposal for reference. Long nights and many, many parts orders has helped me make tremendous progress. So much so, that I put the engine mounts in! It’s very close to getting the freshly rebuilt 4.0 (not a stroker, yet) and transmission in. I just want to check, and check, and double check everything before the engine sits in her final place to hopefully never get removed.

The engine needed some minor parts such as PCV valves, grommets, an Inlet Air Temp Sensor and a few other odds and ends. I’m still looking into a good factory replacement spark plug as I know some of the later model four liters are picky with spark plugs. I’m also trying to find a set of replacement oil drain pan bolts/studs along with replacement Valve Cover bolts as the old ones were mostly gone and are so rusted that I’d rather not throw them on. 
 

The plan is to complete the engine harness this weekend and prep the interior by installing the main firewall harness, the rubber insulated pad, HVAC, and the dash so I can start mounting the 97 doors at a later date. 
 

If anyone knows or has pics of how they mounted their 97+ door latch, please DM me as they will be very useful and I will be very appreciative
