I got it under the 39MB limit and CC isnt showing picture, just sound so ill have to take it to youtube for yall to see.

Will it open from the outside?

Seeing the red plate makes me want to put an old AZ plate on mine. I might do that with chunk with my grandparents old red plate.

No problem.

They all route to the back of the AC control deck.

One line goes to the heater valve and the other line runs to the vac reservoir behind the front bumper on the passenger side. I believe the gray/purple one goes to the vac cannister and the black should go to the heater valve. Youll have to see if your vac lines are still present and haven't been dry rotted out.

Yeah id definitely take it back and see if they fudged up something. If you don't mind me askin, what did the shop do to your truck before this problem occurred?

I absolutely like how this truck has 4 wheel drive but has just a basic pulley set up, alt, WP and main pulley. Nothin else.

Sounds like running lights. Have you recently replaced the bulbs? If so I would check the orientation, they are pretty easy to put in the wrong way so the brighter filament comes on with the running lights and the dimmer ones blink or come on with the brakes.

Great story and looks really good. Don't understand why the PO repainted it though, the old Colorado Red job looked fine. Anyways put her up in the registry and ill get you a build sheet.

Well I have the main center support bracket for the bumper made but progress has stalled since the air compressor blew its head gasket so I can't do much more at the moment in terms of building the rest of the support. In the mean time I got the ZJ gear box rebuilt so I will be upgrading that this weekend. Woot!

It was an optional thing. Some trucks left the factory with them, others could've had them added at the dealer if they liked.

Sounds good! I will let you know and see what happens.

Vinegar bath will rid of the rust but I am not sure of how much will be left.

Might have to take the steering wheel off and look at the turn signal switch and cancel cam and see if you have all the bits that go down for the horn to work.

Wow, thats a way better idea than what I had. Thanks!

They arent rotted out to where they won't be usable, I just am not sure on how well they will reflect, I have an idea in mind if the reflectors arent far gone.

Hey everyone. I am on the look out for ROL fog lamp reflectors. The ones I have are very much rusted out and will probably partly do their job. Here's a diagram of what I'm after: Chrysler doesnt show them as serviceable so I can't locate any as NOS. OR.. I am after a Marchal 750 lens. Parts are for Chunk. Let me know if you guys have anything.

Ouch, that sucks. That's mostly why I honk at people who don't use their signals. Well at least you got it all fixed up!

Theres one NOS left side available.

Right I get that but if you havent replaced the down pipe of the exhaust, you might have this clamp or ring on the pipe still: This thing used to rattle a lot for me an I would hear it at start up and driving. Replaced all bushings and havent heard this guy move around since.
