Looks like it. If I had to replace a fuse block and clean up wires, I'd probably go that route and get new terminals instead of cutting, splicing, and soldering everything.

Here you go... fresh off the printer. :thumbsup:

I went looking around for pictures on how to take apart a fuse block (box?) and came up with a bunch of information on how to do it... but we all love pictures so I wasn't satisfied with what I was coming up with. Fuse block front: Fuse block bare chassis: Back of fuse block: Back of bulkhead connection showing the elusive 8mm head (however apparently sometimes 7mm, 6mm, or 1/4") bolt: Here's the extraction tool I made using a piece of stainless TIG filler. It's roughly 1/4" from tip to tip and I tapered the ends so it would fit nicely around the female fuse terminals: Shown in fuse block: The extraction tool fits snugly vertically above and below where the fuse would seat into. Keep pushing it in until the wire starts to slide out the back. When the terminal comes lose, it simply pulls out the remainder of the way. Terminal: The two angles "wings" on the terminal is what is being pushed together by the extraction tool. Before putting the terminal back in, it;s a good time to tighten up the fuse seat. Gently bend the "wings" out so the terminal stays tight when inserted back into the block.

Another for "flash red".

With the gold under the hood and the black exterior, there has obviously been a repaint at some point. Any filler that you know of? That'll determine how big of a job the rockers could potentially be. As for the floors... eh :dunno: ... looks like a typical MJ floor to me. The frame is what's kind of important there. It's really too bad that most of the time these trucks rust from the inside out. How bad you figure the frame is if that's what the floor looks like? For $400, if it runs and drives and everything works, I'd be all over it. Keep the thing running as cheaply and as long as you can as long as it's safe. :thumbsup:

Anything new on this one? -
Looks like a couple nice little shears there too. Those free also?... I would've been all about them.

Something like this... Let me know if you'd like to trade for the flares.
-
I'd either ditch them or move them over to the door at the bottom belt line similar to how the later model Cherokees were. Did you keep the original flares?

Surprised this isn't getting the same crazy attention that any of the SCCA trucks have gotten when up for sale. :dunno: -
Rattle can paint jobs are great because you can start and stop whenever you want. When I painted my truck it took me a good month... and then I went back after winter to finish the bed! In that last picture you can see the difference between the fresh paint and six or so month old paint. Everything pretty much matches at this point. Rattle cans will fade especially if the vehicle sits outside. I was thinking to go white as I don't think it would've been as noticeable when it faded but the wife wanted the green. After about a year now I'd say that the majority of the truck's paint is holding up very well. Couple spots where the paint it bubbled a little bit but they're either right on an edge where something might've chipped it or way down in an inside corner where I probably didn't prep as well it I should've. Really not a big concern to me... when it bugs me enough I'll just prep and reshoot a panel and let it fade again. After all, it is one of those "maintenance free exterior models". :yes:

I think it was in neighborhood of 14ish cans of paint and a half dozen cans of primer.
-
Whatever was cheaper. :D Not the painter's touch stuff... I think.

... odd... all my VW related forum stuff is all fine. Why does Facebook hate my Jeep stuff? :hmm:

I used to use Photobucket... perhaps it's time to go back.

Anyone else run into issues with hosting their pictures on that face-tube thingy? I've been using that for a while now and every so often I go through my threads and find a bunch of dead pictures. Just noticed it now that it seems like everything from "date X" to "date Y" needs to be redone. Frustrating as all get-out, I tell ya. :bs:

Painted with gloss army green Rustoleum rattle cans... ... the gloss did not last. Ah well... Pete said it best the the magic is in the prep. Keep everything clean and you can paint with just about anything.

One would think so, wouldn't they? Unfortunately it seems as though that every year those who drove through the elements the previous year completely forgot how and are always starting from scratch. As for the new drivers... well... those kids should've just stuck with riding the bus to school. :shake: We've had a good foot of snow for a week now and people are still driving like maniacs out there. I teach at a tech college and 11 of the 38 students in my program have gotten into some kind of accident just this week... three of which managed to put their vehicle on its roof. Idiots... all of them. Dern kids and their tomfoolery. :fs2:

Ugh... had to do some snow wheeling this morning. Even got the truck involved when the car got stuck in the driveway. Ho... ho... @#$%ing ho... it's that time of year again. :wall: Figured you where getting hammered. I have 1.5" on my deck this morning. LOL About 8-10" from Sunday evening into yesterday morning. More on the way.
