eaglescout526 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Hey hey you added them! Damn she looks good! Hope you have nothing goin on The 21st of feb to join pirate and I. I'm gonna take a moment and read through this build. Wow, there's a lot of similarities in the mods we have done for our trucks goin on. I love it! Absolutely gorgeous. Gotta love AZ trucks.

eaglescout526 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Nice! How does it perform for you? And how did you go about the wiring harness situation?

I just spliced into the original wiring. Only had an issue with one of the panel light wires. The front knob backlights can be dimmed but not the display itself. Otherwise it works good.
eaglescout526 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Nice. Yeah theres a blue wire from the 141 that controls that but I'm pretty sure our trucks don't help control that. I tested it and it seemed to dim the VFD when the lights are on but its too dim.
MJCARENA Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 Replaced my inner front fender liners. Thanks to eaglescout526 for finding and getting me the new liners. My old ones just pretty much fell apart when I removed them.
MJCARENA Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 When I removed my flares, I got very lucky and only one stud broke off. Most of the nuts came off pretty hard. After I had them off I chased all the threads on the studs and nuts with a tap and die. Then I replaced the broken stud. Putting back together went smooth.
eaglescout526 Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Nice!! Glad to see you got that mess done!
MJCARENA Posted March 12, 2020 Author Posted March 12, 2020 Put a 4 cylinder coolant bottle in my truck. Wasn't to hard, just had to relocate a couple of items and extend some wires. Looks a lot better then the cheap aftermarket one I had over by where the pressure bottle normally goes. A thanks to eaglescout526 for getting me the parts.
eaglescout526 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Damn that looks good! Glad to help you out!
MJCARENA Posted June 27, 2020 Author Posted June 27, 2020 Finally got around to painting around my door windows black. Just trying to keep the Comanche Chief look. I also painted the side vents. Have to do my door handles, since they are faded.

MJCARENA Posted July 22, 2020 Author Posted July 22, 2020 Put a retractable light on under the hood. Had to put a couple of nutserts in the factory holes.
MJCARENA Posted July 25, 2020 Author Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Got some NOS goodness in the mail today. The guy had 2 sets of them on eBay. I think TheDude got the other set. Edited July 25, 2020 by MJCARENA Dude to TheDude
MJCARENA Posted July 26, 2020 Author Posted July 26, 2020 Installed the splash guards today. Now I need to find some front ones.
MJCARENA Posted August 11, 2020 Author Posted August 11, 2020 Put some front splash guards on this weekend.
eaglescout526 Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Are those the new style fronts with the AMC logo on them?

Yes, I found some NOS newer style fronts. With a little paint and some vinyl decal material, I made them match the rears.
eaglescout526 Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Lol. That gives me the further encouragement to do the same to my NOS XJ set for when i go to throw them on Chunk.
