Got a good woman if she'll let you do jeep wiring in bed. :teehee:

I think I understand wiring alot better now. Had help with harness from this link... XJ dash harness to rear MJ harness wiring

 

So got the dash in and heater, So worked on the steering wheel as in 95 they use a better steering column so the mounting is different vs the later 89 MJ column.

this was the 95 XJ mount notice smaller mounting bolts as well as it is an inch closer to the fire wall. So you can drill out all the spot welds and weld it back on you firewall easy enough, or just weld on new bracket on the column as the 95 XJ column has all the electronics by the wheel and wires run external of the column not internal like the 89 MJ.

 

buddy making the welding look easy. :naughty:

 

mounted and make it look good.

 

got the carpet in and center console, little trim work left then seats.

 

So then got the steering box frame section reinforced up a bit and have a steering box brace on its way and will be getting a JCR Offroad steering box inner spacer just cause I don't feel like making one of those up. So after getting that welded up the woman went to town and painted the engine bay with some rust stopper paint and I will go over everything again with some black paint.

 

and this bottom part will be the start of a box skid like you see on a YJ/TJ.

 

So tomorrow check list is degrease engine and trans and change remain seal and valvecover gasket, then need to replace the headed as it has been welded once and is majorly cracked again so need to just replace it for decent on to hold me over till I hit the lottery and get me a borla setup. ;) and then hopefully get the brackets switched out on the seat and get them installed. Then should have engine harness installed in engine bay as well.

well same day as locking myself out of the rig, I lost the only key at dinner that same night, so further more had to improvise. :dunno:

 

 

but was able to take it on a good shake down run and I was very impressed with how nicely everything worked and held together. Girl and I had a good time with my buddy leading the way.
