The truck doesn't have an under hood light now and I couldn't figure out what that wire was for. I like the bolt method, looks better IMHO. Yep that's what it is for. I have a non retractable hood lamp for sale with bolts and bulb if you want and the bolts do look much better and hold it in place with peace of mind.
Liketosmash Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Looking great. Thanks for all the fine detail especially on the interior. Giving me some inspiration on what I can do once I have it put back into my truck.

eaglescout526 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Posted January 9, 2020 I think I will do updates in a patch note like set up. Fixed radio signal issue due to broken wire when I removed the bezel and antenna for paint Rear brake cylinders to be replaced this weekend.

eaglescout526 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 Lol one of my coworkers said to make it a clock. I kinda like that idea.
Pete M Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 I've got that one Turbine that was only ever a spare and it'll be on my wall. Never thought about the clock thing though. I might have to look into that...
eaglescout526 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 Look at the time, it's half past Jeep. New project, thanks guys.
eaglescout526 Posted January 12, 2020 Author Posted January 12, 2020 Replaced the wheel cylinders for the drums. Braking out back is much better now. And on top of that I cleaned the back side of my rims. Yes the part no one sees but they look good Couple hours of soaking in engine degrease and scrubbing with a broken metal brush does a pretty good job.
eaglescout526 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 Well I don’t like how to go about such but honestly finding a fog light/cargo light combo faceplate is like finding the rebels on hoth. But I sliced them in half and “spliced” them together. Its not that obvious but head on it is. Oh well.
High2by Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 You notice it cause you did it. The average person probably would not see it.

I got this done in about thirty minutes with a slight screw up. This only happened because I took the carpet out to pressure wash it. It is still dirty but a lot better. And yes there will be before and after pictures on that. This was done around 17:03 and yes I waited till it got darker just for that picture. lol. Just drill a hole for the wires then self tapping screws for the light or bolts all the way through?
eaglescout526 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Posted January 16, 2020 So a big hole about an inch or more in diameter should be drilled for the power wire. I drilled mine around an inch and broke the clip for the wire, no big deal. It doesn't come in contact with any metal. Then drill two small holes for the screws, use the gasket as a template and get some long screws preferable with a point and done. It will be trial and error on getting the lamp to work but the biggest culprit is the contacts in the lamp itself for the ground that comes from the two mounting screws. So letting the lamp sit in a solution if vinegar and water should help all the brass contacts come clean.
High2by Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 The install sounds like the easy part, finding the light, that could be another story.

Install is quick and easy, locating a light, not so much. The wiring for the cargo lamp should be tucked up somewhere behind the drivers side B-pillar
High2by Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 When I put in the new B pillar lights I found the "extra" harness and wire, so yes it it's in there too bad they didn't have the light stuck in there as well.
eaglescout526 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Posted January 24, 2020 Lol would’ve been convenient. Anyways. Good news everyone. I got a NOS O2 sensor in because I failed emissions and my fuel economy has tanked pretty hard lately. Here’s what I found as I’m sure we all know NTK is OEM manufacturer for O2 sensors. What we all debated about was the ceramic tops and metal tops being better or worse due to the ceramic ones going away. Well this one is metal which surprises me. Hopefully we can all see that it says NTK. So to say I think either sensor style is fine to use. Just go NTK.
