DMT Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Saw you replaced your rear fender liner splash shield (5506274) with an NOS one. Darn. I've been looking for one of those to copy. Wouldnt happen to have another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn. I've been looking for one of those to copy. Wouldn't happen to have another? Actually, no, I never found one. I replaced my front ones but not the rears. Rears were NLA before I jumped into the NOS game. The ones I did realize are no longer available are the front most portion of the front splash shields. Also the rears are actually just plastic shields that sit into the wheel wheel and not the rubber type. Actually i just went and looked at the part you referenced, 55006274. I could easily take one of mine off and send it for a copy or take pictures. They aren't destroyed. Just dirty.

eaglescout526 Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Ohhhh yeahhhh I totally forgot about those buggers. PN for them is 55006178. Completely different than the front splash guards. Those are the rear ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Whelp, it is complete and done to my liking..somewhat lol. I think its looks great and what a full bench console could've looked like for us. If I were to have one designed from scratch, it would fit the contours of the bench and have a mounting bracket somewhere around there with a not so deep cup. But I am not that great with plastic molding at all. All in all, it will serve its purpose well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO413 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Looks good! There should have been a version of that rather than the mini console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should have been a version of that rather than the mini console. That was the idea. I got fed up with having that cup holder in the center and not being comfortable with shifting while a drink was there and thus popped the idea* of doing that console. Plus more pockets to put little/dumb stuff in all the while keeping a factory look. *Thankfully no good full center consoles were harmed in the making of this console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Replaced some broken connectors today. Pretty happy with a good tight click hanging on now. You might know or might now but the four prong is for the ISA and the green is for the MAP I am sure you all know that one. They have seen their years of service.

How did you pull this off? Well I actually wanted to go further and get creative with it but there's only so much plastic to work with and couldn't achieve the fit I wanted where it would fit the contours of the center part of the bench. So what I did was got a trashed full console from my favorite Jeep yard. I actually had the console for quite sometime and pulled it for another member but they found one closer to them. So I took this one, measured the distance from the center vent(still had the small console vent) to the bench seat, made some marks on the console and used a Dremel to cut away the storage box half. I then had to pull the full console under dash vent and duct work and cut the duct to fit and put in the under dash vent with no modifications. I ended up using the floor piece of the console box to make complete the rear cup, which was JBwelded on and holds great. Rest was simply plug and play once the console was done and ready for installation. The only issue I had was the cup holder falling out and not being supported due to the lack of rearward support, so I put a couple unused clothes and stuffed them between the console and duct to get a more secure cup holder. I am currently working on some pieces that will enclose the rear more so you can't see under the console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Well while CC was down I decided to touch up a portion of the dash that has not be touched yet. Figured might as well knock it out and make it look good. The velcro is for the dash cover for the glove box. Otherwise it looks damn good around there now. I also tried getting a quote from a dash company in CA and haven't heard anything from them and its been a few weeks. Figured something is going on over there or they are overwhelmed with orders. But the dash cover will continue to do its job in the mean time. Also changed out my coil springs(again and for real this time) to some NOS standard duty springs since they were $25 a spring. These ones have 9 coils over the previous 8 and JK 7. I wish there was a way to figure out which coil springs came on our trucks, in the catalog Chrysler says the springs are coded with 2 letters, could not find such with the VIN plates. But I am starting to suspect that 2wd 2.5L MJ's came with the light duty springs which makes sense. Would like to have gone heavy duty but those springs are pretty pricy. Some day.
