Comanche SS Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Another saturday used wisely. Started building my new harness. It is a 5 relay and fuse box. Every relay has its own fuse and it is al run off a single CAT5 cable to the switch panel. So only one cable has to go into the cab and dash as opposed to one wire per switch. Also installed my theft deterrent device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on doing to get rid of the factory one on the passenger fender. But that's not going to happen till I do the headlight harness too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche SS Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 An upgrade in a sense to the MJ happened, It graduated to weekend/fun car since I got a dedicated daily. here's my 2006 HEMI Grand WK. Fully loaded, 130k miles, still on warranty, and a beast of a daily. Its immaculate, has all service records, not a blemish inside or out, it is really surprising that it has 130k on it, you would think it has no more than 10-15k based on condition of it. With a 7200lb towing capacity itll be able to lug around the mj with relative ease if or when the need be. Itll stay relatively stock; CAI, exhaust, stereo and maybe some paint on the wheels is all itll get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche SS Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Pardon my ignorance but what does that cat5 cable done exactly. Fusebox and relay is bitchin btw Thank you! And the cat5 cable is for the switch panel, all the signal wires are run through it rather than various designated wires. It's just for cleanlinessSent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KANTANKRUS Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I read this thread through and through (actually scoured it). Pete M. sent me the link on FB, after I messaged him of my intentions. I will continue to follow this thread, as what you are doing to this MJ is very similar to I want to do with mine. Cept for all the expensive suspension stuff. Maybe that will get done, if I can snag 'new-to-me parts, through-out time! I seen that you offered to build a harness for another CC member, would you be willing to extend that offer to me? And if so, can you PM me an approximate quote? Lovin your truck build, thus far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KANTANKRUS Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Additionally, I reached out to Advanced Fiberglass Concepts. They have received rave reviews of their 4.5" bulge front fenders and their pricing is more than fair, including shipping and handling, so me thinks they will get my cash, for that portion and I may reach out to Hannemanns for their bedsides or just keep it stock, as my bed is nearly perfect, plus its a LWB bed. I am not sure that they offer LWB bedsides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
