Go figure. I will have to get that sorted out. Where did you get a NOS handle like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limeyjeeper Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 It is an addiction that I am proud to own lol!! The first Comanche I did in 2007 was much easier. Still a lot of parts available. Not so much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Yeah...aint that the truth. Some parts still hide at dealers and at vintage. When that one member got a NOS rear bumper for his truck a while back just from having no bumper on his truck gives me hope theres still NOS parts laying around in peoples possessions.

Is it just me, 'cause if it is, I get it. Also, on the bottom picture the toggle switches are reversed. The lock button is the one with the vertical "stripes" cast into it. The top one is correct.

High2by Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Looks like the whole cup assembly is for a passenger door but ended up in a drivers side bezel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct it has part no 55002154 and RH stamped on the back. The drivers and passenger bezels are different. The slot for the handle is shorter than the slot for the lock lever, and there is a slot in the back of the molding for the lock lever stop. The driver bezel is part no 55002155.

Does any one think Jeep did that to match the grill!? Really enjoying your build! You're not holding back on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limeyjeeper Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Finally did a test fit of the engine harness. I had a few issues that I can now fix. The drivers side LS injector harness needed to be repositioned further to the drivers side of the vehicle. Just need to extend a couple of wires. The alternator wire is too long. The ECT (Engine coolant Temp) sensor is a three pin. The harness is setup for 2 pin. I am using the Camaro 3 pin sensor so I can use the third pin to drive the temp gauge in the cluster. I extended the Warn controller wires into the cab so I could mount the plug in the dash. Now able to get those wires the correct length. Also was able to get the High/Low pressure switch wiring the correct length. This is needed to give the PCM the correct inputs to run the AC. Got the right length for the Oil temp sensor, 2nd fan connection and starter motor trigger. Figured out where to place the Cruise Control module so I can get those wires to the correct length. I am going to have to create a hybrid cruise control cable using a cruise cable from a 2000 truck 15734164 and an accelerator cable from a Monte Carlo AC Delco part no 12554160. The accelerator cable used is the stock Camaro cable 12565560 Now I need to make the changes and do a full bench test before final install. I won't be wrapping the harness until the engine and gauges are running correctly. I am sure I will need to fix something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limeyjeeper Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 The decked system came this week. A very cleverly designed kit. I am using the Toyota Tacoma version. I had to massage it a lot due to the tonneau cover canister. I decided on the 6' 2" system verses the 5ft as I didn't want the gap at the end of the bed. Turned out pretty good Also decided to dump the gigantic Warn Winch controller box and just mount the sealed Solenoid. Takes up much less space. With cable covers it will work fine. Needed the room to route AC lines. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
