89 MJ Posted June 21, 2021 Author Posted June 21, 2021 Full cluster installed 5/16. 6/19 it hit 1,000 miles. Granted my speedometer shows 7/6 of my actual speed, but wow, I drive this truck a lot.
MiNi Beast Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 Sure have a good spot to work on those amc gems though. Makes it worth while to be driving them alot. Build them, drive them, break them, fix them, repeat.

Pete M Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 maybe a couple more and you can have your own AMC show

89 MJ Posted July 9, 2021 Author Posted July 9, 2021 You didn’t think the truck was done, did you? We still have a long way to go before it will be ready for the All Breeds Jeep Show. Today, we prepped my new dash for dying tomorrow. I still will have to dye that, paint the sportbar and front skid, and buff the paint.
89 MJ Posted July 15, 2021 Author Posted July 15, 2021 AC is all charged up. That’s all we’ve made for progress though, unfortunately, other than getting the days dyed. I will post a write up about that at some point. I can’t believe I am saying this about a 32 year old base model truck (bench, no slider originally, rubber flooring, no skid plates or sportbar originally, idiot light cluster), but this truck spoils me. I forgot how fantastic the KSuspension headlight relay harness is in combination with Hella E Code housings and H4 bulbs. That might be my favorite modification yet.
89 MJ Posted July 16, 2021 Author Posted July 16, 2021 Nothing like starting a dash swap 4 days before leaving on a road trip to NY and PA from WI.

watchamakalit Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Its amazing the difference a dash will make in the look of the interior.

But I couldn’t bring myself to buy a garnet or honey dash to paint it charcoal. It’s fairly easy to do. It took me about 1.5 hours to get it out. 2 hours ago, MiNi Beast said: Great.

89 MJ Posted July 17, 2021 Author Posted July 17, 2021 New dash is in. Forgot a picture. Tomorrow hopefully. I also still want to give it a wax and change the oil before leaving Tuesday.

89 MJ Posted July 17, 2021 Author Posted July 17, 2021 New dash pictures. The interior is complete at least until after the Jeep show. I still have things that I want to do to it at some point (new mini console, radio from Minuit, new seat cover, and recover the headliner), but it’s going to have to be good enough for now. We also waxed the paint today.
