Then go teal. :grinyes:

It will either stay red or go teal. My interior is black bow but I'm going to do a black tan mix with woodgrain which will go with both of those colors.

Tons of progress today. My wiring harness is about to be complete but is basically all cleaned up compared to what it use to be. Got my dash board all back in and installed a sspod type switch panel. Along with a new jeep cables battery kit. Driving is it the near future !

Little more wiring done. So much cleaner then the old harness. I actually now have room for my winch solenoid and the fuse pannel thing along with a breaker and a 200a fuse all in that general area. So wiring is essentially done now. Just some work to do on my header pannel.

So much fun today.  Part of the engine sleeve came off making me have to take the engine and trsns back out again. Then one bolt stripped on my front drive shaft so I had to cut it off and now 3 of 4 bolts for the tranny mount also stripped so I have to cut that off as well.

Yep. Just did My distributor indexing and put a new u joint in the rear so I could put My driveshaft back in again. Finally went to go test if it will run after messing with distributor and then what happens? My starter decided to kill it self randomly :bs:

No video but it ran today! Had to reset distributor timing for a second time and my fuel rail was partially clogged. Once I uncloggdd it of course the other side started leaking so it does not run very good with the massive leak. Besides that all I have to do is bleed the clutch and weld the exhaust back up and I'm on the road!

With this project coming to a end and the next one starting I feel pretty good. Sad to loose a lot of memories and money but it taught me alot of mechanical skills. Well off to the next mj! Here's some of my favorite pictures of it threw out its life with me.

Got the Chief  home a couple of days ago, it was really nice to meet you Caden, whenever your up the Nh way feel free to come by, towed it home I with my buddy’s F-150 and then the next day I hooked it to my MJ for fun and to get it up the driveway

Thanks Carter, Rn the plan Is to get it running again, and eventually restore it into a pretty much factory Chief 

That’s going to be a gorgeous truck. Can’t beat the Chief stripes, IMHO
