Project: Slippery Slope – a ’91 MJ runner

MJ was wrapped like a burrito before I matte black sprayed the rocker areas cab and bed sides.

 

 

And… done. Will see if I can get to laying the graphics on Sunday. Should be an adventure.

Your attention to detail is amazing and i loved reading this thread from beggining to current state. Cheers and can't wait to see more!

Taking a break clearing the property of dead trees and clutter (it’s endless). I'm going to let fall and winter do its thing. Going to get back to inside the housework painting walls and finishing at least one MJ before Spring. That’s the goal. Step 1 is getting this MJ’s interior tested and back together, which includes audio/ BT installation, charging the AC, and then reinstalling the dashboard, etc.

 

Some early morning progress attaching the overhead console rear-most mounting bracket to the MJ’s roof, and test fitting with the headliner board in place. Success.

Details… I replaced the old felt surrounding the rectangular HVAC vents dashboard side with adhesive-backed Velcro 1/4” strips. Also replaced the small bit of felt bottom side of those rectangular HVAC grille/vent inserts, and top and bottom on the passenger side square grille/vent just below the glove box. Last important detail for the “new” dashboard is the old ’91 VIN plate. Can’t exist without that.

As with my other MJ, I’m using a factory NOS ’87 AM/FM radio with add-on BlueTooth. The BT vendor I went with prior (Redi-Rad) that tailored his business to classic car owners has since retired, so using a new solution – iSimple. It has phone capability included if the head unit had an aux port but mine does not, so I removed the extra wires. Now it’s just antenna coaxial connections, power, and ground.
