              Also got the parking brake kind of back in place with all the cables, but can't finish it up until I get my new kick panels. Should ship next week.

                Next cluster I have to deal with is all the wires under the dash. I"am installing after market gauges, And I'am not good with electrical.

                  I bought A gauge cluster from Zack at Z&M jeeps and It comes with A very detailed set of instructions. I read over them several times and it is pretty straight forward.

                      I had to buy a gear drive starter to clear that oil supply line that comes out of the side of the pan, no way to run a stock starter. Probably had the headers, starter, and trans cooler lines off and on ten times. All very tight, but all of it fits.

I have been "lurking" here for awhile.. reading up on all the great info you guys have written up.Amazing what you can learn by reading - But why ?? After


                          Take a look at post 185 and 193 .. A decent way to dress up that cluster face.. Just a thought.

                          If by chance you can'y get it any more, I have a roll ...

                          Have enjoyed watching your work. Jim

                              Thanks to all for the positive feed back! As most who have tried to work on these rigs, it seems like they are kicking and screaming at you the whole time, almost like a little kid. Also thanks for the link on that decal. not sure what I will be doing with that yet.

                                one thing is for sure
                                guys like you who build it yourself
                                piece by piece
                                know the vehicle like the back of your hand

                                when a bug comes up later
                                you know exactly how it all was done
                                and that is a huge advantage.

                                this is a real good build

                                like brand new vehicle

                                can't wait to see it complete...and it is getting close.
