Drove it to work, for the second time ever. It shifts much better now that the transmission output shaft is the right length.
Also got the front end aligned, if I get seatbelts and heat installed this weekend the girls will get to ride in it to school Monday.

Actually its a Piper Navajo...(aka work vehicle) and no...it belongs to the company I work for. ( airplanes are wayyy expensive....Jeeps are cheap by comparison)
Finally got my wiring inside sorted enough to have lights. Wired in my kill switch. I think the old neg cable is a bit rusty. The HEi wouldn't spark. The only thing I can think of is the earth isnt good enough for the HEI to spark. It used to spark on my boss's neg cable.
Swapped the racing buckets for normal CJ seats.
Moved the twin sticks to between the seats as I couldn't shift them from the standard position.
Just need to finish wiring it up, sort the exhaust and the gas pedal (damn they are short throw or what???)

Assembled and Mounted Doors
I owe significant forum karma for this one! Used J-Scherb's door rebuild instructions for both tear down and reassembly (when you assemble 11 months later, it's amazing how much you forget). Then, the recent thread on door fitment helped significantly! Only about 45 minutes on the first door!
Cheers! Thank you all for the help!
Almost ready for Snow-Wheelin'

Finally got a chance to install my Christmas present! Dakota Digital's new VTX gauges. Awesome gauges and believe it or not...all of them work at the same time
Those are sexy!

x2Those look very "right" in a CJ
Agree! I usually don't care for the newer/techno looking stuff but those are pretty cool!

Agree. I was going to have to find/install another OEM (#3) speedometer and had looked at the original all digital Dakota model in the past, but did not care for the look. I noticed the new VTX model, and really like the new design. My Scrambler isn't a restoration, more of a resto-mod so I think these gauges were a good choice. EASY installation, and no more speedo cable to fuss with. Came with wiring for speedo, temp, oil and all the reqd. sensors. Highly recommend!

Ok... so I'm an electrical nimrod. How does it get signal if there is no speedo cable? Any pics?
Mind if I ask what the general cost was for the three gauges? About the only thing I am not sure on with these is the way the fuel and volt gauges seem to blend into the background. I'm curious as to your opinion after you've had them in a while if you get used to it or if it does seem... weird.
