I pull the seats when I did my switch or try to get to the wiring. Laying flat make that work so much easier.

Pulling that driver seat now is too much work... handbrake cable is next to impossibly to attach... individual seat risers, cross bracing under it... and then when you actually get it all out and lie down flat, that brake switch is still in the most inhumane place on the planet to get your fingers into.

Maybe it is just my large man hands...

All this good advise on how to do it is probably coming from guys who are 5'6 and 160 lbs. I'm 6'0 and 245 lbs. Now, tie a sack of potatoes to you backside and see how easy it is. LOL
 
Yeah Brooklyn has met me, I think he just wanted me to selfie post my large frame jammed in a CJ7 under the dash... that would be funny... and incredibly painful.

Don't you love it when previous owners put things together with what ever they have around. Takes more time to find the problems then it does to fix them. When you're done, you'll have everything done right and it will be easy to fix. When I put the wiring in on the cj8 I ended up on my back with the feet over the top of the seats. Glad you got it working. P.S. The spare tire looks great with all terrain up. I never would have thought of it.
 
Have a break will you CB, you are embarrassing me with the speed you can get things done!!! You will have rebuilt 17 by the time i have got around to doing 1:D

I managed to get to my brake switch by leaning in from the side, no acrobatics involved just needed new knees afterwards!
 
I ended up loosening the steering column and pulling the column cover off... it dropped it down about an inch... with that, I was able to get in from both sides of the column.
The way you described to get it in and from the other side to snap in the connector afterwards. It all works and is buttoned up now.

I just realized I posted the floor pans for the Scrambler in this thread. I have most of the sheetmetal now to do the Scrambler tub. I just am able to buy a piece or 2 every other month, so that is just preparing work to make sure I have all the stuff I need when I tear it all apart.

Now... get back to work!!! :cheers:
