The dash is all back together. Must confess, one of my employees Garret is excellent at wiring, and I put him on tidying up and doing all the irritating, laying on your back, clean up and connection work on the inside of the dash. He fought a couple of gremlins but I think its all there now...

All good, onward, the 4wd light and backup lights now work. the parking brake light will eventually work, have to replace the switch. I've resorted to just replacing all these while we are there... brake pedal/brake light switch parking brake switch headlight/dash dimmer switch the turn...

Hopefully addressed maybe a grounding issue. The tail lights were the original tail lights and had bulbs in the them that were less than marginal. The grounding was probably the same. Just happen to have some LJ take off tail lights but of course they did not have correct plugs on them...

Didn't really want to start tackling this but I already had some of the sheet metal replacement pieces on hand. The rear floor under the drivers rollbar foot was pretty bad, but limited mostly to the very corner repair piece. So, got it cut out tonite. Wasn't that hard because it was...

Progress. The engine bay harness is a bit more tidy, made a bracket for the computer to mount in front of the battery, instead of below the battery tray, mounted the hotwireauto engine fuse box on a little bracket made for the fender. Running dual oil pressure, and water temp sensors, and...

So, I gave up, just plugged the smaller Speedhut threaded insert on the housing and going to a hose mount sensor. Might help if i actually put the thermostat in there before I mount it for the last time though.... So, next question. After that fiasco, I'm really wondering if I need a dual...

Yep, that looks like you have all kinds of more room than i have. This is a complete setup/fan/motor/trans/fuel/frame everything from a 06 LJ.

Also determined that an elbow or T will not work either because of how much of the sensor sticks inside of the housing..

So, a bit irritated at the whole thing. I recalled using this high flow housing on the original scrambler I restored and don't recall any of these issues. Found the documentation for the speedhut sensor and they do say you can trim it, so I trimmed the end of it and was able to get both of...

Heater box rebuild done and installed. Onward to wiring and gauges. refresher, the drivetrain is a 2006 LJ w 4.0 automatic. The CJ engine harness and the LJ harness were sent off to HotwireAuto and they completed their magic. Originally didn't know if I was doing new gauges but have recently...

New fan and heater core in

Sadly this CJ8 has been quite neglected over the last 6-8 months. Made a little bit of progress in the last month or so. Finally pulled the heater box because the heater core was leaking. I had initially just looped the water lines and by passed the heater core during the frame/motor swap...

updates long overdue and I'll type much longer update in front of computer. But, we are back on track. took advantage of speedhut guages labor sale and rcvd them this week. the frame, motor trans everything is swapped, we have been driving it in and out of shop for quite a while. First...

donaghys are registered... will see if it happens !

From all appearances, I may have to eliminate the mechanical fan because of space issues and the LJ radiator is toast anyways. So, open to any reommendations of CJ radiator with integrated electric fan upgrades?

No worries folks.. the CJ grill is going back on ...
