Lots of wiring today almost got the dash in.

That’s better 😎

Very nice. That’s such a huge difference to have in and done

Yep , getting the dash in is a nice chunk of the puzzle.

Your fender flares look really really nice! What type of speedo is that? Is there a digital readout in the middle? Cool project excellent work

I see you took the "fun" part of the column apart

Thanks, Speedo is from speed hut.

Should have mentioned this before, notice the bearing on the end of the steering column. Super nice stuff, and an awesome upgrade. Wolff Engineering

I need to look into that, the lower bearing on my red Scramblers column is a bit loose in the housing, i.e. the plastic bearing retainer to column fit. I was going to put a hose clamp around it to tighten it up, this looks better

Yes you do, especially with all the driving you do across the country!
Hose clamp, hmm really...

I was going to use a stainless hose clamp

Thanks for posting that. I'm going to look into that bearing as well. I bought a new one last year (I think crown) and it was just as loose as my worn out one.

Column is in, steering shaft on. And started plumbing the power steering, hydro boost system

Don't really need that evap canister any longer, eh?

 

[Jeeperdd]

I’m going to use it to vent the fuel tank

I'd have to check a little more, but I'm not sure its design is compatible with the way the 5.3 vents? Unless you've figured out a way?

CJ and YJ canisters have the purge line to the engine, but it's controlled by a vacuum signal. With 5.3s the signal is from the computer so by default you'd have to have a way to keep the canister open?
