Re: Jeep Make Over > The beginning......
One step closer to Rausch.......
Swapped out the entire dash and wiring harness. Found out I had needed to"modify " the dash plate to make the newer 92 instrument clusters fit correctly Got everything all swapped over and mounted and noticed the brake light connection at the pedal was different so had to swap out the entire pedal assembly as well
Got all the new brake lines run a, gas tank & skid mounted and changed the oil along with cap rotor and plugs as well.
Just when I thought I was in the clear I noted the mounting holes for the clutch master Cyl were different. .A few more holes and a little touch-up with the dremmel and ready to mount the tub when I noticed the rear wiring harness assy was also different as well Swapped that out and finally got the new tub on the frame
Finally noticeable progress.
I had hoped to turn the key and fire the Heap up but darkes began to settle in....it was just not to be......
If all goes well I'll get the front clip installed, mount my rocker guards and front roll cage extensions this comming Fri/Sat(traveling this week ) and take her out for shake down cruise late Sat or early Sunday

Re: Jeep Make Over > The beginning......
I've got an intake out of a 99/00 XJ... I think the fuel rail is still on it, with all the injectors. Not sure if you can use that one, but we can make a deal if you need it.

Sorry Jon, yours won't work for Dave. '96 up has the pressure regulator in the fuel tank. '95 and earlier has the regulator on the fuel rail.nostaw wrote:I've got an intake out of a 99/00 XJ...
