Awesome Project - True Hard Work

[Atla]

What do you do in your free time now that your rig is pretty much done?

Drive it?

[Strode182]

Hi Atla,

I don't drive it as much as I intended. I hope we can take it on some camping trips this summer. I'll post pictures.

I do need another project, but have no funds for anything now...it's all in the Jeep.

Weren't you trying to sell it? Did you end up not having to?

[Strode182]

It was for sale, but I have not sold it.

I'd be out of the hole I dug myself if I sold it, but I don't want to let it go for 1/2 of what I put into it. I put more $$ into it than it's value, but I wasn't building it to sell it. And I wouldn't do anything different (or cheaper) on it.

Same old story of enthusiast's tunnel vision and the objects of their affection.

So, it's still mine and I'm happy. I do love driving it.

Glad to hear you can keep it. I thought it was a pretty much have to sell situation. Agreed on never getting the money out of it.

What's the little red light for?

[Loner]

You have done a amazing job on this Jeep!

Thanks, Loner.

Atla, that's one the LEDs for that light up when the alarm is armed. To discourage bad thoughts from bad people.

I think I've missed it in the build thread but maybe not. how are you running the wiring from inside the cab to the roof rack?

Thanks

I came up thru the B pillar with 5 wires. Forward lights, rear work lights, rear tail lights, brake lights, and ground. I drilled a hole in the roof, put in a grommet, and siliconed the snot out of it. Then there are 2 weatherpak plugs, one forward, one going back, just as it comes out of the roof.

I plan on changing it to a flush mount bulkhead fitting so I don't have a 4" tail sitting there when I take the rack off, but I can't find exactly like I'm looking for. I'll have to drop the headliner to install it.
