Full Size Jeep Network

is there any update for this build?

Fair question, so the answer is yes. Weather here has been pretty good and I've been able to move through a bunch of things on the list and complete many of the items that were most of the way done. I will run through them below. I can see the finish line now and this truck will be mostly done and ready for it's shakedown runs. First up, both fuel tanks are now fully plumbed and a Pollack switch has been installed to move between them. I used a DPDT toggle switch and a bezel from the early broncos to complete the install. The sender for the oem tank is wired to the cluster and the aux tank has a separate gauge in the pod. (Jeep vs GM, different resistance). The aux tank is set up for an in tank pump if I decide to go with FI down the road.

You can also see the various aux lighting switches in the pic above. Marchals, 2 sets of KCs and rear work lights. The light bar was fabbed out of 2 wiped 360 camshafts and a fistful of quicktabs. It is removable with 2 hood pins and a trailer plug for the harness, in case overall height becomes an issue in certain situations.

Went ahead and installed the console. It's an inexpensive rampage CJ unit I dyed to match the other nutmeg interior pieces. Inside is a small inverter. It does add a good amount of interior storage and 4 cup holders plus it's an armrest.

Lastly, the cluster finally got installed. This was a big one. I really took a lot of time to be gentle and not force anything. Here it is installed and hooked up.

The next few weekends will hopefully be constructive with a few other big items ready to go on. Last real big job is fitting the new door panels and making the power mirrors work right. Thanks for reading and following along.

I really dig the lightbar built out of those camshafts! Very cool and different. Dash looks really clean and that Cool---Warm decal below the lever really pops.

Thanks Twisted! I have to say you have been with this thread from the start and I appreciate it. Now for the payoff!

So finally got the tires and wheels mounted and balanced and on a cloudy Saturday afternoon, Sam, his son Tristan and I mounted them all up and went out for a spin.

The next couple of weekends were spent carefully apply the rest of the decal set. Slow and methodical, 1 panel at a time. Really did not want to screw this up. Pleased with the results, I hope you agree.

A few things left on the interior, some exterior bolt ons, some bed accessories left to do. At this point I'm starting to do shakedown runs and making fixes and adjustments as issues arise. Nothing major so far.

enjoy

That looks awesome!
