I could have it driving today if I wanted to. I have the dash wired up, I am working on taking it apart and painting the rusty metal frame on it now that I have no rush. I'm also planning to refresh the 8274 too. I'll go on record and say that I would have been ready.

Rebuilt the shifter and got the console in with the additional cover needed for an old style shifter in a newer model tub. Filled the motor with amsoil and the trans with mt90

1 AM burning the midnight oil i see...

Yeah, ended up having a few honey dos to do sunday while no we dont have Ava but I did get to start the jeep. It Runs! and I used the FSM from 1997 and 2004 to see which color wires to use in the big loom that leads to the back of the jeep. On my 1997 TJ the rear wire loom has 8 wires with a plug where it meets the main harness, but on the 04 it has 22 and just splices into part of the under dash harness.

I also found that somehow I have 3 brake boosters in my garage, and I'm unsure which one came off my jeep. All three of them are from a jeep and bolt up. They are all 3 different sizes. Anyone know what the difference is?

 

[matth_85]

I'm sure the bore is about the only difference. I'd assume the LJ has a larger bore?

Part numbers were the same between 1997 TJ and 2004 LJ when I looked and ordered my replacement parts.

thats weird, I wonder if they are different for rear drums vs rear disk brakes? does the size of the booster mean anything? I need to do some research.

The volume of vacuum it can hold i believe

My LJ has an external proportioning valve, so may be the same master cylinder. I was looking at booster part numbers.

yeah, on all 3 of them the thickness of the big cylinder is different.

Finished wiring the lights and trailer brakes 7 pin connector. Ran the new ARB line and started on wiring it.
Chased my tail for a few hours looking for a missing ground, come to find out it was a failed brake light switch from the tub swap. I was able to swap the one from the LJ tub in and it worked fine.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

I just want to drive this thing! I did back it out and pull it back in the garage today.

Updated the list of To Dos also.
