Trying to make sense of all this mess!

Having to pull two separate harnesses (main and TBI) keeping it clean and concealed is time consuming

That shit sucks. Good luck.

That looks so fun. Since I’m sure it is, when you finish yours you can come retire my DJ.

The only good thing is painless’s instructions are great. They show you the path each wire should take. Just go slow and it’ll come together one connection at a time.

Howell’s instructions are a bit lacking to say the least. But I think I have it figured out

Air conditioning in my garage really helps!
Your DJ would be a piece of cake after what you did with the engine swap on the the JK

Congrats on getting it home! Hopefully you can finish it up soon! I’ve been seeing a nice Scrambler at my work lately, made me think of your project.

 

[wjtstudios]

Thank you, still have a ways to go, but she’s home!

I do not envy that task. Looks like you've got it under control tho.

Making progress, one wire at a time

I think your DJ is already retired...

Very cool, probably nice to be able to just walk into the garage and do a little here and there

Yeah, that’s about all I can do right now, a hour here and there.

The missing piece to wrap up the dash side of the harness came, finally.

Windshield washers, nice!

Windshield washers, nice!

For the life of me, I could find the original. And there’s no chance of getting that in there once I wrap up that harness.

Oh yeah, that is for sure!

These interior dome lights were tough to find.

It’s always the little pieces that are the hardest.

That’s what she said.
