Taking it apart was easy and I only needed help removing the tub. During the dis- assembly I painstakingly labeled every electrical connection and made notes along the way. The original wiring was functional, but it needs to be replaced. Years of splicing new and old connections along with adding and removing components made for an interesting birds nest under the dash. My plan is to purchase a 12 circuit fuse box and add my own wire. These old Jeeps do not have a complicated wiring system.
Also on my laundry list of things to do: replace old rusted exhaust system ( and re-route them towards the back, even though I will miss inhaling those lovely toxins), clean and paint engine, clean and paint tranny/transfer case, paint frame, disc brake conversion on front axle and 11" drum conversion on rear. I will also add a locker to the rear diff. How about a new and improved 2 chamber master cylinder as well. To begin, I will start on the front of the frame and replace the front bumper with my own creation.
More posts to come...I already built the front and rear bumper
