Anyone know how to get the ABS sensor out? Do I really have to undo the whole wire and run it through the backing plate?
This is why I love my old vehicles xD Haven't had ABS since I've been driving. Less electrical and more mechanical, I can handle that

Also removed all the bolts from the steering box and got ready to install the JCR Steering box spacer, here's a picture compared to the stock spacer.

Just ran down to Napa and they were able to order them. Forgot the part number, but I bet your local auto parts store can get them, they are generic to most Chrysler products.

adapter plate for the renix tb, use the renix dizzy, use the renix flywheel. the only way it can be done without swapping harnesses and pc, isnt it?

Theres no way for the ho intake sensors to work with the renix computer. If there is, enlighten me plz!

need to adapt the tb, use the renix flywheel, swap over dizzy, temp sensor and knock sensor, change to h.o. fuel lines they are different ( i did from the gas tank to the intake), also the down pipe for the exhaust and throttle cable. and swap all the accessories belt drive stuff too. that all i can remember. some of the intake sensors Odgreen89on35 is helping out as it's all the parts he collected to do his before he traded for his tj, but if it like any other newer engine swap in to an older rig without full harness swap you would use all the sensors and vacuum ports from the older engine on the new one. i know there will be couple thing that need to be worked out, but it ain't hot rodding if you don't lol

Had a stud welded onto my broken seat. If it warms up I will see about putting it back in.

The sensor should unbolt from the backing plate and unplug from the abs control module thats under the back seat on the drivers side. You do have to pull the entire cable thru the floor grommet if I remember right. Also if you stretch the grommet out you can fit the plug thru it.

Finally got my bumper. Only had about 5 minutes before work to mock it up. Tomorrow I'll finish mounting and get the bars angled and cut. Then mount the winch.
