I may. I don't know, though. I haven't bought many 'new' things for the truck. That would be odd, esp since I am gonna cut them up anyway.

 

Found this thread after you said hi. And Wow. Id like to buy a welding machine so I can start working on my jeep like this. Its amazing how much work has been put into yours.

 

The amazing part to me is how much there is left to do!

Seriously, though, thanks for the compliment. Its fun most of the time.

If your close we could get together, hang out and shoot the crap, or turn wrenches or even go wheeling.

 

You wouldnt happen to know how I could replace the dashboard without taking out the entire windshield? When we were parting out the other one we took the Windshield off to do it because I couldnt figure out any other way.

 

Its not hard at all, until you get to the rivets, but that's not near the windshield.

I have 75% of my dash off right now. And it looks like ****.

 

I must have been doing something wrong then. I couldnt get to the screws that were near the defroster that easy.

 

Too bad your not closer. Honestly I did that part in my work's parking lot on a lunch hour.

 

That sucks Ill have to go dig out the dashboard that is sitting in the junk pile. Hopefully its still nice. lol Is the rewiring easy to do?

 

Alright, since these two have given me a hard time about my rough interior I decided it was next on the list of stuff to do.

I started by cleaning up the loose wiring. I have noticed quite a bit of wire that goes to nothing, leading me to believe that equipment had been installed and poorly removed.

Another thing I noticed was what appeared to be aftermarket wiring attached to factory switches. For example a heavy gauge wire attached to the rear wiper switch, but it wasn't run to the rear wiper.

Maybe someone made an attempt to rewire things, I am not sure.

It will all be cleaned up, though. Pics will follow.

 

Not difficult, not easy. Time consuming and tedious.

 

Well Ill have to start a project topic soon. (Maybe when I get home) I love your pictures. Ill probably be following a long with a lot of them. I kinda want a similar paintjob but in Dark Green and Gold stripes.

 

Worked on removing the dash on my lunch hour.

I labeled everything with a tag, hopefully that will help when it comes time to reassemble.

You can see some of the tags, and the heater controls, and tons of other crap.

Looks like a nightmare, but it's much simpler than I expected.

 

WEll sorry for getting you into that mess but it will be better in the end!

 

Hahaha, trust me, you didn't get me into that mess.

A few beers, my best friend, and some poorly thought out decisions brought that upon me.

And the fact that I have always wanted a sheetmetal dash helped.

 

So what tools did you have to use to get the bolts off the back mounting brackets and the screws by the defroster panel?
