Just looked at her through the window of my classroom. Thinking of the things I wanna do to it after school. And wondering how my set of seat covers would fit it.

Had a couple of things to do today. I planned on swapping out gauge clusters with one I nabbed from the JY (putting the white face gauges on it) and also swapping the heater switch as my other one busted the other day.

Got everything apart (dash bezel and everything) Took out my heater unit to find out that the wiring harness to the switch had actually melted to the connections meaning that I will have to do some more electrical work to it than I thought

Went to put the white faces on and got all the accesories on, went to put the one on the tach and speedo and low and behold they don't fit. So I'll have to go through the seller on that one...

Also went to put everything back in for the time being and found out that my tilt no longer works... It tilted down for me to do the project, but it won't go back up now...

I think it is fair to say that today is a bad day for working on the Jeep...

Found out my gauge goes way way way past E. Apparently I still had 2.5ish gallons left.

Before and after.

What size gas tank do you have? 20 gallon would still have quite a bit of full left in it.
