After some fighting with fitment and stabbing myself with the needle a few times, I was done. I went with a leather sew on steering wheel wrap with red stitching. I have since tucked the cover behind the cruise control switches.

Time to address the worn out steering wheel. Now i've always been partial to the leather wrap covers as apposed to the slip-on style.

Jeep never had the stock electric fan when I bought it, apparently the previous owner had issues with it not turning on so he removed it and tossed it. For the time being I went with a cheaper eBay fan for $26 bucks. Wired it in to the stock harness, utilizing the stock relay and fuse. After all that it still would not turn on, found out the fuse was blown 40 amp MAX fuse. Probably the whole reason it wouldn't turn on in the first place.

Installed - My welding skills leave much to be desired, I know. The muffler clamp has since been removed and the muffler has been fully welded by my cousin - a professional welder. Kinda hard to see, but I opted to not have the tailpipe exit out the back like stock. Rather I went with a straight turn down pipe right ahead of the axle. - More rear departure clearance.

New pump - courtesy of O'reilly Auto Parts Decided to give it a paint job, not the easiest thing to do in 30 degree weather inside a 1 car garage.

Shortly after I got Dat Jeep on the road, I noticed a squealing coming from the engine. Found out it was the water pump, was able to drive it home from work - approx. 12 miles. I shut it off and got out to hear coolant dripping from the pump.

Of course had to ditch the stock stereo, in favor of an aftermarket JVC unit.
