Instead, I put the stock connector back onto it. I wish i could of had done it where i utilized the switch base so it would snap in but my spare switches still work and I did not want to sacrifice one. I may come back and recrimp sleeved connectors.

I wanted to splice the harness in like this but did not have sleeved connectors and was too inpatient to wait to get some.

I bent back the tabs on the OEM female spade connectors and reinserted them back into the plastic connector. I loomed everything together with friction tape, just like how it would have came from the factory.

On the left is the OEM erminals from a spare washer/wiper switch I had. On the right is the male terminals I crimped on. All wire is color matched and correct gauge.

This is the a-pillar trim with the new holes cut out. I took measurements and made a template off of another grab handle. These holes are actually smaller than the factory holes and they barely let the handle slip through.

First off, sorry if some of the information is wrong. I did this mod a while ago. So, from the factory there are already holes in the interior of the body, however, they are not exactly made for the grab handle. They are spaced roughly the proper amount. I used rivnuts to attach the handle.

Plastic A-pillar trim cut out. Measurements were taken from another grab handle. These holes are smaller; they are actually just large enough for the base of the grab handle to slip through.

Unfortunately, I do not a photo before I nstalled the rivnuts. However, how it what the base will look like when done. For the size rivnuts I used, I had to drill the existing holes for them to fit. Yes, there were existing hole here, almost like Chrysler was going to put one here but halfway through changed their minds. Unfortunately, they did not leave provisions to simply mount it.

Everything is back together! Notice the new CCV fitting and new 1/2 inch hose for it. The airbox end is larger than the valve cover one so i has to pursuade it wil some engine oil.

Then I'll wrap the base 2-3 times just hold the end of the loom down. I tend to be a perfectionist and absolutely hate seeing wires at the ends. I may go back and do this trick in a few other places in the engine bay as i just picked up this technique.

This breaker is from amazon. It's mounted on velcro for now as i will be installing a second battery for all of my accessories, and will mount it differently then.
