So ordered a new A/C compressor w/clutch, drier and some other thing suggested while doing this repair. Will still have to figure out my wiring issue once I get the new compressor in. I'm able to send power to it but have to bypass the relay and it seems as though the feed from the ecm isn't grounded properly. Hoping it is a loose wire plugged into the back of the A/C unit in the dash. Also found Stu Olsen's site (what a fantastic site for tips on installs and mods) and did the mod to my flasher so the LED tail lights flash at normal speed now.

Only thing is now the list has gotten alot longer after reading through his site. I received the Dana Spicer ball joints today so will be tackling that soon I hope. Also I'm on the hunt for a 4.0L to replace my 2.5. It will just be an easier swap and I'll use alot of the same parts. The 35's will be as big as I'll go so a 4.0 will do fine.

Thanks, I only used the bed liner on the metal fender not the flares. I plan on leaving the flares stock looking so the whole jeep isn't one color. I would think the rustoleum bed liner would work well for the flares though. 


I've been busy as of late but did manage to get in alittle jeep work. Sanded the door and painted it, replaced inside door handle and resprayed the door interior with Duplicolor. Had painted the door interiors previously with Fusion and it looked to black and glossy. The dupli-color looks much better. Still waiting to have enough time to install ball joints, new radiator, Savy/currie steering setup etc.... 




Also had my hoist from Harbor Freight show up so I can make a lift for the hardtop.

So it's been slow going with work to the Jeep. But I did install the electric hoist so I can run the Jeep without any top for the first time. A few things to do yet but very happy with the hoist.
