[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 433889, member: 18789"] Update on this. My factory dash harness that I’ve been customizing for a while has been put on hold. And by customizing, I mean creating a bunch of circuits and relays for my switch panel powered off of unused stock wires that I repurposed. The stock harness with fog light function I bought off eBay came today and is almost pristine. Super impressive for the age. I need to do two things to it which is setup the heater bulb for LED (dimmed with a resistor) and I need to wire in the extended 4-5 wires for my stereo in the Tuffy console. Those are in progress. After that I’m going to install into the Jeep and get this thing on the road in stock form. I’ve decided that I will save all the customizing for when I do a custom dash and do it all at once. That’s when I’ll really need to do a bunch of wiring work, so I will do that all at once. Plus, I can drive on this harness while I prep the original for the custom dash later. So with that said, I need to bleed the brakes, clean up some under hood wiring, install dash harness, clean up interior and finish the carpet, and I’m basically good to go. [/QUOTE]
