Do you have links for the ones you used? Did you buy a wiring harness or wire it yourself?
the for the fuse box i got a 21 circut universal fuse box from painless performance.i made the rest of the wires myself, having already done the motor it was really just lights and a few other random things. i pulled a whole birdsnest of unused wires out from under the dash, there is probably half as many wires under there now as there were originaly.

Should be quite the challenge for me. Once I begin I'll start a build thread also. Depending on how my finished product is will determine how much farther I'll take it. I'm leaning towards a diesel swap. Should be fun.
Donor vehicles are a 79 j10 and an 88 wagoneer.
Please do post a build thread when you start. i love to see how others create things and solve problems.

I'll probably throw a fit and light it on fire. Problem solved
i know i havent updated this in some time. the truck has been running great as always. i have almost 10,000 miles on the engine swap. i am going to retrofit my fuel cell with an intank pump.
No I’m not dead. Just been really busy with life. Started working on the truck again this last winter. Let’s just say it’s a lot shinier now, unveiling Ouray 2022!
Dang!
I just read your whole thread in like twenty minutes and holy crap! That thing is sooo awesome! I am so impressed with your fabrication and metal work. This is such an intense but cool build, I applaud you for not giving up and keeping at it. Subscribed for any more updates and customizations you do to the truck (although, I don’t know what else you could even do to it because you’ve basically done everything).
