I have no idea to be honest, the Jeep is getting a hemi, and I ordered the in-tank pump assembly at bj’s Offroad, this is how it came. You are giving me some food for thought though. The tank is clean so why would I put two filters in one line. Hmm, I might change that back to only the regulator/filterYeller wrote:Awesome Mile Stone for sure!
Question about the dual fuel filters. I use those regulators all the time and they are a filter as well. is there a reason for the filter before it? They were not done that way from the factory installation. Nothing wrong with it, just curious.
I had similar experience when test fitting the front doors. I only have two doors and that was enough work and they definitely weren't exact. Interesting that you had shims behind the hinge plates. I didn't. I also bagged and tagged everything. The hinge pins on mine are a little warn so replacing those. I hope that gets me closer and takes a bit of sag out. May have to make some shims for behind hinges to get it closer. Definitely a two person job!wimsurf wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 9:28 am Nothing major worth taking photos of, and I completely forgot to take them.
My dad came over last Friday to help me mount the doors and the tailgate. Glad these are in, incredible how many shim plates Jeep used allover the place and how much they differ from side to side.
door left front: no shims
door right front: 2 behind the hinge plates and 1 behind the lock catch
door left rear: 2 shims top hinge, 1 shim bottom hinge, 4 behind the lock catch
door left rear: no shims behind hinges, but 4(!) behind the lock catch plate.
Amazing to see how much adjustment is needed to get them to line up properly. I bagged and tagged all the hinges and bolts, but when I took the Jeep apart the rear doors did not align properly either so that is going to be major work
The gaps between the body and the doors are not perfect, and never will be, but I'll be adjustinng with shims behind the hinges to make it align better. I'll make pictures next couple of weeks to show the difference.
that will be a bit of an obstructed view indeed.
And you are lucky with only two doorsLaredo Matt wrote:Great job, doors look awesome and no paint dings...well done!
I'll be watching for your detailed / updated pictures of the process. I'm going to be hanging mine over the coming weeks. First is to get them all built back up now that i have all parts back (window glass channels etc.) from powder coat and new seals etc. First, have to replace the hinge pins. Started working on that today but like everything, they are not being nice
I suspect, based on m pre-0paint test fit, I'm going to have similar challenges as you getting them just right.

The image has the original AC because I plan to only keep the original ducting of that and epoxy it so it will work as a bottom outlet for the vintage air unit. one thing that needs fixing is that also this unit is not symmetrical (the center vents are off center )Laredo Matt wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 8:15 am I like the new gauge layout you proposed. When I filled in the opening for ashtray I measured it and the clock. Its just the right size for a set of vintage air ducts/vents. With your fancy photoshopping I now know exactly how it will look when complete. The image still looks to have factory AC or is that a siimline under dash unit from Vintage air you mocked in?
