You'll have to figureout all the wiring to splice to the old gauges. I went to mech cause it was easier...plus i'm lazy..And use the old sending units for the old gauges.
Get the whole thing. the ecu and wiring harness need to match(kinda) in years. where you located. I can get a running 95' w/harness/ecu for 200.00. why not look for a low mile total and get everything for under 1G.
You can fab any seat to fit. The big problem is the height. You'll find your sitting to tall. Unless you fab a new mount to the floor then it doesnt matter what seats you get.
my .02...v8 cj7 or 91-95 yj w/ 4.0L.. upgrades are cheap and will hold together as DD. AS far as a rubicon. You can built either just as good or better for 1/2 the price. Plus you'll still be paying for the thing that is beat to crap. Besides real jeeps are BUILT not BOUGHT.
Get the ENTIRE harness. Replace the body and engine harness's. Will cost more now but save time and headaches later plus everything will work like stock. Gauges will be a issue though.
yep, use a hair dryer or better yet a heat gun. workd everytime on stock or the last ones i did where bushwackers. lasts longer then all the crappy armor all stuff on the market. cheaper too. lucky for me i dont need to do that anymore :)
just a few inches of rain. takes alot to get over the coast range. We did get about 4 feet of fresh snow above 2500' last week. made for some kickbutt wheeln.
Not sure, check out pnw4wda.org or search elbe hills (orv/ or 4x4) There are alot of forums around here. most are divided between seattle area and portland area.
