[QUOTE="e4cutler, post: 506305, member: 10702"] I bought my "ready to wheel" Jeep (first one ever) a few months back and been working on it ever since, which isn't a bid deal since I've enjoyed doing most of it and I've learned a lot. With some help from friends, we were able to get it fixed up enough so I could go ride Memorial Day Weekend and that was a blast. It was my first time to go wheeling and I'm pretty sure I'm hooked! thumb.gif Well 1 thing that keeps driving me crazy is the wiring in this thing and how jacked up it is. I've found several wires that don't go anywhere, splices made by twisting the wires together and wrapping them in tape, wire that changes colors several times in a single run, etc... There's probably a dozen or so wires that connect directly to the battery, but to be fair a couple of these were from us trying to get it finished for MDW.
