Way to bring a dying Jeep back to functionality! Would love to have a little MJ as a secondary vehicle. Sub'd and ready to hear more
yeah he really did a good job. The cancer over here really kills vehicles. My F150 recently had it bad, and it rotted the frame cross members. I sold it with the new owner knowing they were gone. he is a body man so he got it all fixed up and got a great truck out of it. It would have cost me thousands where it cost him some time.

Thanks for the comments.
I have a small update, no trip pictures .
New tank assembly from RockAuto came in, with new pump, straps and other fittings. Haven't installed the tank yet, jeep is parked for other reasons.
Power steering pressure hose sprang a leak or 2 in the metal hose right at the steering box, waiting on a new hose to come in. Old hose came off without much hassle.
Ordered some 12volt meters to keep an eye on the camping batteries
Also came across someone scrapping a 2003 Dodge Dakota single cab, hauled the seats out of it. Currently have the bench and I need the third seat, so these Dakota seats should work nicely. Cleaned up good but I broke the driver side recline lever taking them out .
Test fit the driver side in, should be a good fit and an improvement. Pictures aren't the best.

Since I swapped in the TJ Transmisison I haven't had back up lights. First thing I did was check the fuses, start small ha. Will it seems nothing is ever small, the fuses weren't the issue with the lights but there is another possible problem.
This fuse pulled apart taking it out of the fuse block, another fuse the plastic just crumbled as I was taking it out. Looks like I will be pulling the fuses and cleaning this block before the clutch fluid completely destroys it and I have bigger issues. Hopefully not too late.
Still don't have backup lights , checked the bulbs, all tested good, the back up lights were actually the best bulbs off the bunch. Others were all corroded so I replaced them all.
Not fuses or bulbs, so I by passed the transmission switch and the bulbs lit up. So looks like the TJ trans has a bad switch, I think I will run a toggle in the cab until I replace the switch.
