I put some green LEDs in the sound pod domes and under the dash.
Installed the savvy transfer case cable and put the front drive shaft in. With new you joints. New exhaust pipes and o2 sensors. And poured 2 quarts of very warm 10w30 through the transmission just to help get all the crud out.
Tomorrow is fill the tranny with good fluid... MT-90 and reinstall the skid. Hopefully I can get it done tomorrow. Im missing prime driving season.

I thought about it, but I put cool white LEDs in the instrument cluster, HVAC controls and switches a couple years ago and really like them. Crisp, clean and easy to see.
Blower quit working about 2 months ago. I had already replaced the speed switch when I bought it, since it didn't work on high, or something like that. Lol, I've fixed so much stuff on this thing that I've forgotten some of what I'd done. Anyway, I knew it wasn't the speed switch, so had to be something else. Found the mode switch connector melted. Decided to blitz the whole system and replace the motor, resistor, mode selector, pigtail for the electrical portion of the mode switch, and put relays in each speed of the fan speed and also a cutout for the whole fan circuit. I want to be able to select dash or floor, etc., without powering up the fan. I don't like the fact that the fan has to be on, when anything other than "off" is selected. I've been driving around for the last month with wires and switches hanging out of the dash in a bandaid fashion. Finally jumped on it this morning and got it done.
What was holding me up, was a good place to put 4 relays. Found a perfect spot above the glove box and below the airbag. Mounted them to the dash frame. Easy to get to if there is a problem.
Totally not visible from glove box opening.
All wired up now, nice and neat.
Ebay "ON" switch for the circuit cutout. Since the factory hvac switches are now low miliamp triggers, I can use the less than robust ebay switch to interrupt the signal from the mode switch to the fan speed switch, and use the panel or floor position as a vent and not have the blower running. Save some wear and tear on the whole system that way.
Oh, forgot, but I put a marine-grade 12v power point in place of the broken factory cigarette lighter socket.

Yep. Seen that done. Don't need it yet. If I decide to put some lights on the new front bumper, I'll have to add another switch pod. But the light switch that is already there isn't running anything, so I can put one set of lights on without having to do anything else.

Today I checked my locker pumps found the front disconnected from power and the rear will require diff cover removal as I'm getting pressure to the diff on the hose but pump keeps running ...hopefully hose is off on the inside will find out next weekend when I change the fluid being about 500 miles after rebuild
