- 1974 CJ5, 4.0L stroker from a 91 XJ,T-18 w/ granny gear, Dana 300 w/ Lomax 4:1 gears.
Custom power steering lines installed. They aren't routed in their final spots yet. I installed them so I wouldn't misplace them this summer when it is to hot to work in the garage. I also need tp install this alternator bracket.

First cool morning. In the 70's, hadn't planned on working on the Jeep today and it is my 15 year anniversary so I am not going to be doing anything. I cannot wait for consistent cool mornings and days. Want to get the jeep to run or at least start this season.
Need to do...
Reroute fuel lines
Install inline electric fuel pump
Hook up wiring harness to the the 4.0L
Wire ignition.
This is for starters.

Finally got some work done. Weather finally cooled off. Had to figure out to to mate up some pre-made fender flares and some one of kind rock sliders. Turned out well.

Everyone says rewiring a CJ is easy. I don't know where to start. I figure mounting the fuse block is the first step. I am posting a pic of my blank canvas. I am using Painless wiring kit.Where do I mount the fuse block? I don't want it to interfere with the pedal assembly and the emergency brake.
