'86 Jimmy 4in Lift, 40’s, tons, 8.1 Swap- 700r4 said PNNNNN
- Thread starter GWeakland620
- Start date
This is not a dedicated trail rig, but does trailer to the destination usually. I am currently in the planning phase of doing a 52/56" spring swap, and getting back to being more road worthy.
They are extremely comfortable.
The back tilts forward, then they slide. Pretty similar to a 90's IFS Blazer. The added arm rests are really nice too.
Glad they made it down okay!
Wiring harness came in from classic industries today. This should fix a lot of the rats nest that’s going on. Plus this should clean it up and make it look better. And having a new engine bay harness helps when splicing the 8.1 harness.
Oh, and it comes with new wiring for the fuel gauge, so that’s awesome!

Spent a couple hours in the garage this morning before the family got up and around. Pulled the old harness disaster and fixed/removed a wire nut in the headlight wiring harness. I don’t know how this old wiring was even working with all the splices in crap in it.
Ran the new harness and plugged in the only currently used plug, and ran the new starter wire.
I wish I would have thought about a new harness years ago, as this looks so much better and gives me a lot more hope for future electrical upgrades.
This area used to give me diarrhea, but now it looks clean and presentable. Lol

A nice before and after picture for reference.
That looks fantastic Greg! Much much better than before
I may have missed it but where did you find the new harness
Classic industries. So worth it.
Glad to know the older harness fits just fine.
Yep, perfect fit. Even down to the loom retainer clips on the firewall. No more guess work with the wiring.
That's a lot of gold right there. Good score.
No rubber isolators though. Ron's slipping.He even got the factory hose clamp!
They are under the brackets. All 4 of them. And all the bolts too!No rubber isolators though. Ron's slipping.

I shouldn't have doubted him. He's top notch!
That a diesel shroud?
Yep, works perfect for the 8.1 swaps.
