Go inside where the jack lives and unbolt them.
Perfect thank you
I finished the oil pan reseal, and wow was that a bunch of fun. In the process, I now have no kidding, six extra bolts and four extra nuts. Some of them are factory new ones that workers dropped in the frame and they evidently fell out as I removed things.
I mounted the cheap Chinese snorkel and engaged in a bit of whimsy for my daughters.

Started on the roof rack. Ran out of wire for the mig welder. Gonna try and finish mounts this week.
Went exploring around Low, QC.
Thought it looked strange that the trees across the river looked like they were in the fall colour, but it was only the sun setting, but it had been cloudy just till then.

I had a productive afternoon.
Got my console lock finished: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/locking-stock-center-console-mod-idea.826665/#post-9771718
Installed a new rear cargo area light similar to this: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rear-cargo-light-install-erg80-style.518809/page-3#post-7861143 My '93 does have the existing wiring; for anyone who hasn't done this yet, I suspect that 91-94 do have the wiring in the rear driver-side pillar and 95-97 don't and will need to pull wire from the center dome light.
Replaced my moon roof switch which would open but not close my moon roof, works now. Yay! Got a used switch from a MUD member and switched it out. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/moon-roof-issues.858036/
Installed my second (passenger side) yodaTEQ antenna mount that has been sitting on my desk for the last few months.

Where would the wiring be in my '91? You mention the driver side pillar, but it is tucked up in there? How would I access it? I've been wanting a light in the rear area for a while, but haven't taken the time to run power to the back...this would solve my problem!
Any details would help.
Thanks,
Got the engine service all done. Cap, rotor, plugs, wires, filters, pcv. Got all the flares pulled for cleanup and paint. Had a broken one since I bought it, soon to be replaced. new leds inside, good day! Runs great and I can see!
Can't believe I forgot to post...couple weekends ago got to use my jumper cables!! On my brother's Expedition! It's the small things that make me

There is a thread on this. Can't remember it right now. Just ordered another dome light to do it.
The first picture in the post I linked to is a picture of them (it is sideways). To get to them had to pull down the rear of the headliner (2 seals basically) and they were tucked in right at the top of the pillar. The wire for this was just tied to the others there in that bundle and tucked in a little, easy to find.
Here is another thread that talks about this: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rear-cargo-light-install.43073/
I forgot to say I also installed my Wit's End APU-2 console organizer in my upper console. No pictures but he has some good ones here: http://absolute-wits-end.com/accessory-panel-unit-5x8-5/ I did the same thing that @TahoeLX450 did and took the top of the console apart before drilling pilot holes, threading the snap screws, and then cutting the tips off the snap screws before reinstalling them to make sure nothing poked through into the leather. I don't think it was necessary but I wanted to be very conservative and it didn't take much extra time at all. There isn't much padding on mine so this was just a way to make sure.
I also installed the Wit's End console liners which look great and fit better than the beat up (OEM?) liners that were in there.
