Soon I hope. It won’t be done but if the test drive goes well I may drive it to the March club meeting.

I may have jinxed myself. I might not get the first test drive this weekend. For those that don’t know the catalyst that started this swap was due to a Christmas tree run incident when the battery came loose, contacted the hood and set the battery cables on fire. After that incident the 80 did not run consistently and the lights could not be turned on. Thought the issue was in the ecu as I could not find and obvious problems in the harness. Well I found something. While trying to finalize the Elocker wiring on the passenger side kick panel area I saw that some of the ground wires had gotten so hot the conduit melted off. I am now pulling the dash harness out to open up and repair what ever is needed. Updates coming.
You will get it figured out. This is going to be

Got the harness out and opened it up. My initial thought was the harness was done because some the wires were stuck to the ground that melted. Turns out it wasn’t too bad. Non of the other wires that the melted ground stick to were exposed. The covers were all good I just have to scrape the melted casing from the ground off.
The ground that caused the issue runs to the transfer-case circuit. Everything on the transfer-case side looks fine. The only part that melted was from the plug to the grounding point. I am planning to clean it up, and replace the ground then put it back together.
Hard to show in pictures but if you zoom in you can see the bare wire.

Going to teach myself how to tan a bison hide.
Looks like much work, but I think we know you’ll do a good job.

Thank you! A friend is helping me. This is an experiment. I can get more hides, trying to see if tanning them is worth my time.

Finished cleaning all the meat and fat off the hide. Luckily the guy that skinned it is pretty badass so there wasn't much to clean up. I also ran the vacuum over the hair side to get the grass out. Salted it again to finish drying. Tomorrow I will soak it to rehydrate and clean it. Tanning starts Monday.
The saga of getting an old style ARB bumper from a fellow MUD member in LA is over. Flew to LA and drove back this week with it in the back of my friend's taco. Have some hardware coming in soon; anyone have an angle grinder I can borrow?
