More news on the Jeep progress.
I made it home from work around 530pm. I changed my clothes and was off to work on the Jeep. I finished cutting out the old wiring harness, removed my tail-lights (I have two new ones coming via snail-mail), and fully installed the new wiring harness.
The whole process took between 5-6hrs. I was done by 1045pm (my back was sore from being hunched over for so long & I was super hungry).
The most difficult part of the install was connecting all the Douglas connections. The connectors on the new harness were a bit tight. I was forced to use to use pliers on most of the connections.
The only items not hooked up are: tail-lights (they haven't arrived), horn (fenders are not installed and it mounts on the fender), and blackout drive light (my M38A1 didn't come with one).
Attached is a pic of my "old parts tub" which now contains all wiring & brake bits/pieces which come standard on an M38A1.
