came out ok but i used the flat black and it looks faded. ill probably have to redo it with gloss or satin so it matches the carpet in the back.
i also figured out the park neutral switch FINALLY!!!! seems like the switch was in the wrong position so thats why the back up lights didnt come on or starter engage. i traced the wiring and figured out that the ground on the starter relay isnt any good. so i will have to run another ground so it will work. only issue is that the gear indicator doesnt work. any ideas guys??

hopefully these things dont leak. i took off all the wiring so i couldnt fire it up..gotta figure out how to get the transmission to align on the crossmember its a PITA with only one jack. damn adjustable mounts!
I have a few questions about your harness. Im working on my old harness right now and cant find exactly where the 4x4 harness ties into the engine harness...it seems as its basically a "standalone" harness. I need to put the 4x4 harness in with my nelson harness. If you have any tips lemme know!
