OP
Time to move on to my next project and build a go-fast vehicle. I enjoy turning wrenches more than I do off-roading, so there is bound to be someone else out there that this Jeep would serve better.
Can’t share the reserve price until the auction is over per the BaT rules. However, with what I paid for the Jeep 4 years ago plus parts for the swap/etc, I’m a little over $20k into it all. That number is not the reserve price, so you’ll have to use your imagination.

I understand the enjoyment of turning wrenches. Best of luck with the sale.
I'll be watching. Thanks for posting here because I missed it on BaT. I have a price I will be hopping for considering it does not have A/C.
OP
I will keep my fingers crossed that you do well. I have to save type of Jeep and it is the greatest. I have gotten more tickets in it then my Corvette.
I saw your comment on BAT about the AC, did you do a writeup at all on that? Are you using the Jeep computer at all for the AC?
OP
I don’t think I did a write up, but I’ve got it all in my head. I could do a write up…it’s super straight forward. The Jeep computer doesn’t control it at all, you just have to intercept the ground that the control switch sends when on any of the AC selections. I’ll write it up…gimme a bit.
Appreciate it. I've already sold my jeep computer since I'm going to a digital dash and figured I'd eventually sort it all out once I get the jeep running. But, with you moving on and knowing the answers I figure now is a good time to get a game plan on mine. Thanks
OP
Make sure you keep your low pressure AC line (that runs on the fender). You’ll have to come up with a different solution for your accumulator as well…I had custom lines made outside of that OEM low pressure line…because the stock accumulator will be in the way of the passenger side valve cover.
Regarding the PCM. ECM or computer I was able to through may Mopar unit away after I replaced the dash with an electronic unit.
