2014 MJ (code name Abby)

Great solution to the hard-to-find MJ tail lights. Very clever.

Agreed. I hope I get to see this thing in person when its all done.
 
Ugh, body work, maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if someone knew how to do it right the first time, I'm finding bondo over rust and glossy paint...

Got a lot done today...

-wired the HMSL/cargo light (made a jumper using the XJ tailgate harness and the tail of the donor HMSL, very clean. I wired the Cargo lights to the defroster button, also in the same harness, which illuminates on the dash as well as time delay, auto off)

-Final install of the windshield from the donor XJ, which also happens to be an original Chrysler glass

-Reinstalled the Rear slider

-Installed the rear speakers and wiring from the donor XJ, tested the factory radio

-cut and Installed the donor XJ carpet

-Painted and started to install the rear cab cargo trim (paint match to factory agate)

-Wired the lights for the "b" pillars into the overhead XJ lights/RKE Harness

and started to install the misc dash trim

Finished the interior trim today, its all back together...

The back board had a preexisting hole in the center of it so I used the Harness out of the XJ sound bar which has a light, wired the speakers up and put the light in the back board.
