Sup Everyone! Here's the latest from my '05 Rubicon frame swap and restoration.
Quick backstory, cousin gave me the Rubicon after it had been sitting for about 3-4 years. The frame was completely rusted out and some sections were actually missing. Rear diff and axle had no splines, and the front diff had a hole it in the case and was full of dirt. In addition to that, the ball joints were also shot along with tie rods. The motor however was purring like a kitten.
Here's a vid of some of my adventures thus far from the frame swap. Still a lot of work to be done. Currently having an issue with a burnt fuse box and a meter that isn't lighting up and no start at the button. I think the ignition key isn't getting power. Looking to diagnose it tonight probably.
