Instrument cluster came in today. Drum roll please....it RUNS! YAY!! So basically this what happened. The instrument cluster shorted which shorted the PDU (fuse box). Us trying to start it caused the jeep to think it was being stolen which shutdown the ECM and RF Hub. Me trying a used BCM caused the BCM issue. Snowball of misfortune. :)
I should be able to get my JKU cage finished up next week, hopefully. My wife will start buttoning up the mess we made on the JL to get it back together again while I work on my cage. All that's left is a skidplate and take it to a exhaust shop to run a tailpipe after that and she'll be done! Stay tuned for the big reveal here soon with a full walkaround video on social media. If you want to follow me, I'm @rokcrwl on Instagram.

This build is NUTS! There’s some really nice fab work going on there.

And you’re local to me- I’m def gonna keep my eyes peeled!
