I bought this jimmy for $300 and it was in rough shape as far as electrical and front end noise, so i started with the noise, needed new cv shaft on passenger side, no change in noise, so drove it about 60 miles after new cv and it got ALOT worse, got a good deal on a parts jimmy with no rear gears or driveshaft, so i stripped it down and took any good part id thought id ever need only difference between the two is mine has a sunroof and smaller over head console.. So put mine on lift and seen it needed both wheel bearings, new cv for drivers side new upper lower ball joints, the axle itself made some noise so we swapped that too, all new everything in front end, now on to electrical 4wd switch has short and wold pop the fuse all the time and it went to temp and gas gauge also, replace the fuse and it lights up occasionally and 4wd never worked so stole the one out parts jimmy and stays. Lit up like its soppossed to be but stiff no 4wd so thinking vacuum line somewhere during the front end work so will tackle that again soon, but i also have nothing for dome lights or over head console or sunroof, my first one with a sunroof so idk how common this issue is, not sure where to start the tracking.

During front end swap

As u can see the wheel bearing was not happy

I think that's the worse I've seen.
