    Meet Red, my 81 Restomod Build

    It was a smokin' hot deal. And we watched you do it right. New owner is most of the way there without any of the dirty work.

    Current Scrambler pics

    Those are nice covers over what I expect are tow bar brackets. I haven't seen those before.

    Well finally start building

    Yes, some full metal doors had wind wings. Just another place for the wind to whistle. Fixed ones make less noise.

    bigwalton's Postal Stroker

    Very cleaver. Others I've seen have just cut off the side of the door. Good thinking!

    Gas tank access looks great. Now how do you get into the glove box?

    Starting on a journey

    Lots of camping I expect. What do the letters on the map stand for?

    Sunny Delight - now Shelly 2.0

    Envious of your spray booth and stand for the tub. You do excellent work.

    The Elephant in the room - the new "Scrambler"

    Bell bottom pants were popular in the 1960s, and then they were out and back to straight leg ones. And then they came back again. I think Jeep was following the fad with the rectangular lights, and then the newness was gone, and back to round lights and straight leg pants again. As long as...

    PGA Charles Schwab Prize CA - Jeep Scrambler

    Color looks similar to the Ronald Reagan Scrambler.

    Hi-Ho “Silver” Build and Adventures

    Those covers were done right. And the installer did an excellent job, too.

    I've got it on its side. All glass is good. Fiberglass is in nice shape . . . one small chip on the hatch under the driver side handle. Rubber around the fixed side window has shrunk. I think the center handle mechanism got stiff and the outer two handles were added. If you are interested, $900...

    I've got two Acme full hardtops. I've been meaning to try to get a picture of the one in the storage bldg. It's black and in decent shape. It could use some fresh paint. It is unusual in the fact that it has 3 handles on the hatch. The gray one on my wife's Scrambler has two. Some only have...

    Steering wheel part # 10.283

    Keep in mind there are two different ones. One like in your parts diagram that fits the 3-hole per spoke wheel in the 70s, and the one that fits 80s CJs and YJs. The difference is in the openings that fit around the spokes. Openings in the early ones are wider to fit around the wider spokes.

    What's on your Work Bench?

    Yesterday I made a console pad in Slate Blue for someone who asked for it. I also finished up a Honey Laredo horn button for another request. Did Jeep ever make a Honey Laredo interior? I covered a Laredo wheel in Honey leather and so I made the horn button to match. This one I cast the allen...

    Which upper doors do I need?

    Looks beautiful! Sounds like the windshield needs to lean back farther to match the uppers. New cowl rubbers can be dense and hard to compress to allow the windshield to come back. YJ uppers will probably have the square back corners and the CJ tops should have the rounded back corners. Have...

    $25 7" H4 Headlight Upgrade Kit

    My headlights came today. Probably didn't cost much more than bulbs at the parts store. Very generous with the tie wraps, too. A few years ago I paid more for a relay and wiring kit to do this without bulbs. Members on here have passed on a lot of great deals available. Thanks to all of you.

    My '81 journey. . . so far.

    Sounds like you bought it without actually seeing it. Must have been a good price. Big plus on the steel body. You've really been working steady on it. Congradulations. Pictures?

    SJScrambler - Getting Started

    Probably wouldn't be too hard to use the CJ hood and cut the Willys grill to fit. Lose the Jeep lettering on the cowl and maybe add Willys lettering to the hood sides and tailgate. Lots of choices. This is your design so do what you envision.
