Hey, jscherb. For some reason the website did not show your message until today...maybe has to o ith the website change? I would appreciate a drawing when you have the time. Thanks. My email is

Hey all. Does anyone have a good write up on replacing the MAIN bed panel AND the 4 corner panels in the bed (the little pieces where the roll bar attaches)? I am considering getting these from Classic but wanted some insight. I've replaced rockers and floor pans before on a Triumph Spitfire...

Great! I was off from work for Good Friday today and went with my wife an kids to Morristown. I drove right through Russelville on Andrew Johnson highway. Horse Creek area has a good place to go camping...not been there in some years, maybe when the kids are a little older I'll take them. I'm...

Oops, I found a website explaining how the positive back pressure units work...here is a link if anyone is interested. http://www.agcoauto.com/content/plugins/p2_news/printarticle.php?p2_articleid=207 Thanks, Mark

Ok, thanks. Mcmud, have you bench tested one before without a running engine? Would a plate bolted to the mounting surface with regulated air pressure from my compressor work to simulate the back pressure? My Jeep is not in running condition, she is stripped in mid-restoration. If it won't...

Hi, I found a similar question from RandyLL in the past but it did not have a confirmed answer so I am reposting the question. Should the EGR valve on an '83 258 actuate with vacuum applied to the port or does it also require exhaust back pressure? Mine won't move with vac applied alone during...

Sounds good...if you are ever Sunday driving in the Camp Creek area or near Green mountain rd let me know. I'm not a die hard off roader, though I live in the mountains and my long dirt driveway is rougher than most modern Jeeps seem to ever go. I'm just restoring my Scrambler that i got...

Well, I repainted the engine block with the AMC metallic color yesterday (paint from Eastwood). Looks pretty good. I took the time to powder coat most of the brackets, pulleys, fan blade, linkages, dipstick tube, etc in black too while I had them off. I powder coated the intake manifold in...

Thanks Rosco1974. That isn't the setup I have but parts of it will help. Mine has the pulsed air system, not a smog pump. Some of my parts are different but some seem to be the same. Thanks much, it will help me reroute part of my mess. -Mark

Hey, all. Does anyone have good pics of how the miles of wires and tubing were originally routed on an '83 with an intact pulsed air system and stock carter carb? It was a horrible mess under the hood on mine...not sure if it was OEM or a poor reinstall after a previous engine pull. Any help...

Hey, I have been looking for help on my AC install for my '83 Scrambler. I came across a post from you from 2008 asking for help with your setup and belt routing. My current setup is a similar v-belt setup without the ac. I got the v-belt ac unit from a friend but I'm not sure I have all the...

brox, in addition you will want to check out the bed as a whole and particularly around the roll bar mounts. My Jeep was in "great" looking shape in regards to the body but I had a little "bubbling" starting to show in just a few places. As bigwalton stated, there was more extensive damage...

I agree with cjgoode...that advice fits any old used car review. If you are asking questions in regards to originality then check out some of the posts here about the original engines, color, trim options, wheels,etc, etc an see how the ones you're looking at compare. If you can post...

Great, I hope you get it going soon. Post a pic when it's done!

My dictionary spells it unmolested??

Along these lines, check out this "used car salesman" auction on ebay right now. Ooh...an unmolested Jeep indeed. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/jeep-has-original-paint-and-stripes-if-ur-looking-scrambler-stop-/150768733393?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item231a844cd1

Thanks, Trust. Ah, the Spits...one is still in very long term restoration. It is fully repainted in a nice Viper blue with silver accents. However, since I miss my Jeep 'Bessie' more, I have mothballed it for now. I have a new interior and restored drivetrain (except the engine) ready to...

Ah, thanks. Mine has the pulsed air system on it...it works too. Seems like a convoluted mess on mine but I wanted to keep that part stock as you have. Thanks again. Nice build photos, definitely helpful for any restorer. I have about 500 pics of mine so far...I suppose I need to find an...

Thanks, Joe! That is just the thing I was looking for...pictures are worth a thousand words each. Excuse my ignorance but what is mounted above the power steering pump in some of your photos? I can't identify that v-belt driven component. I will look closely at all your photos for my ac...

Hey, all. I bought most all of the parts I think I need to add factory A/C to my restore. There are, I'm sure, some items I've missed and and I could use some insight on installing the parts onto my "Bessie". I have a v-belt setup currently. Can anyone point me to the right thread or photos...
