Moved to Topsail Island last week. Storage lot where I’m keeping my trailers had these guys parked in it. Lot owner said they were towed there years ago and have never moved. Sadly they are basically parts vehicles now. I know I’m not the only one who wants to save all the cool rides / parts...

FWIW season 21 episode 2 they start the build of a Scrambler. They are starting off with just a body. I usually hate these shows for the corney commentary but it’s a Scrambler. Original air date was 6/15/25

To recap: I purchased a 2020 JT Rubicon (black with tan interior) when they first came out. Mild build on 37s. Loved it but going from a full size truck to a JT didn't work for me at the time so went back to a full size just over a year later. I drove that truck about 2 years and life...

Went and did it again.... bought another Gladiator. When they first came out I picked up a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon from my local dealership. In fact it was the first one sold at that dealership. It was the owner's order and he decided to sell it to wait on a Launch Edition (what a flop that...

I have a Kayline top I acquired about 5 years ago with full soft doors however no hardware at all. In the past 5 years I have been able to grab parts here and there, some multiples, in an effort to complete my set. I have NO idea if I have it all or if what I have is correct. LOL Does anyone...

Picked up a 1981 Autumn Gold today just over an hour away. Nice to find one close to home for a change! Plans are to completely restore the chassis and probably a 304 or 360 in it. Body is in amazing shape so will just restore original paint. This takes a back seat to the Postal so she’ll sit...

I'm fairly sure I have all the parts (alt bracket, pulley, spacers, etc..) since it was a complete engine when torn down but I think I am missing a spacer or something for the idler pulley used on factory A/C set-ups. If I am missing something from the pic below I'm sure it is in a plastic bin...

Another personal build of mine that I have started making ground on is the '84 Postal I also picked up from a member here. I'll never forget the drive back from Cincy when I stopped at a remote gas station in the mountains of NC. Had a couple guys walk over to take a look at what I had on the...

I'm back - well I haven't been gone but have been very busy at the shop building customer's dreams so my personal vehicles have sat idle some-what. I have read lots on here just not been very active in posting. Things are gonna change …. Quick re-cap - I sold the one I said I'd never sell...

While my Postal is not on the front burner I always like to prepare. I have been looking to purchase the replacement panels I need and have run into an issue. I have seen Classic Enterprises panels in person and love the quality. My plan was to buy everything from them. The issue I have is...

There. I said it. I was wrong. In the past I have said that a Jeep to me is one you always have the top off. Therefore as cool as Postals and Overlanders are, I’d never own one. Then @Jambo has to come along and post one for sale and I realize it’s less than 8 hours away. Heck I drove 13 hrs...

On a 84 CJ7 In the other builds section I have a thread on my Renegade I’m restoring back to almost stock. I have a slight twist to the ECU deletion mod that so many of us do. In the extreme off chance that I or a future owner would want to go back 100% stock I’d like to keep all wiring...

Going to upgrade my brake booster/master cylinder set-up with a Master Power Brakes unit. They have two option on bore size - either 1” or 1 1/8”. Which should I go with? Everything else on my ‘81 is new however stock replacements

Purchased this on 3/10/18. Figured I'd start a thread and catch up to today. Neighbor two doors down got it in 1990 from original owner as his 16th birthday present. Parked it in 2001 when the trans let go. Aside from a quarter size hole in drivers floor it's solid. some surface rust you can...

I swear there was a thread on this awhile back but I can't seem to find it. tearing down the '84 CJ7 and pulled the tank out today - skid plate and all. This is the factory 20 gallon poly tank. For the life of me I can't get the actual tank out of the skid plate. I've let it soak in water to...

its time to replace the original steering box on my Scrambler. I searched and read through various threads and still didn't get a firm understanding of everyone's experiences. Seems that AGR isn't worth the money so would a Crown unit work? Also noticed folks using Durango or H1 boxes if they...

In the process of restoring my CJ7 and my painter was able to match the Cinnamon Metallic paint fairly easily. Now it's time for the hardtop. Has anyone successfully matched the paint found on the nutmeg hardtops and can share a paint code or something?

Working on the restoration of the CJ7 Renegade and the rear latch for the tire carrier is missing the spring. Is there a standard replacement for it that anyone is aware of?

I swear I saw a thread about this a year ago or so but can't seem to find it. Does anyone know of a source to get factory code paint for a restoration?

Starting work on my newly acquired 1984 CJ7 Renegade and wanted to get a start on the interior. Lots of mold / dirt from sitting for almost 17 years. I am wanting to save the rear seat, door panels and dash. Front seats are long gone. I've attacked them with some basic ArmorAll interior...
