    Craigslist and Estate Sale finds!

    That is a score. Wonder if there are any replacement stickers floating around any longer? Not that you even need it. My advice - don't crack it open unless it has a leak. As tempting as it might be to "rebuild" it, it's more than likely fine.

    walkerhoundvm's rebuild thread

    Also also, we have a new addition to the family coming in July. All the more reason to put this all in the rear view mirror.

    walkerhoundvm's rebuild thread

    Hopefully we've reached the end of this particular chapter in the rebuild. After an exhaustive search for issues triggering several check engine codes, ultimately ending with a rebuilt engine in March after I found the heads full of coolant, I hope I can finally put this to rest. Drove her...

    What trim level is my 81?

    The trim info on the firewall tag will tell you the seats, which can be specific for Laredo. What you're looking for is above the vin, in "number_letter_letter" format (5EB, for example). If the third digit (second letter) is a J, (eg 1EJ, 5EJ etc.), yours came with vinyl seats with vertical...

    1984 SL Restoration

    Ah, I see. The shoulder should lock it into the hole, but may still contact enough around the rim to rub paint. Meanwhile, the rocker trim is compressed against the body so if you tighten too much, it'll imprint the paint. Obviously, it doesn't take too much pressure to imprint the paint, so...

    1984 SL Restoration

    You used a lot of big words there, but I'll try to answer - yes, the rockers can rub against the paint, and the nuts can rub against the back side of the tub. The elevator bolt is in a slider track on the back side of the rocker. You're trying to get it between the lip of the rear well and the...

    I measured my original before the tub swap - if I can find them I'll post up to compare 👍🏻

    Swing Out Spare Tire Carrier Drawing

    My unsolicited advice would be to plug the holes in the tub with carriage bolts and build a bumper-mounted carrier. It'll be much more sturdy and less likely to pull through your tub.

    Gladiator

    I've got a reservation on a new Bronco, but this is something that could make me cancel that reservation. But but, I see in their survey they may be looking at one for a Bronco 👹

    Let’s see your LS air filter setups

    I remember that. After finding a pair of head gasket leaks and/or valve cracks, I put in a freshly rebuilt LS over the winter and it's still throwing the same codes 😵 It's been doing better, but I suspect that might be because it's been cooler out than it was in the summer obviously. I'm...

    Let’s see your LS air filter setups

    Would be glad to see photos - especially if you're able to get it cordoned off from the engine heat somehow. Here's mine. Having trouble with my $300 solution sucking in a lot of hot air.

    Proper placement of factory decals

    Phoenix graphics are very good. There's one or two other commercial vendors out there, but PG has a good product that even a novice can apply. Are they still a vendor here?

    New to the Scrambler world - first question...

    What engine is in there? My guess is that it's a punch for a basic on/off check engine light.
