Small world... I lived in Gamboa in 76, passed through Clayton (stationed in Honduras) in 88, back to Panama in late 89 and then stationed in Panama from 92-95. I had my YJ down there then... lots of opportunities to 4wd, just don't get caught up in those flash rain storms or rising tide of the...

Any thoughts on the color, Black vs. Silver/Aluminum ?

700r Transmission cleaned and ready for painting.... I'm at work, my 14 year old daughter is at home masking off the edges to pain.

Genius kick ass idea.

I struggled with that thought too, but since she’s garaged and used for fair weather country road strolls or occasional trail rides, it definitely made the jeep more practical, and therefore an easier decision. Of course it does nothing for the noise, however for Christmas my wife got me the...

A side note... we were on a ride on the CJ7 and my 10 year old daughter was complaining that her feet were hot. When I pulled over I felt the floor and it was enough to almost burn my hand. We decided to add insulation (sticky tarry stuff we bought on Amazon) and a carpet.... it made a huge...

Replacement seats... I love the nutmeg. I bought the skins for a guy on Ebay. I think they are a great match for the originals, however never having previously owned a Laredo, it's hard for me to tell.

Old Laredo Seats.... when my upholstery guy broke them down it looked like some rats had gotten into the foam.... the springs were too rusted to keep, so he welded new components.

Mounted engine... I'm waiting on the PS brackets that Jersey is going to source for me

Finally Rolling, tires are Cooper 265/70-15 on 8 inch wide Laredo rims

Painted the Block AMC Blue.... I don't think this is accurate color of an '84

Primer

I not quite satisfied with the body, but after getting it blasted it was starting to get some flash rust, so I sent it off from primer

Can you tell me where I can find this link? thanks, Norm

I just didn’t know if the metal polish left a waxy barrier that wouldn’t allow the clear coat to adhere.

This was my first time taking restoring aluminum trim, and I had no idea how long it would take me. As of right now, I am nearly finished, and I would guess it took me about 15 hours to do both. I ordered these $8 sanding discs from Amazon. They ranged from 80 grit, to I think 2000. Blue...

Thank you, I didn’t realize there was such a thing as clear powder coat.

I purchased a set of Scrambler Rocker Trim Moulding from a member and I'm in the process of polishing. This is a pic of one side done vs. original, and another pic of the difference between sanded with 3000 grit and polished. The polish allowed me to get to a mirror shine, but I'm not sure...

Hello, just trying to get some ballpark figures for painting an off frame restoration. Thanks

I know this is a little dated, but how did it go? did it fit up?
