Not to pry, but would you mind sharing how much you paid for the paint job.... I have gotten estimates anything 3k-12k.

The picture below is of 1976 AMC Dark Cocoa Metallic H4, contrasted with the full door appliqué decal from Phoenix Graphics. The appliqué seems to match up really close with the original color tops nutmeg tops, although in many instances the nutmeg top and interior aren't perfect matches...

I bought a set of fuel, brake and vapor lines from Inline Tubing for a 85 CJ8 with a 258, but I'm looking for some pics of where the clips fit onto the frame. Anyone have pics or a diagram? thanks in advance

Thanks, any recommendations on something to give that OEM look?

The goal is to get the Scrambler (258cc, Old Man Emu 2.5" springs) but otherwise to look much like it did in 1984... I'm looking for recommendations on 31x10.5x15 tires to go on some original Laredo rims. This build is intended as a daily driver/garage queen... it should never see the trail...

I love pictures of your beautiful Scrambler, I'd love to see it sometime .... The color I am looking for is this color. It has sort of a "golden flake". In the sunlight, does your color take on this tone?

You are 1000% correct.... I did some research and I found the color of the jeeps in post #2. As you said that is 1985/86 5E Dark Brown Metallic. The painter offered to mix up a small batch to test and see if I liked it. It's a dead match.

not yet... it may be a while.

Thank you... Just out of curiosity, are there any other random brackets or pieces that are black? By the way, that's an awesome color combo, is that Copper Brown Metallic? Do you happen to have more pictures?

Thank you... the ones I have the PO rubber coated them. I will send mine out for powder coating black if that is the stock look. thanks again, Norm

Can anyone tell me the name of this bracket circled in red, and if original Scramblers had the bracket painted the color of the tub, or powdercoated black?

That's an excellent point, I had a similar thought but dismissed the possibility since I didn't want a gloss finish. I didn't realize there was a matte clear coat finish.

It was pretty close to the SEM camel 15173.... maybe off just a shade. The issue I would pass on is that according to the paint store, this type of paint is not intended for use in direct sunlight as it does not offer UV protection.

I haven't painted the top yet... I've been trying to figure out how to dry the air from my compressor. I have so much water coming out that it looks like a pressure washer.

Year: 84 Goal: Resto-mod to return to the nearly original look of a “brown Jeep.” Model: Laredo Final tire size: 31x10.5-15, (5) 15x8 original chrome Laredo wheels Build details: Frame off restoration Highlights- Stainless steel fuel and brake lines, stainless bolt kit, Phoenix Graphics...

I took advantage of the SpeedHut sale and got 15% off.... they have sales during March Madness, Memorial Day, July 4th and Black Friday (20% off). They are as original as I could design them.

I hope this will be one of the few modifications to the project that can be noticed from the external appearance..... MORE gear box bracket.

No worries my friend.... sometimes it makes you feel better to get it Off your chest, sometimes it will help someone else avoid your predicament.... sometimes someone from RR management will see the problem and fix it for the better. Any way you look at it these are fair concerns as opposed to...

Thanks to Jersey I was finally able to locate a tilt, automatic CJ steering column... the plan is to put in a 700r transmission with column shift.

We are up on all 4s. I ordered the Rocky Road cj to yj conversion kit and it arrived a month later. I’m becoming less of a fan of RR every time I reach out to them. Their communication is poor (not a single email to tell me their shipping was going to be delayed) and when their package...
