    What trim level is my 81?

    Building on this response. If if the interior code ends in A, you know it was a base. If it ends in B, it could be a Renegade or base with upgraded denim texture seats. If it's B and has holes for factory rocker trim, then it's highly likely it was a Renegade.

    Nice, not too far. Let me know if you need anything with it. I like the shoulder belts much better as well.

    Nice. Definitely looks like a pretty original SL version: original chrome wheels and appears like original paint. I spy an extra later-year rollbar too! We're here for advice.

    bigwalton's new Jeep: "The Colonel" - 2018 Rubicon Recon JKU

    By the way, I love the "Colonel" nickname. That should be trademarked or made into an emblem.

    Help me pick wheels

    Congrats on grabbing those! Think that's a good price too. It's a little less than I paid for either of my 2 recent sets of 4, plus I shipped one. With a little polish yours will come out great. I used Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish. Bought that and some drill-bit polishing pads and went to...

    Help me pick wheels

    I obviously like slot mags a lot as they were never factory on Jeepsters. Guess that makes my advice mixed at best and even hypocritical.

    Help me pick wheels

    I like factory look more than anything else . . . However, I am with you on having to match the spare and can help you. I recently found a set of 4 factory 15x7 slot mags for a 1970 Jeepster but needed a 5th so bought another 4 when they come up semi-locally. Now, I have 3 slots and debating...

    What's on your Work Bench?

    Agree here. I wouldn't bother replicating these but might feel differently if I needed a pair. However, the larger end caps were a factory option/accessory for any of the CJs. More people are going to want these.

    Rear Bumper Restoration

    Tips on the backside of the bumper. After you get it chromed, treat the rust (chrome shop treatment may take some of it off), tape it off well, and then spray paint the backside with a shiny metal paint. I've used chrome paint on one and silver on the other. Think the silver looks more like it...

    Rear Bumper Restoration

    I say definitely white to complete the 80's look!!

    Well, the rear and front bumpers look straight if nothing else. Rear may need new chrome but great starting point.

    Lots of promise on this one. Looks like a very nice survivor!

    Current Scrambler pics

    Okay, this isn’t actually a Scrambler, but call this 1970 Jeepster a predecessor - even if less so than the CJ6. Has the cab top and a short bed, like a Scrambler. Just delivered last week for my wife’s Christmas present. Installing factory bumpers and CJ slot aluminum mag wheels.

    What's on your Work Bench?

    The Overlander rear bumper is indeed a black front CJ bumper with plastic end caps that come from the 1982-83 Limted CJ7's.
