    Freshening Up my 1981 Scrambler Laredo

    So it's been just shy of 11 months since I picked up this 1981 triple black Scrambler for a quick flip. My family came across it while vacationing in Lake Havasu. After sending me a few pictures we finally decided to buy it and resell for some quick money. The PO had owned the Jeep for just a...

    Quite possibly the sexiest transport on the road today!

    So the Jeeps were moved from Havasu to our new house in Thatcher, AZ. I am stoked, and now safely tucked away in the massive garage. Driver told me people came and took pictures every time he stopped for gas! Love it!

    AM/FM/CB Antennas...?

    Does anyone have a good photo of an original AM/FM/CB antenna that was used on Jeeps? I am trying to source an antenna and would like to find something as close to original as possible... better yet, does anyone have one they would like to sell? :rolleyes:

    What gives?

    OK, not to sound like an absolute NOOB, but why is the transfer case shifter on my '81 so much different than the shifter on the '83? I actually prefer the longer '81 style for what it's worth... Hey, just curious.

    Scrambler Alarm Options

    I suffer from an irrational fear that someone is going to steal my Jeep... well maybe not so irrational as I have been burgled several times before. I would like to install a simple car alarm, preferably 2 wire with a starter disconnect and with paging. I know that alarms are easy to disable...

    Side Steps

    When did Jeep start offering side steps and on what packages were they available. For example, would it have been an option on our '81 SR? Second question, how are they installed? Are there pre-drilled holes in the body/frame/tub or is this something that you have to measure 5 times and drill...

    To build or not to build...

    I posted a couple of weeks ago about purchasing a new Scrambler, a deal too good to pass up especially as it was in my own back yard. The Jeep is a 1981 SR, all black and what I would call for lack of a better word is an Original Survivor. I am the 3rd owner of this Jeep, the 2nd owner holding...

    Removing Clear Coat from chrome rims

    I have searched the forum and could not find anything but apologies if this has been covered in another thread. What is the best way to remove old clear coat from OEM chrome rims? Is a soda blaster gentle enough to remove the coat without scratching the chrome? I don't have a lot of spare time...

    What did you do with your Scrambler today? March 2014 version

    Went to the storage unit and loaded up the hard top and bulk head for prep and painting in April when I come back. First time I have touched it in years... looks pretty good although the bulkhead looks a little dicey, may have to get a different one. PO painted the top a Nutmeggy color to blend...

    The hardest day of my life....

    I'll start with the 2nd hardest day of my life, February 13, 2014. I met with a urologist last week after some "follow-up" testing post annual medical, at 46 years old I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Unreal. I went through this scare in 2012 while living in Indonesia only to be...

    Brutes, these things are cool!

    Saw this Jeep Brute conversion a couple of weeks ago at the Desert Bar. I would actually consider ditching the Scrambler and getting one of these, I think they look awesome. <a...

    Anyone here tried the SSBC disc brake coinversion on their rear axle?

    I am curious if anyone has experience with the SSBC disk brake conversion on their Scrambler, or any other brand. I could definitely benefit from improved stopping power when towing the trailer.

    Key stuck in new ignition, not yet installed

    OK, so I just bought an OEM ignition cylinder and set of keys off Ebay and received them today. Not sure if it happened before it was mailed or if the idiots in Customs did it when they inspected the package (accidentally mailed it to myself in Peru), but someone took the keys, put them in the...

    Speaker Enclosures

    Has anyone tried the custom CJ8 speaker enclosures from ToyBox Jeeps? NEW Custom speaker boxes that we make especially for SCRAMBLER Jeeps. After trying all the others, we had to make our own. These fit in the wasted space by the roll bar and sound awesome. ONLY $139.00 with $25 extra to coat...

    Installing a factory tachometer

    I am about to finish with the new dash and in the process of getting the OEM tachometer installed. I swapped over to a DUI HEI earlier this year so none of the wiring from the ECM to the coil is around anymore. What do I need to do the the tach to get it wired in to the HEI? I assume I just run...

    Engine running hot, or maybe not?

    So here's the dilemma... I added coolant to the system this weekend and noticed that my upper radiator hose was somewhat deformed, like it had been running under extreme pressure. After adding the coolant I started the engine and let it warm up and noted that the upper hose indeed started to...

    Half door uppers, square or round corner?

    I have been trying to locate a set of soft uppers for my YJ doors to run with the Scrambler OEM half hardtop. I assume I need to find a set of uppers with the rounded corners where the door meets the hardtop, problem is, I can't find anybody that offers just the frames and skins with this...
