How about some pics! I want my next Scrambler project to either have the 304 in it or transplant an AMC V8 into one with a 4-banger.

How about a picture of the VIN tag with just the first seven digits. How's that for a "name-that-tune" challenge, Robert? LOL. Believe it when I see it.

Definitely looks like a top for hard doors. Nice one.

I need to get up to Kansas! Great finds.

If this is for the hard door style, I would be interested in it (if ScramblinDAP passes).

Yeah, message me the details, and I can probably get up there on Saturday.

Well, this happened all in the last couple weeks. Both black SL from Texas. 1983 with original paint, wood rails and automatic. Late 1982 repainted with aftermarket tonneau, shoulder belts and T176. First came the 1982 for a summer project but before it could be delivered, the long quested for...

Hagerty insures all my non-daily drivers. It's generally been great and very reasonable cost. I got the same e-mail for some of mine. When I first listed a very low mileage Laredo CJ7 and my restored 1985 Scrambler Laredo, they made me get appraisals to support my desired value. Funny, I...

Congrats on the purchase. Good luck with the restoration. I bought a restored one in Dec. 2020 and put some more finishing touches on it (found some factory bumpers and re-chromed them, CJ slot mags and a few other niceties. There are 3-4 outlets that sell mechanical and cosmetic reproduction...

Definitely NOT a factory radio

Good question here. If pressed for an answer, I would agree that these side emblems started in 1985. Someone might check the original dealer brochures or historical pictures. The 1985 brochure has a white Laredo Scrambler with the side "Scrambler" emblems. Since the 1985 hood said Laredo (or...

Same thing (4-dr Cherokee XJ) but mine wasn't from JCWhitney. Maybe Quadratec.

Thanks for everything that you've done and continue to do for the forum and all the members.

Interesting chart. Using google, the B46 appears to be the RA5-J key (and a GM-key) so makes sense.

Here's my 2 cents as I have these for my Jeeps. RA4 keys will work for up to 1984 CJs and J-trucks (probably other models but that's all I have). The RA5-J keys (shown above and J is the important designation) work with 1985-1986 because the lock cylinder is different than pre-1985. The J...

Use that aerokroil or PB Blaster to help break the rust bond then grab a flathead screwdriver and hammer. Hold the molding up with one end on the ground (consider using some padding) and lean it somewhat against a wall. Keep the screwdriver and hammer direction at a very low angle (as parallel...

Sorry, I do not. There may be some other information on the correct nutmeg paint for hard tops out here somewhere though.

Agreed. This is either a 76-78ish CJ-5/7 bumper or maybe a sportside J-truck bumper. The lip and light holes are definitely J-truck style. The townside J bumpers are longer than CJ bumpers but not sure about sportside.

I've monitored the market and seen over a half dozen, but they have mostly been repainted and hard to tell. I have seen a couple that could/might have original paint but no real confidence. From what I can tell, they were branded "CJ-7 Limited." They had our rear CJ7 emblem in the grill area...

Overly technical, but from 1981-84 the Renegade and Laredo trims (from the 7's and 5's) were called SR and SL, respectively, on the Scrambler. Each said Scrambler on the hood - instead of Renegade or Laredo. That was the case until 1985 until they were truly called Renegades and Laredo and got...
