1984 SL, Yard Scrambler II

The bullethole stickers are awesome! Some have definitely withstood the first washing.

As far as those lights, I have no clue why the studs are so long. The light tabs on my factory push bar and factory rollbar or not much thicker than the CJ light tabs.

The only update I have is that the Jeep leaks no fluid. I hope it's not because it has no fluid left in it to leak out.
Plans are currently in the works for road worthiness.

have you driven it 50 miles plus, got it good and hot, and then parked it for 2 weeks?? Then you will know if it "leaks" :)
 
You need that long drive. Go north and check on the goats, that's got to be an easy 40 miles right there [emoji41]

Yard Scrambler II has begun its journey to the "yard".

We have seen zero interior pics of it , am I losing it or is that the case ? :popcorn:
 
I don't think I took any interior pics but regardless the lack of interior pics has nothing to do with you losing it :cheers:
I'll see if my yard mate can snap some interior pics if I don't have any on my phone.
Maybe that'l dial you back in:cool:
 
In the middle of trying to decipher MCU wiring, another yard weed pops up :woohoo:

Biggest issue, fun,fun,fun,fun:eek::crazy:

This one runs and drives, but needs a little help here and there, mainly under the hood. It has a half way installed electric fan set up, half way nuttered carb/ignition, needs some help.

It is an '84, 258 with 5 speed, PS and PB, Laredo package. Only rust is on the front floor boards where your feet go, and the windshield frame is shot, looks really good everywhere else:drool:

If I was looking for another one to rebuild, this looks like a great candidate :twocents: I'm just going to get it safely running and driving, then it can go back to sitting in the big Baton Rouge warehouse.

JA is only person that I believe when he says "it ran when parked"
 
As requested, a few interior pictures.

Overall interior shot, shows the clock, tach is also hiding in there, tilt column.

Driver side seat shot, passenger seat OK IIRC, steering wheel OK, door panels OK, dash is super IIRC.

Dash was cut for DIN radio, Laredo emblem on glove box, original Laredo decals on dash. Interior AC unit present, no compressor or lines, but the condensor is still in front of radiator.

Driver side floor pan does not have any holes, it is just really thin. The indentation strips have splits at the bottom. I have not looked real close at the bottom, but I would bet that the underside channels are fine.

Passenger side floor pan, not as thin as driver side, but it has a 2" hole.

Interior floor behind the foot wells is almost perfect. Currently a spare Carter BBD depository.

Rear bed/bulkhead look perfect, original bulkhead gasket is still present.

Appears to be original paint on the interior, maybe inside of the bed, too; crappy respray on the exterior. Beside the front floor board where your feet go, this thing is solid. IIRC, Tommy has replacement front floorboards for this one. A little bit of floorboard work, good new paint job, this would be an almost all original sheet metal specimen. Like I said, this would be perfect for a rebuild/restoration, the body and frame are in really great shape, especially considering what is out there :twocents:

Dammit, now I'm mad I didn't buy this one :banghead: :crazy:

The price was incredible and JA acted very fast on this one...so even if you wanted to, you had to beat him out before the very tiny hourglass ran out. :)

I give him a lot of credit for being an addict like more than a few of us are around here...and "gettin' er done"! :bow:
