Very nice!
Hear anything from Josh?
I called him & sent him email, but he never sent pics.
This seller, owned since 1996, gave me great price...so I pulled the trigger.
I like the faded and stained Red with mold growing on it... Camo Red

Josh sent pics yesterday of decent MI Red SR.
Seller sent pics yesterday of Mud Scrambler loaded and ready for winter cross country ride.
And it FINALLY rained in East TX (actually twice in 6 months) and duck hole has SOME water.
Roads and interlocking trails will be muddy and some trails underwater.
No more cold rides in side-by-side to get to duck blinds
Going to sell the Polaris.

We need mud riding pictures
11 days of duck season left and Mud Scrambler is still in transit.
Hope these Gateway Buckshots with 1 1/4" tread will be enough for awhile.
Been getting lots of very much needed rain

DAS dropped the 84 off yesterday.
It's exactly as pictures, faded but no rust.
They took liberty to pressure wash the WA molded patina
I hope it grows back soon.
360 Starts right up and idles smooth.
AND .. It will white smoke both rear tires !! :-)
Drove to construnction site and found nice muddy spot.
Put the biggest smile on my face in weeks when mud landed on the 1/2 top

Checked brakes, changed oil, lubed entire Jeep, adjusted & cleaned carb, air filter and old gas treatment.
Once warm, (probably stuck thermo)....Motor idles smooth and lots of power when vac comes on... but still a slow kick. Gotta find my vac guage and more tuning.
Made it thru test hole with ease, even with half worn, hard as rock... cheap old mud tires.
Good to see U around, what OEM dash indicator light U need?

Peeps trading me stuff & I find way too much crap, had to trade a Jeep SE 8274 for the buckshots.
Best stickey tire.... circa 1980's .... ever made bar none !
Excellent!!! Need pics of it in use!
Most fun in a Jeep since 10 year Anniversary @ Jeep Beach, Daytona spring before last
This 84 Scrambler is just too dang nice to tear up, I just don't have it in me to abuse it
... it's straight as pencil and 0 rust...so been thinking about selling with NOS dash & complete NOS Garnet package.I've never seen even a pic & really want to see a Black or Silver Scrambler with complete Garnet interior, 1/2 cab & tonneau cover... and triple red decals
Somebody retitle this thread & move to Scrambler for sale by owner.

You traded for 20+ year old rubber! Are they still pliable?

I'd build it that way once I'm done with my current one!
U would be great one to restore properly
NOS tires are just like NOS soft tops.... ALL depends on storage conditions.
I've seen some unboxed tops that got too hot or humid damp and are junk with chicken pox spots on clear windows. I've got several 1/2 cab Scrambler tops that were stored in climate controlled basement that are like brand new.
If they are stored off the floor....in dark and dry or semi-climate controlled environment then they don't age.
I've seen NOS trackers that have poor storage that are junk. I've bought 6 year old Goodyear Rubicon tires for my LJ that were on spare tire carrier, exposed to sun and they are sun cracked and junk.
Then I've got NOS set of Tracker's.... that were stored dark & dry.... A/T and P/G and they are minty mint and wouldn't be afraid to drive them at 70.
All depends on what kind of package deal that is WANTED.
For instance, ALLNOS I have: before mentioned complete Garnet, Jambo brushguard & light bar, V-8 tach, clock, AM/FM, OEM dash stuff, all weatherstrip & door seals....etc, etc, etc.
Also triple red decals and Ramsey or Warn Jeep SE winch with either correct CJ mount and marker lights.
In other words, one stop shop for everything to build a VERY nice correct looking resto-mod fun Scrambler.
I imagine this Scrambler will go to Europe to be properly loved, along with other nice parts.
Cool, I'll be sorting thru stuff in month or so (as soon as my foot swelling goes down) and will set some aside.

Caught several big Fish & Frogs ...and now time get back to wrenching 
For night time hog hunting & fact that Muddie Buddie has existing holes in windshield frame... I'm wanting to install some auxiliary lights.
Last night, I removed the chrome Olympic light bar & mocked up the "Jambo" light bar.
Not much clearance between the Jambo light bar & hardtop.
I should know this trivia but don't...
Is the Jambo light bar correct with hardtop?
I may have to fabricate taller windshield brackets.

Doin lots of work on Mud Scrambler.
Kinda bored with original stuff, no challenge.
Wanting low 2.5" lift and room to stuff 33" Buckshots so moved axle forward 1.25" and rear forward 1".
Why AMC didn't center the wheels in openings????
For the steering, using the large GM flipped tie rod & flipped draglink.
To move axle forward and have room for the larger tie rods.... must move steering box forward.
Started with the MORE bracket HD steering bracket that moves 1.25" forward and 1" down.
That wasn't enough with the longer OME YJ springs as the tie rod was hitting draglink.
I started to cut & move the crossmember.... but decided to just modify the MORE bracket.
Got another .75" and looks to be perfect.
Would of been easier to move crossmember, but would of been hard to return to stock.
Anyway some pics:
