Mud Scrambler - Must be Red Dents are fine, some rust fine

Hope to have running soon, can't believe been 3 years of on/off project.

Got the YJ front fender splash guards installed.

Pic shows sliding the radiator hose elbow thru hole in frame body mount for heavy wiring.

About out of old radiator and heater hose for wiring protectors.

Also fishing in the 2ga wire for front winch inside frame.
Was easier to remove bottom bolts for motor mount & shock tower then replace after wires installed.

Going to be thrashing on this Scrambler to head to Moab in 15 days !
And need couple days for shakedown.

Daughter wants an extended spring break (after her Church 3 day trip) and wants to take Muddy Buddie (her nickname for Mud Scrambler)... so needless to say I'm excited ! :bacon:

I went to Moab in 2001 first time that I had ever 4 wheeled on a rock before. All we have in East TX is gumbo mud.

Got the ARB compressor wiring harness all rewired to fit the installation underneath battery tray better.

Got the battery box & air compressor mounted for last time.
I must of pulled this thing in & out hundred times fitting the compressor at just the right angle to fit in between the fender braces and still have access to air hose & intake hose.

Got a few of the winch cables made up, but ran out of oxygen in my torch.

Spring & summer outside play time almost over, it's raining (flooding again actually) so thinking need get ready to ride.

Had a wanted thread on the MasteRac storage armrests and great Scrambler guy came thru.

They already have the perfect Mud Scrambler patina :)

What idiot who's dog no longer had a place to stand while hanging her head out the window sold you those?
 
Anyone know how long Masterac was in business.

The holes on lid used to secure sheepskin covered armrest, but wouldn't allow full opening of lid.

No clue how long, but I know you can reproduce those. All the other MasteRac stuff I have do not have the skins either.
 
They look very hard edged and uncomfortable , even for a dogs paws :wave:

I can appreciate the "lets
put storage everywhere" theme these were getting at way back then when we had tube TVs, but these days we have much better center consoles, smaller gadgets to store (and flat screen TVs) :rotfl:




 
Ill only like them if they collect water and rot the bottoms out like our cjs do. Lol.
 
I may have the Scrambler project for you. It's a factory red '84 with full hard doors, a black 1/2 top, and black interior. It's got a solid 304 V8 in it with a rebuilt TF999 automatic. PS, PB. I haven't finished hooking everything back up on the transmission yet. There is rust on the body and rear frame rails but it's still pretty solid overall. Many items included with this Scrambler including a new set of (4) Goodyear Wrangler 31" tires, NOS headlight harness, an OEM under-dash harness, OEM voltmeter and oil pressure gauge, and a good used set of KC Day Lighters with covers, switch and harness, new rear brakes (everything) and a new stainless steel parking brake cable.I will take pics and post soon. Would make a great mudding or hunting Jeep.

I had couple fab shops look at the armrest / storage and due to tight tapered bends and being made from a single sheet, they did not want to tackle.

LMK if you need more pics or measurements.

Here they are installed.

I took the black sheepskin covers off of my set.
Masterac made good stuff... before Tuffy.

I'm too tall to put my arm on them, resting on top of door is about right.
They are not in way of anything.

I store chapstick, pack smokes, knife & gate keys. Sometimes an extra clip. Never notice the rattle.

V-8 is fun in a CJ. Automatic works great on muddy trails.
 
Those look sweet on there. Even used the nice fasteners. They were not uncomfortable at all. The taper with the rolled edges on the bottom are nice.
