SCJEEPER'S Build to Now!

I love every last thing about this!!!!!!!! :popcorn:

I did something similar for my folks a few years back with a surround sound system install in the wee hours on Christmas Eve to play Christmas music for present opening.
 
I'm definately a giver and I love to do anything for my dad. He always talked about wanting to build a muscle car when I was younger but due to life getting in the way we never did. Ever since I got him into Jeeps he has been like a kid in a candy store for sure. Now the only problem is that he usually works 6 days a week if not seven. He is the shift manager at the Borg Warner Plant in Seneca, SC.....you know the trasfer case manufacturer. So when we get to work on the jeeps it is just going back and doing the things that we wish we could have done years ago. Anyway.....the install had its issues as all things do but we got it done. Some fabrication for mounts but at least we were at my shop and had everything that we needed. Here are some pictures......

Very cool! What's the deal with the box the stereo is in? I like that solution for folks that don't want to go with the console setup!
 
Go on amazon and search under dash install kit. I did not want cut the dash so with a little fab work I got around it. It worked great and I even put plastic over the top so no water from the windshield could get on it. Pretty dang clean install I think!

Definitely!!
 
I like the top! I almost swiped it last month. I didnt think I would like how it looked on my project, so I passed. It looks excellent on yours. I think when they are black they look a little tall.
 
Well it has been a while since I have had time to do anything on the jeep and it has been fartin cold! With the highs in the 70's this weekend I couldn't resist knocking out some lingering projects that I have been wanting to do. First was to change the color of the interior panels on the half doors. Got some of my go to duplicolor vinyl/fabric paint and went to work. The final project turned out great in my opinion. Pictures to prove it.

Next project will be summed up simply by the pictures. I hope that you guys are as happy about it as I am. It is not an exact match but looks good none the less. The doors need too much body work to save them so i just made lemonade out of lemons. I'll have to replace them at some time but not now. They serve the purpose for me.

Are those the rocky road - rock sliders?

How far do they stick out (past the body)? Condsidering sliders vs supersliders.

If I remember correctly, he custom made them. But I will defer to SCJEEPER for the definitive answer.

I used his for the inspiration for mine which I had custom made this past year.

Now I put some of the bling that I had acquired. SS Grill, hood hinges, and windshield hinges made an improvement.

Now to have some music for cruising. I installed a basic Pioneer head unit with 5.25s in the dash and 6x9 behind the seats. Sounds really good in my opinion. Fat hands did not help in this installation!

And yes all the wiring is cleaned up now!
My wife was having a hard time getting in and out of the Jeep so I decided to make some step/sliders. I really like the way these turned out.

Yea I made them out of 2x4 quarter wall tube and 2x2 quarter wall tube with .25" plate for mounting brackets that sandwich the frame. Here are the pictures from when I built them. The are even with the 6" Xenon Flares.
 
I just burned half of my morning reading through this thread.
I have no idea how I missed it.

Great work on a now very nice Scrambler. Good job!

In reading and admiring all of the bigwalton appeasing pictures, the more that right height grew on me.
What springs are in it, shackles, and it would appear there's a shackle reversal kit on the front springs.
Brands and specs? Again, great looking 8!

Are we going to get to see it in person at the 10th annual SOA National event in Harlan, KY?
 
Thanks man! It is just a 4" Spring lift with the M.O.R.E Shackle reversal system on it. There is a 1" body lift on it but it doesn't need it. I would love to come to Harlan but we have already made vacation plans.
 
What brand springs are they? Ride good?

Bummer on the vacation plans. It's probably the closest a National will ever be to you in Pickens.
 
They are Superlift springs and I am not kidding when I say that it rides amazing!
 
Had to show you guys this picture. Had a little alternator issue this weekend and needed an extra hand in tightening it back up so I asked Jess to help and couldn't resist the photo op.
