    Scrambled build thread

    So, first assessment of the body… East Coast salt did wonders with the body modifications. The front is relatively intact, but the body in the rear needs a lot of work. So, I’m pricing out replacement parts, or a whole tub, and figuring it out. I’m still surprised at how the frame wasn’t...

    Scrambled build thread

    One thing about this build is I expect it to be slow. It’s still not at my house, and if I do get it here, I have to find a place to work on it (I live in the inner city and don’t have a garage)

    Scrambled build thread

    I posted this in my return Jeep Wave thread. Right now, I’ll be going through fluids, looking for leaks, and getting her ready to move under her own power. Basically, because Scrambled has sat for a long time, I’ll likely throw some parts at her until I can get to a place to do a build. For the...

    Thanks! I’ve always thought that the best advice I’ve gotten on Jeeps has come from this website. Eddie and Cindy have built a gem, not to mention the YouTube videos they put out.

    My Cj-7 is under construction

    My prayers and sympathy go out to you and your family. I understand it, having grown up wrenching on cars with my dad, and the first part of my career being spent with him wrenching on industrial machinery in the Building Trades. God bless.

    As I said, the bed has spots it was eaten away from the inside of the rear body panel, and the rear floor pan in the cab where the seat frames bolt in look like they’re in poor condition. I could cut the bed and rear panels out, and replace them, by TiG welding them (with a bunch of breaks...

    Right place at the right time. My wife is a bit concerned that I call her beautiful just like I say about the Scrambler. 😀

    Pluses: She starts and moves under her own power and the frame looks solid. minuses: I’m not strong on body work, so I’m assessing my options. The body, bed and sections of the floorboard have been eaten up by salt.

    It’s sitting at my buddie’s house. I should be dragging it down to mine in early March. I should have taken pics. The body, especially the bed, is in rough shape, but I want to see if I can replace sections of it with aluminum.

    No, actually. I had a 2006 Wrangler, and gave it to my son. I started a new business and needed something a bit practical for a short time until I pull the trigger on either a JL or JT. I still have a 1982 Scrambler that is in need of TLC.
