1985 Jeep Scrambler Laredo Ground Up Restoration Done In 2000-2001
1985 Jeep CJ Laredo
1985 Jeep Scrambler Laredo Ground up Restoration project Done in 2000-2001 with a 4wd hardware heavy duty fiberglass tub painted forest green metallic has been re assembled with a Michigan assembled title as a 2001 Jeep truck. I have full coverage no questions asked by my insurance company, the Jeep has been stored until I purchased it last August and decided to fix and remove useless items such as two 20 gallon fuel cells and a tool box with a transfer pump which all was never used so I removed that plus the whole wire harness was a huge disaster so it too was torn out also plus many upgrades have done since then. The frame is original 1985 and very clean and solid not soft spots or nearly any rust I've also painted it three times with chassis saver very tough stuff.
I have replaced all the gauges with auto meter gauges the speedometer is original and works minus the fuel and temp gauges, I also added an air to fuel ratio gauge to. The Laredo package came with the spice seats and spice dash pad, plus delay wipers which work along with the wiper wash too plus the original heater works very well along with new cables for the heater. It has a tuffy center console with an alpine CD player that plays through a jbl sound bar $600 add on with Bluetooth to. Has a bed rug carpet kit that is waterproof and I also put in the centech wire harness along with all new U.S.A. made battery cables all purchased from ce auto electric in Arizona the block is grounded to the frame on both sides all the grounds under the dash are properly grounded along with too gel batteries that are located behind the cab divider in Moroso battery boxes.
