Picked this 1984 J10 Laredo up this spring. Solid truck from out west.

Welcome from the northeast!

Not from MI....

I bought it from Ohio where it was for the past few years. Prior to that it was from Arizona, 15 miles from the Mexican border. It's solid.... but cooked!

Someday I would like to get a new paint job and interior.... for now I'm enjoying driving it and showing it off the way that it is. Not many this solid in SE Michigan.

Step 1 was polishing the wheels getting ready for new tires



Step 2 was new tires.... off with the dry rotted 32x11.5 for a set of 33x12.5's



Step 3... someone painted the dash, I like the original color better. (I got most of the black off.... just never took a picture)



Step 4 getting rid of cooked paint and a buttload of filler. Just hit it with rattle can primer for now.... looks a lot better




I'm sure it will be a loooong process, but I smile every time I drive it!!

Solid plan!!! EXACTLY what I would have recommended (some minor repairs and enjoying it).

How did you get the paint of your dash pad? Looks waaaaaayyyyy better....

Just a paint remover from Meijer. It was in a plastic bottle.... my thought was it shouldn't hurt the dash.

Thanks!!

The J10 definitely has a unique presence the others don't!! The white JL has limited days left. I have a new 2019 Hella Yella JL Rubi coming.... with a power top!!!

That's exactly why I still have mine!!

NEW VS. OLD

UPWINGS,

please post a photo of the new jeep when it arrives
the color name sounds like it will look real good ! and i bet it does.
i have not seen many newer jeeps, but i do have an '04 RUBICON red 2dr
(the rubicon option has always looked great)

but the old FSJ's just have an appeal of their own....
