Renegade 1 Or 2

besser I'm not sure what is meant by EVAP I just assumed it is the cali smog emisions as my cousin bought the Jeep in Cal.

As to the VDO plate I'm at loss also. The jeep does have skid plates under the trans and also the heavy plate under the oil pan.

 

Curious, does your R1 have a fuel vapor canister?

Oh, and thanks for making your paperwork available to us to look at.

 

Actually, I think all of the paint/trim codes thus far have been 999/340. At least I haven't noticed any exceptions.

 

Renegade I, I see by your serial number the sixth # is a 3 which means that "a 3 indicates left hand drive california exhaust emission control engine". The FSM does not say anything about Calif. items, but I bet besser is right that it is some kind of fuel vapor canister.
Also on the VDO question, I notice that on your sheet with the option list, down towards the bottom there is a notation that says"refer to VDO for specs" I bet the VDO plate was that plate they put on the firewall next to the bat. that listed special items, etc. I have seen these on some special order JEEPs

Yeah thats what I meant, having a tail gate.

Thanks for sharing your document
Got pics???

 

Yes it does have the fuel vapor canister

Ready for an exeption this trim code is 338, the seats are a buckskin color.:smash:

The only tag I see near the battery is the one that indicates the paint and trim code.

I will look some more and see if I can find another tag that might be a VDO.

Your welcome for the paperwork I believe in sharing knowlegde and plus it makes these Jeeps so much more interesting not that they are'nt interesting already.

Thank you all for a great website.

 

Wyo Mike I just noticed you asked about pictures. The next item on the to do list is to wax it. After I get it done I will send the pics to someone who is more computer savy than I am that would be willing to post the pictures.

 

Renegade 1 - 338 = Buckskin in the FPM too. Kinda thought you might come up with an exception. Hope you can shoot some pictures of the seats when you figure the pic posting thing out.

 

Sparky now I think about it I have 2 thoughts on this. Please keep in mine that I am going back about 36 years, and its hard to find files in my memory from that far away, I am not even sure I can find them in my FAT area

First thought. About 9 months after I drove it off the dealer lot, my Dad wanted to borrow my JEEP. I said sure, but remember that its not like his old CJ-2 and it can get up and go. Of course he said " I have been driving JEEPS before you were even born, and know how to drive them". You know the story, anyhow to make a long story short, he did a bo bo and dented the hood a little and scratched it. I was out of town and my Dad took it to be fixed. It seems like now that I think about it, when I picked it up, I am thinking that the guy said something about not ordering the blister decal, just the side ones, and just painted the blister. Again this was a long time ago, so I would not bet the farm on it.

My second thought. After what my Dad did, I thought it would be a good idea to order a decal kit for it just in case something happened again. I ordered a complete decal kit and it did not come with the blister decal. Also sense then I have seen 2 other Renegade IIs that I know were original and I don't remember them being a decal. One of them that I know was a original Renegade II had the blister paint really weathered and you could see the yellow paint under it.

For years and years I was always thinking that the blister was painted, but now I am not too sure. :?Someone on the forum a while back had a original parts manual and posted some pics from it of the decals. I wonder if who ever it was could look in the manual and see what it shows.

On a side note if anybody is interested, I still have those original decals that I ordered a long time ago. When I revamped my JEEP I did not want to use those original decals because of some water damage to one of them, so I sent them to Frank Sanborn (sp) up in Mich. to make me a new set. He used my original ones for a pattern to make the new ones, so if anybody wants a new set just like the original ones, they might talk to him.

 

The reason I originaly asked if the hood blister was paint or a decal was because the renegade decals offered by Goldeneagle are $179 for renegade 2 and $99 for renegade 1. Couldn't understand what the big difference in price was when the side decals are the same.

 

This is what my parts book shows:

 

The blister on my 71 was painted. I'm actually trying to find a paint code for the charcoal black paint. I can take pics if someone needs them but I've already started restoring the Jeep so it's pretty well torn apart.

I would be interested in the paint code for the blister also. If you find it please post it.

Because Renegade IIs are SO much more classier and you pay more for class items R)R)
Being serious, it makes no sense to me why there would be any price difference. Order a set, and then we will all know.

Sparky what all did he say about the wheel well pads? I have never heard or saw of any on a Renegade II and my first thought was that they were a dealer option or something. But the material and the way there made is just like my factory dash pad. I just know for sure mine never had them.
Did you get a serial number from him?
