Renegade Packages Page

My Renegade I was repainted in the early 80's when the original owner let it roll down a hill and hit a tree stump. It bent the bumper and radiator support. He decided to let his insurance pay to repaint it. They taped over the original decals. Any good sign shop should be able to copy the decals if you take them a pattern. I plan on making paper patterns of mine and getting an extra set made. I post an update when I get them done.

Ouch!! The upside is that the repair looks great. You mentioned in your list of Renegade features that courtesy lights on the dash and in the rear fender wells were provided. I heard of the dash light before but where exactly are the fender well lights? Is it possible to post a couple of pics of them?

 

In the album Tom showed pictures of ' Special sales order No. D- 5261' Do 70 Renegades have a Special Sales Order tag also? Would the tim tag that Tom showed in another picture denote 'Renegade'? Were there special Renegade paint codes?

Sparky, I think this information should be added to the 'Renegade Information Page' This is the type of thing a guy looking at a Renegade would need to know to identify it.

 

Sparky:
You may want to add AustinJeeps.com to the "other places on the web" They offer correct repos. of Renegade I and II decals.

 

AustinJeeps.com has correct repo Renegade decals, Sparky, you may want to add this site to the page.

Good work,

 

The Ren II I just picked up has a tag on the passenger side that is stamped "Special sales order No. D-5262." Are these sequential, or are they paint codes, i.e. 5262 denotes Yellow, 5261 denotes orange, etc?

 

The paint and trim codes are on a separate tag (metal foil type) and are 3 digit numbers. The paint code will always be 999 regardless of color for the Renegade I and II. At least this is what I've found to date.

 

Really? So is does that mean this "Special Order No." is sequential? It seems highly unlikely to me that I would happen to find the a JEEP exactly one digit off.

 

you had about a 1 in 600 chance...... go buy a scratch ticket

 

Sorry Clint, I don't follow. The early Renegades were all special order to the best of my knowledge. I've seen some with the tag you described and some without. I've also seen the same or similar tag on non-Renegades. I don't know if the Special Order numbers are sequential (seems reasonable they would be) but I don't think they provide any detailed information about the vehicle production unless you had the corresponding build order from the factory. jpflat2a would probably be the best person to shed some light on this for you. Wyomike, an original purchaser of a RII, is another good resource. Good luck!

Here are the pics of the gages that you asked about:

Also a couple of years ago I made up a quick spread sheet of item on a RII and I think you have pretty will hit everything on your page that I had.

Here are a couple of comments that I have on this tread:

Mine did not come with any special order tag. I have seen them on regular JEEPs and I tend to think that they had nothing to do with Renegades. That is not to say that a Renegade could not have one however.

On the bottom of the page where you list places to get decals, you mention Frank Sanborn. His decals should be very acturate as I lend him a set of originals that I had. Way back in 1971 when I bought my JEEP, I ordered a FSM and a set of decals with it. (don't remember why?) I loaned them to him to make his pattern. Very NICE guy.

On my wheels, I have had a lot of guys ask me for a mod. no. or something, but the only thing on them is:
"AMERICAN RACING EQUIPMENT K.A. (71) MADE IN ENGLAND"
Thats it sorry, nothing else. Also they are 15 x 7 and had L70-15 tires on them original.

If anybody needs anything else, just let me know.
Great job Sparky. Hope you relize the apprecation we have for you for the site.
