    LHD CJ8, with Isuzu diesel for sale in Austria.

    Hey guys, haven’t been on in a few years since I sold my Scrambler to a firefighter in Clarksville TN. Ever since then I have wanted to buy another but I live overseas and it’s a PITA to ship parts, let alone if something breaks. Well...I found this one on a local car website over in Austria and...

    New to Florida!

    Hey guys, how's it going. So I'm not new to the forum, it has just been a long time. I was the only member in South Korea, but I'm now back in the states, just outside of Jax, Florida. The Jeep...Well she is getting rough, but I've rebuilt or replaced almost everything on her back to original...

    Blown engine, head hurts, need help!

    Hey guys long time no talk. So...My 2.5 blew the other day on the way home. Exactly what the damage is at this point I don't know. I have a "my guy" tearing it apart currently as I write this. At the same time I'm scouring the web. Do I just rebuild, or swap now? Swapping has always been on the...

    Please help! Noise in 3rd and 4th on in 4wd

    I hate that every time I'm on here is to ask for help. Seriously one of these days I'll get another car so I can get this done properly. Anyways... First big snow in Korea last night, so this morning on my way to work, I put it in 4H and off I go. I notice that in 3rd gear about 25mph I have...

    Help! Engine stalls.

    Ok, so the engine stalled a couple of weeks ago after about 15-20 mins of driving. While I'm driving if at a reasonable speed it has hiccuped and continued going (again about the same amount of time). But at lower speeds/rpms It died altogether. The first few times it did this, it would not...

    Tranny whining

    Hey guys, It's only in 2nd and 3rd that whine. No problems with 1st or 4th. Haynes manual says it's a chipped tooth on the gear set. Anyways, is there a complete rebuild kit that I can buy out there? Remember I live in Korea and want to get this done right the first time. Please help when you...

    Half Cab Windsheild mounting

    Ok, so it's starting to get cooler over here now, and I've reinstalled my half cab. Unfortunately when I got the 8 the previous owner had used self tapping screws to hold it in place. (The cab wasn't aligned correctly so he used those to get the the bolt holes on the window frame.) My...

    Heat/AC Vents

    I've seen a few pictures of CJ's with Heater/AC Vents mounted underneath the guages. Usually a set of three horizontal rectangular vents. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know where I can buy these? I think they look ok and have to work better than my current nonsetup of directing air or...

    Axel Identification by visualization.

    Alright guys, I've been searching all day on how to figure out what axels I'm running just by looking at them (mostly). Since I was not able to find the pictures and stuff I was looking for on here I've included some websites that I thought would be helpful...

    Tire Carriers

    Since I've gotten my Jeep I was wondering what the two holes on the right side roll bar were for. As I was going through the repair manual (a little lght bored reading material), I noticed that it says that is where the tire carrier attaches to. I have a spare tire attached to a rear tail gate...

    Shortage...

    So not to highjack the other thread any longer I've moved to here. I replaced the relay this weekend. And after a very weird arc/jump from my room mates dodge the jeep started right up. The battery is gone. I let it run for an hour and it's completely dead. But, when I moved my Jeep I noticed...
