Hi all, I go to a lot of car shows, haunt the internet, etc looking at Cj's and other rigs. The 8's have come down in price a little bit from a few years ago (when they were going for 12 to 17 k on ebay).. but i think that was just a market correction... 8's were (imo) way to overpriced form...

Hi all, am looking for a now defunct STC soft top. A gracious member of the SOA has one he might part with and has been nice enough to contact me. Its the full top with the cloth doors. I want to run my full hard doors (factory) with the soft top. Did STC make 2 different tops for with hard...

I went to my Daimler- Chrysler dealer today and put in my order for a new 07 4 door Sahara. loaded, with all the goodies, i spent about 27k. I got to thinking. i have that much in my 8 and it is still a somewhat base vehicle (you guys know what I mean.. always needing something, some...
