Very nice looking. :popcorn: WHat is in it for drive train? :D

Oh yes- some possibility about the V8- some options were not factory but dealers used them to make extra dollars. So it is possible the dealer might have been added at a dealer. Or it might have been added later by some PO. A buddy & myself just bought an 81 Scrambler to fix n flip & it has a V8...

Let me try to give some input but also qualify my input. :fingerscrossed: Based on what I am seeing the good thing is motor runs & does not leak. From the pics, I would estmate a value between $800-1500. This is based on what I have bought Scramblers for as well as what I have seen other...

I have a couple of them here & no it does not have welded on tabs. It is a mirror of the passenger side one. The outside edge is flat and the insdie has a contured bottom rail to match the conture of the tunnel. This is true for both seats. The bottom rail closest to the doors is flat. I have to...

and Josh forgot to add he is stripping his Scrambler but also planning a wedding for June! That boy is busy! :evil: :cheers:

I havn't used them yet but need to on a couple of my Scramblers. I think the under roll bar supports I bought from Jim (Jim's Chop SHop) came from Classic & they are nice heavy metal. I have heard other good things about Classic parts too. The guy I bought my 85 from rebuilds Jeeps & uses them...

RESTORE? What for? :shrug: It looks good the way it is! But that is the curse of the addiction- always want to do a bit more, add another trinket, etc. :fingerscrossed: Seriously- looks real nice. Much better than any I own! :evil: Enjoy & yes post the pictures so we can follow progress...

The front cab floor is the same in a CJ5 & CJ6 as is the door opening but the CJ6 has an extra (I think 10 inches) in the whel base & rear metal. The YJ & CJ 7 & 8 all have the same front floor including the transision piece where the floor raises. Then the YJ & CJ7 are the same except for I...

I gotta side with cbford- unless it has a big problem work with what you have. Yes the stock 304 does not have much more power ut the mods mentioned and kick it up quite a bit. As usuall, it is all about the money. :evil: My buddy & I just bought & picked up Saturday an 81 with a 304 & got it...

My buddy & I just bought this Jeep to fix n flip. It has this brush guard that looks similar to ones I have seen in pics that might be an OEM Jeep part. Can anyone tell how to determine if this is an OEM brush guard? We do not want it so are looking to sell it. I think old CJs look better with...

Welcome & yep seen worse- in fact I OWN worse! Check out the Resurrection Scrambler build thread & see for yourself. No goats though- I would prbably eat them. :eek: When you get it home, take lots of pics for yourself and then you can compare with ones you take along the way & when you finish...

OOPS! I clicked the submit instead of advanced to add photos, still asleep at the key board! :crazy: first 3 are tools I used & last 2 are of actual work results. Also will need a BAC to run the air tools (BAC= Big A** Compressor!) :eek: :cheers:

My build thread has some pictures of a cheapo Harbor Freight bit (4.99) that I am using. https://www.cj-8.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31450 It works well for the cost. If it slips sideways often enough it will break off some of the teeth. There are 2 cutting surfaces- one on each end of the...

Maybe the cat though :evil: AMEN! Preachin' to the choir but you know some people think we will burn in (U know where) for even reviling the strange beasts! :cheers:

I used a cheapo Harbor Freight 90A 120VAC welder for the beginning of this and it worked OK. But it only has a 10% duty cycle (1 minute of welding requires 10 minutes of rest- sorta like I am starting to feel like! :evil: ). On some of my longer welds it would stop cause it over heated & I...

not sure if someone else is supplying the labor but obviously much more & with how bad the frame is to start. But check out my build thread for Resurrection Scrambler - I am doing the work myself but have around $200 in metal. I did not shop around for metal suppliers or hit the scrap yards. I...

Finally remembered to bring my camera to take some fresh pics of progress. My buddy whose shop I am in suggested I bring in my blue tub & start on it at the same time. Personally I think he is laughing at me! :evil: Anyway... after looking at what I have, The white tub has a salvagable floor...

It might depend on the brand of hard top. :shrug:

the 4 lb difference is nuttin'! Another thng to consider. My son who has always thought in numbers measured several sets of tires I have had as well as some of my friends Jeep tires. A firend where I am doing the tub work on the Resurrection Scrambler build has a CJ-7 with 32 X 11.5 X 15. It is...

I run a set of Trxus 31 X10.5 X 15 on my 91 YJ and they work fantastic. I was very surprised how quiet they are on the road. For a chucky as the tread looks, I have had several sets of BFG tires & these are quieter. Also echo the good (G R E A T ) performance in the snow. Probably would work...
