If those are standard YJ doors, I've heard on here that TJ uppers work well but the front pin needs to be moved. Someone on here should confirm that.

A 4.0 with FI and the smog components that came with it works. You need an inspection and they put a sticker under the hood and you should be good. I did that on my Scrambler about 20 years ago when I lived in CA. Hopefully that hasn't changed.

When I read the title I was expecting to see a CJ grab bar. Drill bit is more unusual. Nice.

Easiest way, IMO, is to get wide track front and rear with sway bar and hangers and get it back to '82 and up stock. Depends if you want serious off road or highway enjoyment with normal off road. Pick your gears.

Didn't know there was a tool for that. I messaged the Ebay seller that sold it to me and he said there needs to be a "bullett" that goes between the MC and the booster. If I find out how long it needs to be I can make it. So should it be long enough to not have any play in it when there is no...

There seems to be a part missing or a different part needed between the MC and the booster. There is a small threaded rod (about 1/4") threaded into the booster. It doesn't travel enough to work the MC. I assembled what was sent to me. Does it need another part to thread onto this rod or did...

Thanks for the replies. I'll have him bench bleed it this weekend.

Not bench bled. I had asked about that but my friend/backyard mechanic said he didn't need to when using his bleeding machine and hooking it up to all wheel cylinders more than once. First Scrambler came out fine. Second one not so much. They are the GM looking MC with the 2 wire locks. Should...

Two Scramblers. both have new vacuum assist master cylinders and new lines and new wheel cylinders. My friend brought his bleeder machine over and put fluid in and blead both Jeeps. One has a stiff pedal and works fine. The other the pedal goes to the floor. No leaks. Would this be a bad master...

Thanks for the reply. I'll keep trying to reposition the switch.

Put a 304 in a Scrambler. Put TBI on it. Used electrical from misc Jeeps. First time starting it today. It starts with key in on position and I have to turn it off to disengage the starter. Tried moving the ign sw on the steering column but didn't make any difference. What would cause this...

Color looks great!

CJ7 doors will be getting pretty close to your fender wells. I think that is why CJ5 doors are made the way they are. Unless you plan to lengthen the wheel base, maybe modify YJ half doors to fit your opening for a solid door. Good looking CJ5. It'll be good to see what you come up with for a...

Put the rubber on the glass, have someone hold it up to the opening, and with the string already in the rubber channel and lubricated pull the string to pop the rubber lip over the opening as the inside person pushes against the glass. That's how I would do it.

Been prepping grab bars a little at a time over the last couple of weeks. Today I painted 7 of them black. More time goes into getting a grab bar ready to cover than getting a steering wheel ready. Bars need to be sand blasted, edges sanded down where the bars were sheared off, body filler put...

Finished the interior other than carpet. Overland is coming along.

If no one has been looking in the tool collection all this time, then you might just get lucky and find more 9/32 stuff.

Very cool. I've had Snap-on replace the heads in ratchets and once they traded for a new one. Great collectors item. If you want to use it you could make a short extension to adapt it to 3/8" or 1/4" or maybe swap in the newer head if it's the same size. I'd go for an adapter.

Started to install the door upholstery. Got an order for a Sand color Sport steering wheel that I spent the biggest part of the day on. Too big of a hurry to get it to the PO before they close to think about taking a picture of it. Glad many of you guys are out enjoying your Scramblers.

Been making up the door panels with pockets for the 1913 Overland. Got the button-tufting done. Won't be long until I can move on to the top.
