    Heater box and plenum repair

    Does anyone know what type of plastic the heater box and upper air plenum are constructed of? I did some research, and a few tests. It sinks, and it burns an orange color from the small sample I sacrificed. I can’t find any evidence of fiberglass. Could it be PE plastic? I would like to buy...

    Captured Square Nuts in Rear Floor

    I replaced the rear floor pan some time ago and just went back to prep for a fold&tumble seat from a late Laredo. The bracing from Classic is not in the same locations as the factory floor pan, which won’t really matter as the seat is a custom install and I’m using weld nuts and 1/8” steel...

    Poppet balls for twin stick Dana 300

    I am in the process of re-assembly for my Dana 300. LoMax gears, and twin stick conversion. I purchased the spring kit with single smaller ball bearing from J&B. The directions have me a little confused, and my searches have landed me all over the place . . . For those that have been through...

    Rear Crossmember Replacement

    Cutting out the old one next week, and installing the Classic reproduction. My ‘81 has L brackets poorly welded inside the frame rails. Does anyone know if this is factory? Most welds look like crap, so hard to tell.

    Steering Column Favorite Grease

    As I continue with rustoration, I pulled the column for de-rusting and paint. Everything is apart, and looks good except the two upper bearings were very dry. The ignition assembly worked fine, etc, but 42 years called for maintenance. What grease does everyone swear by? I cannot figure out a...

    Shocks for 5” lift

    I’m sure Rancho still makes something, but there is nothing on their website. Does anyone know the part number for an RS5000 or RS5000x that would work with 4” lift and 3/4” lift shackles. I have some rear 4” springs from my ‘76 CJ-5, and the skyjacker fronts 4” are cheap to get. It looks like...

    YJ pedal assembly swap

    Pictured from left: 1981 CJ non-power brake T4 pedal assembly 1987 YJ manual pedal assembly 1995 YJ manual pedal assembly I have not performed this swap, and inadvertently ended up with both 87 and 95 pedals.

    Aftermarket Windshield Options

    Is there a good steel one out there? Mine is pretty rusted, and mostly what I find online are complaints. MD Juan from the Philippines seem to be the better of the lot, but not in stock. Everything else seems to be rebranded Omix from Taiwan with terrible reviews. If someone had a repairable...

    Factory hardware for dash pad

    Does anyone reproduce these captured head self-tapping screws? The ones above the windshield are rusted beyond repair. Omix sells something not even close and I don’t see a match in the AMK bulk catalog.

    Horn Button

    I pulled the horn button off in the first step to diagnose the horn that has never worked on my Scrambler. I quickly realized that everything was functional without the horn button. I straightened out the slightly bent metal and cleaned everything up, but still have the same issue. This looks...

    Ford 7.3 Godzilla swap?

    I started looking into this, as parts are available to bolt to an NV4500, and this is a modular motor pattern. The ECM has not been officially released, but it will be soon. I can’t figure out how high the motor sits with the intake. Any info out there?

    CJ-8 Registry

    Whatever happened to the registry website? It looks like it has not been updated since 2010.

    1981 Technical Service Manual Help

    Greetings fellow Scrambler owners. I am not new to CJs, but new to CJ-8s, and new to this site. I recently purchased an all-original Scrambler that I am planning to upgrade, but keep original looking, as far as interior, paint and trim. I purchased a reproduction technical service manual from...
