    Scrambler junkyard alert in NY

    I was at Gary's U-Pullit in Binghamton NY today (http://garysupullit.com/), and in their prep yard was a silver Scrambler. I couldn't see it too well because the fence to the prep yard kept me 200 feet away, and it had other vehicles close around it, but I couldn't see why it was at the...

    You would have to ask them about that. I've designed it so that it can be molded for YJ's, CJ7's and CJ8's, but I don't know if they have any plans to mold those. Someday I'll get around to molding a CJ8 top in my molds, but I've been too busy so far

    A fiberglass OEM replacement bulkhead is already on the market, it's sold by Gr8Tops: http://www.gr8tops.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=70&Itemid=106.

    Actually that's a thread describing the fiberglass "Safari Cab" design (pictured below), which is made from fiberglass, not the Jeep factory World Cab. The Safari Cab and the World Cab look somewhat similar, pictured below are both. Here's a link to more photos of a Jeep factory World Cab...

    Since all of the trails I did, including the Tincup Pass Trail, are officially forest service roads or county roads, they're actually in my GPS already. But I did download some free topographical maps of the area so I could add scenic waypoints to the trails using the Garmin BaseCamp software...

    I just got back from a trip to Colorado, I was off-pavement for about 250 miles over five days, plus the about 4000 miles on pavement en route from upstate NY to Colorado and back. - Crossing a creek just off the Marshall Pass road, I am heading for the alleged town site of Chester, which I...

    tj front clip on cj8

    If you want it to look right, a lot more is involved than just drilling new holes for the hinges and "swapping the cowl". The TJ has a removable cowl panel but the CJ doesn't, so "swapping the cowl" would involve a lot of bodywork on the CJ tub. I'm currently building what I call a "CJ Grille...

    Here's a TJ-based, CJ-styled nearly all fiberglass pickup concept that uses parts from all of my big fiberglass projects so far - the Safari Half Cab hardtop, the trailer kit tub, and the CJ Grille Conversion Kit for the TJ/LJ. The truck is basically the same size/wheelbase as the AEV Brute...

    Only a few days actually... the side panels and roof are exactly 9" longer than the LJ version, the rear panels and barn door upper would be the same (assuming a Wrangler tailgate), there's a different (but simpler) windshield header piece for the CJ/YJ (which I've already got), and minor...

    New World Cabs?

    Yes, it involves several generations of Jeeps ... I call the project the CJ Grille Conversion Kit for the TJ/LJ Wrangler. It's a custom CJ hood/CJ fender set that enables you to install a factory CJ grille on a TJ; the custom parts blend the lines and curves of the TJ tub and cowl into the CJ...

    New World Cabs?

    Actually when I wrote "I don't have a Scrambler to put one on" I meant that quite literally - I don't have a Scrambler, my current Jeeps are the LJ (with a Safari Cab) and the Retro Wrangler. If I ever own another Scrambler, you can be sure one of the first things I'll be doing for it is...

    Johnny, I haven't molded any Scrambler versions of the Safari Cab yet, I don't have a Scrambler to put one on :). jeff

    New World Cabs?

    Carl, I built a the full set of molds for the LJ Safari Cab about $500, that's what it cost me for materials only, I made the molds myself in my garage. The molds I made are light weight and can make perhaps a dozen parts before they start to deteriorate, production molds usually run 5x-10x the...

    New World Cabs?

    Unfortunately I think that's probably the right business decision for Gr8Tops. I've tried to come up with ways to make the Scrambler version of the Safari Cab available on a custom basis or perhaps as a kit of raw parts that the buyer could build, but I think it would still end up being more...

    Here's one of the things the Safari Cab can do that other fiberglass hardtops can't... The RTT is mounted on the XJ Cherokee rack channels I've got installed on the roof, using Surco XJ rack channel adapters and the crossbars that came with the tent. The rear barn door can open under the...

    I do have a drawing from an instruction manual for the AC install that may help you, PM me your email address and I'll send it to you. Don't have the Scrambler anymore or any detailed photos, sorry. jeff

    I've done some research on the sizes of trailers available at places like Harbor Freight, Northern Tool, etc., and it seems there are two common sizes that might make sense to throw fiberglass tubs on - 4'x8' and 40" x 48". These trailers are very affordable as well, and come in several load...

    New World Cabs?

    Here are the approximate dimensions of my as-yet-unfinished interior: There's no problem with the length, and the width might be a slight squeeze, but I think a queen futon would fit on a platform just on top of the inner fenders. I've already talked to a company that makes them ;).
