    Steel hood or fiberglass?

    All personal preference really. I have had both and the fiberglass hood like identical in every way when it was lowered. In general the metal hood never seems to rust so even if you live in the north like me they are fine.

    Weak points for Dana 30

    Light duty wheeling and 33 in tires or less you can leave it be. Mine held up for over 20 years with no issues other than regular maintenance and a seal or two.

    You are 100% on the mark Moabite. I have owned most of the smaller trucks and 1 F150. I prefer the smaller trucks all day long. I had a 1993 Ranger, 2002 Dakota, 2005 Colorado and a 2011 Tacoma. I all of them did exactly what the 2011 F150 did and did it well. The only thing the F150 had...

    What degree shims do i use with the RE 4.5 lift.

    Unless you have a CV drive shaft I would leave that as/is. With a shaft that has on two joints you want the angles of each joint to be as close to equal as possible. This is needed because it helps cancel out the vibration. So basically if your top shaft is at 5 degrees down then your bottom...

    Disc brakes locked up

    How many states have you driven your -8 to/through?

    I drove my CJ-5 in 18 states but the CJ-8 has only seen 2 states with me. Sadly I only put a couple thousand miles a year on the CJ-8 since it never see winters and the family doesn't like to take it on long trips.

    46 CJ2a

    Nice project with a solid body. So the frame looks fabricated from square tubing. Was that home built by the last owner or from a company like Matkins?

    None. The Wranglers have always been driver side front output vs the CJ passenger side output.

    Original paint '81 Scrambler. Go for it or run away?

    What is the price? I think the Jeep is in good shape other than the repairable sections of rust and it is all their including the rare side boards.
