    1981 Forest service Scrambler.

    That, too. I think this is probably a Toyota or some foreign make. Body is wrong, too. A Jeep decal doesn't make it a Jeep.

    Strange looking door hinges, mirror, door handle and lock!

    Another Scrambler Purchase/Road Trip - UPDATE- BODY ON FRAME AGAIN

    Opening is the same. Probably the same for TJ also. Uses a separate rubber that you see from the inside.

    Another Scrambler Purchase/Road Trip - UPDATE- BODY ON FRAME AGAIN

    And that is why I like to have a CJ windshield replaced with a YJ windshield. Rubber is already sealed to the glass and it gets sealed onto the frame. Nice job with the CJ rubber.

    Cj8 door opening

    If you have nothing, then maybe get a CJ7 or YJ tub and extend it. Or buy some of the panels for a CJ8 new and fabricate the others. Buy the time you locate some doors you will probably find a tub for parts that will make the build easier.

    Cj8 door opening

    What are you starting with? Can you take a picture of what you have now?

    Cj8 door opening

    What measurement would you like? Once you get the width of the opening correct your doors should fit.

    Cj8 door opening

    If you measure in the door jam from the center of the top hinge to the point where the latch post comes out, it should be 35 1/4" according to both sides of my wife's very original Scrambler.

    Alaskan Postal Scrambler Rat Rod !! Opinions and Ideas Requested

    If you can't find a rear door, you could use a CJ tailgate or a YJ tailgate and then build your own upper either lift hatch or two swinging doors. If the blind spots are a problem, put window in. Just do what is going to be fun and useful for you.

    Cj8 door opening

    Same as a CJ7 or an 87 to 95 Wrangler.

    LJ roof rack fit for CJ8?

    Looks like a nice rack that you could pile a lot of stuff on. If you aren't using a full top the back legs probably could be made to mount at the base of the roll bar. Barrys is right, it is priced for the person with the rare LJ that wants that style rack. Looking on Ebay, new roof racks for...

    LJ roof rack fit for CJ8?

    A picture of the LJ rack would get more input. I think they mount on the windshield hinges and the back bumper. You could probably extend the rack in the center somewhere. Some racks are made to be assembled and would be easier to take apart and extend. You just need to take a good look at the...

    How to figure out my gear ratio?

    If the gears haven't been changed, you could look on the machined spot next to the cover and find the Letter/s stamped there and that indicates the gear ratio. Find the Letter and who ever sees your post first will look it up for you.

    1981 CJ8 Project “Penny”

    Most, but not all, of my customers who order steering wheels, grab bars, and bumper end caps are on the east coast. That makes shipping for these boxes such a big expense. No one ordered any the first time I offered these so I just figured the total cost would be an obstacle. Joe makes these at...

    1981 CJ8 Project “Penny”

    400 for the pair. 50 for me to box and take to FedEx. And the shipping will probably be around 115 each.

    Yes. My neighbor/welder will make them from my pattern.

    Cj-7 Wagon Laredo

    I like the grill & fender guard. Haven't see one like that before. And there are those bumper extensions like I reproduce. They seem to be standard on exports. The CJ-7 Wagon just might be the hardest to find of all the 80s CJs.

    Windshield gasket and frame issue

    The windshield opening is the same in our CJs as it is in YJs and probably TJs. When I go to the glass shop I have them order the later glass with the rubber lip already on the front side of the glass and the separate extruded rubber that goes on the frame first. My wife's Scrambler has the...
