Hi again. Anyone know where to find a stock shift knob for the column shifter? Also, the shift indicator on mine has seen better days. Is there another vehicle from that era that I can salvage those parts from? Thanks. -Mark

Hey, all. Anyone have or know a good place to purchase a set of the chrome Laredo rims? I might have a few items to trade, too. I am restoring and would like to put the chrome OEM rims on "Bessie". I have watched ebay but not much action in that area lately. If this is not the right place...

Thnx! Thank you much...those were the documents I had, once upon a time. I apprecriate it. -Mark

Hi all. I am sorry to bring this one up...it has been a few years since I have posted on this forum. Another addition to my family and economics have kept me from my restoration of my old Bessie until recently. Anyway, I could have sworn years ago I got some information from this site...

Looks great! How well did the slider install? I am wanting one of these, too. I had noticed that they sell the same gasket whether you got the Type-A or Type-B glass and wondered how well the "uni-fit" gasket worked...I will need a Type-A slider for mine. Sincerely,

Hello, all, an update. The holidays did not help much with my Jeep restore, but I can't complain. It was nice to have the whole family together. A friend has been helping me out and we got "some" things done in recent weeks. The interior door cracks are fixed and most of the undercoating has...

Sorry for the delay...the holidays mostly kept me away from Bessie. I will try to post some pics of the rear frame by the end of the weekend. It is outside in the rain at the moment, but I am hoping to roll it in this weekend. Sincerely,

Hey, has anyone tried to make a purchase from the CJ-8 store lately? I have tried twice now and have been dumped out or lost items from my cart while going through the process. I emailed yesterday, after the first attempt but haven't gotten a response yet. Any help would be appreciated...I...

I recently pulled mine during the tear-down for restore of my '8. It was really not bad at all, much simpler than working on a more modern door. If you are used to doing general fix-it work on your Cj then the window should be no problem. With the window down do the following. Remove the...

Eek, I have to think on that one! What happens when the interior door is open (at right passenger door) and the fresh air knob is closed (knob in)? It seems, on first thought, that at driving speed the incoming air from the outside has a much higher velocity than the air flow produced by the...

Thanks, Scott. I checked Oreilly's online but the rsx 17008 for the rear gives no results. I have not dropped by the store in person, yet. The rsx 17007 gives a result on their website...are you sure on the numbers? Not so much questioning it from you, I just want to make sure on the numbers...

Hey, Kohldad. Are you talking about where each dash mounted cable connects on the heater box components? If so, let me know. I documented where each cable connected to when I removed them, but I do not have my notebook in-hand at the moment. I might even have a few photos from my tear-down...

Hey again, Tom. I don't want my roll bar coated either. I have already pulled it out as part of my tear-down. Just plug the tapped holes with rolled-up tape or whittled wooden plugs prior to putting down the liner or putting the bolts back in will be a major problem. I would suggest to...

Hey, it took me some patience and regular searching on the web but I found a nearly flawless one for about $100 online from a private seller. This is sometimes a risk but "better judgement" usually prevails. CB has always seemed nice when I have talked to them but they are very "proud" of some...

Hey, I know this sounds like a silly question but where is a good place to get the Rancho RSX shocks for an un-lifted '8? I have checked 5 of the usual online Jeep parts places and find several listings for the newer Jeeps and for lifted CJ's. I know I must be overlooking the obvious but any...

Hey, Tom. On a few other threads and photos on this forum it looks like some folks install the bulkhead then apply the bedliner, basically sealing it in. Others have said they shot the bulkhead seperately and installed it after the whole tub was shot. There was one thread here in particular...

Oops, overlooked your link...let me read your other thread again. Sincerely,

Sure thing, Over2land. Just let me know which ones you want. -Mark

Cool, my brother got me into Spitfires. He has had the same one for about 25 years...mainly not running or being stored. He likes the TR6, too, almost bought one a few years ago. They are more rare and costly to get into than the Spitfires though. He has been "restoring it for years". I...

Great, thanks. When I source them both I'll post the source. It'll be a while before I am back at that point of the re-assembly, though.
