Didn't realize this post had worked. Phone internet is a pain sometimes I tell ya

Saw it out and about, doesn't appear to move much or if at all. I didn't want to door knock if anyone here owns it, or know who owns it amd it's not for sale. Thought I'd try to research it here 1st. I need it like a hole in the head, probably can't afford it if it's actually for sale...

I appreciate the replies. The steering doesn't appear that close when looking at it in person. Probably the angles, I was laying under it, and it's on a incline with the front lower than the rear. I never noticed the sway bar. I don't have one on my CJ7 at the moment. I had several hands...

It is. Made it from spare pieces laying around. Have never bolted a stabilizer to it though.

Thanks very much for the reply!!!!! I've been out in the cold trying to grasp what I need and getting numbers off the shocks on it to check lengths. The part numbers on the shocks come back through Google to fit a 82' and up. I'm thinking part of my harsh ride symptoms are the shocks are...

Thought I read it here, that the difference between 81's and 82's as far as shocks go, it's a height difference. The ones I got from Quadratec 6 years ago are toast. Its a bone rattling ride to work. I'm not entirely sure the springs I picked up off Craigslist couple years ago are...

You were eye ballin' my Scrambler then we chatted for what was probably a half hour. We talked about trading info on here. But I forgot your username.....:crazy: Thought you said your Scrambler was a 83'....... So if you come across this or someone knows ya, let me know, like to check out...

My ignition cylinder is shot, can start the Jeep with no key, and it's pretty worn out in general. Very loose. I picked up a new one. I've done this before, but it's been forever. OR at least 10 years. I'm stuck at the sprocket looking thing, after I pulled the wheel. I feel like that...

Bought some of the inserts for door hinges. Figured it was better than trying to put on washers over and over again. Inserts showed up and I could have sworn there was a thread here that stated it was best to chase the hinge hole with a certain sized drill bit to allow proper fitment of the...

This is actually on my 7 not on the 8, blaspemy I know.....but it's still a CJ :cool: The hard doors and hard top are not original equipment. I got them on last year, the fit was pretty decent but I'm cleaning it up and pulling the soft top today and noticed a gap I didn't see last year...

Tried several search options for sag, but can't find anything. Drivers door sags 1/8" to 1/4". Lifting it on the outside I can see the play in the hinges especially the bottom. What are you guys doing to fix this? I just repaired the inside handle and rods, just want it to close...

81', I've been using it for Surveying as our company in it's infinite wisdon won't get us 4wd trucks. It runs great, and has been flawless. 4L has been tough to get into, not sure it ever got used much. When I bought it, it was stuck in 4H. I soaked everything really well underneath with PB...

Dafaq is dis? Not sure exactly what I have here as it's labeled universal for 7's and 8's. I'm thinking the tube like piece runs across the windshield? I should have come here and asked 1st. :shrug: But for 30 something bucks I don't want to waste it!

I got our 81' last year. After doing a MC2100 and TFI on my CJ7, I did it on the CJ8. The ignition had never been touched, and the stock carb needed a rebuild. It sat alot after I rebuilt the MC2100 and put it on, and now that we moved, I'm trying to get it 100% ready for DD duties. Rebuilt...

Stock 258, sans smog gear, 2100, Team Rush ignition. Strats, runs, drives very well. Mostly. Carb set to rebuild specs for floats, idle set with vacuum gauge and is about 650rpm. Be driving along, come to a light or stop sign, and she dies. Same thing when slowing to make turns, as you come...

I picked up a MC2100 some months ago (Thanks Jeeperdd!) and finally rebuilt and installed it. The electric choke worked on the stock carb, and would like to use it again. I have a new spring I picked up, but I never took notice of which way it faced in the housing. I read a thread to flip...

Working on the gas tank on our 81'. I know it's fed up the passenger side to the pump on this and my CJ7'. I have a return line all by itself on my CJ7, it runs near my hard brakeline on the frame. On the CJ8, there is the hard brakeline, then 2 hard lines running next to it. One of those...

The 8 we just bought runs very well. It could do better though. :D I want to delete the smog pump, all those vaccum lines, install TFI big cap and rotor. Questions is for a 99% street driven Jeep, could the Carter carb stay? Seems like there are a dozen vaccum lines going to it. My others...

We've been Jeep owners a long time. Have/had 7's, Tj's, Xj's, and a XK as our family hauler. Distant cousin was handling a older gentleman's estate that we had known since we were young. Heard he passed on, waited a bit, made some calls, left some notes, and finally a deal was made for after...
