I have some side rails I got from firemanhank but my '81 did not come with them so my tub and rollbar have no holes to mount them. I've got to drill some holes I know, but ? is do the holes in the rollbar that accomodate the side rails forward have sleeves welded in them or are they just bolt...

Well $50 sounds like too much. I would, however pay $25 per heat shield if I could get 4 of them installed. I would want 2 between each header downpipe and the firewall and another two above each muffler where it comes in close contact with the floor in my CJ8. I've got a 360 in my Scrambler...

I have an '81 now as well. I've had an '85 for a couple of years that is really clean and without rust but needs paint and a drivetrain. Just waiting to get some of these other projects off my driveway as my wife is claiming that one for hers and insist on an automatic tranny, which I'm...

By the way Grantshire, when Michael came to swap axels with me last week, he brought down a notebook you had put together on factory specs on a Jeep. This has been really helpful and answered a lot of questions for me. If ever I can do anything for you let me know. I'm really enjoying the...

OK, I found some rear CJ springs off an '85 CJ-7. Put them on the front and with the MORE shackle reversal it's just about right. I may add a leaf later just to get back about 1/2 to 1" more lift but for now I'm pleased and it seems to clear the 33" AT's. I will be selling the front OME...

How much lift will 2.5" wide stock YJ rear springs give on the front of a CJ ? Due to my MORE shackle reversal on my Scrambler I need 2.5" front springs but don't want as much lift as I have now. I have removed my front springs which are Old Man Emu springs with about 4" lift, but only want...

You thought about using some cast-off radio speaker grills ?

Yeah, Kohldad said it best i think. From an engineering standppoint it makes sense to me to put a heat shield over the exhaust system over the cat and the muffler, and if you have a V8, as in my CJ8, too much heat is coming in on my feet from the crossover pipe which I will eliminate when I run...

Well you can if you like, but the difference in the front and rear IMHO is insignificant. I would not waste my money on spacers unless there is something to be gained. I"ve owned this Jeep since December and I have never noticed it until I measured it yesterday, it's certainly not been evident...

Well, not sure why yet but my '81 is WT on rear (57" wms/wms) and NT on front (54" wms/wms). I've emailed PO to find out if he put rear axle on later but have not heard back yet. I figured they were both WT as they don't look any different, but I measured to make sure. Or maybe this was a...

What year did they first put Wide Track axles in Scramblers ? Did they put NT axles in CJ8's at all ? Drew

Actually that pix looks pretty good to me. Is that running TJ's R & L reversed ? Or is that wide YJ's you're using ? Did you get by without cutting the sheet metal ?

What do others do when they run wide tires ? My stock CJ flares aren't wide enough, I've tried the TJ rears and they do not fit either. I"ve actually got some Xenon CJ-7 flares and the front works great, but not the rears. I don't want to cut any sheet metal either just to make some fit. Just...

Well we met in New Orleans and the showed me the title first and it did say CJ-8 Prototype, 1975. But when he showed me the pix it was obviously a CJ-6. At first when I told him he seemed dissapointed as he really wanted a Scrambler, but I talked to him this past weekend and he's bought it...

I'll find out more in a couple of weeks. We're meeting in New Orleans on another business matter. He's promised to bring pix and a copy of his title. Drew

Have a friend in El Paso who is going to look at a 1975 Jeep CJ-8. Now after the daze wore off he read me the title information. It does say 1975 Jeep CJ-8. He's going to look at the jeep this weekend, give me VIN# info, measurements, view the frame, etc. I've have 2 Scramblers, a '81 and...
