Where did that extra long door come from?

It is 1 of about 28,000 CJ-8s made. Maybe 3,000 Laredo trims were made, but that is a wild guess. The cost of a Laredo CJ-8 was about the same as a corvette of the same era. Therefore not many were made. The CJ-8 is already somewhat rare at least for a jeep. That said, they are not...

One post and no return?

I would say the -7 for your combined vehicle. Then put the -8 title with a salvage frame and tub, that would be best overall roi.

Not to be skeptical, but are you a human or AI? There are several parts of your post that point me toward an AI agent.

I tried a jack shaft opener, it was was more trouble than I wanted to deal with. One of the major drawbacks is it does not pull the door down, so if it does not have enough weight in the vertical position it just unwinds the cables from the pulley. I tried the spring pushers mounted to the track...

These JLs drive great. My ‘23 was a Sahara and it was a smooth ride (for a solid axle suv). That was until a TRE wore and gave me death wobble. Once that was replaced it was back to smooth. As great as the ‘23 was, my current ‘26 is just amazing. It is a Moab, so the larger wheels make it even...

Tommy Lusco? @Jeep Addict

There are freeze plugs, I don’t recommend removing them though.

For context, the 392 JL does not use the 4:1 transfer case gearing because the brakes would be to weak to stop it. That was one of the reasons given by a engineer on the development team. Having too deep of a crawl ratio can be bad as well, depending on the use case.

Fairly sure that one went thru Dennis Collins’ hands at one point. @Jeep Addict was that your postal at one point?

I’ve got a camper in central TX on my deer lease. I’ve tried all kinds of mice deterrence, only thing that works 1) glue traps everywhere 2) rattle snakes I tried the bucket trap with all kinds of attractants on the wheel. The mice would go right past it and straight for the un bated glue...

I know it is not in the same price range, but I thought this would make a good trail fix welder. https://badgerwelder.com/product/f22-flux-core-portable-welder/ It is expensive, but so are some of the engine mounted solutions.

You been waiting to watch LSU games?

You don’t have any metal recycling places around you? I accumulate my steel until it is time for a trip to the yard. Usually get at least a tank of gas out of the scrap each time. My best load was around $7,000. But that was when prices were way up and I was cleaning out the remains from a...

I always catch more hardhead than anything else, but most of my fishing was around surfside.

Surf or flats boat? Love some fresh red fish or snapper.

Pretty sure they applied the undercoating after the full assembly. Got that stuff all over the Overlander. Axles, brake lines, fuel lines, wire harnesses. Like a rubber asphalt mess.

I use a gastapper. It was not a cheap option, but it has come in very handy. It is noisy with the click-clack pump. It comes with all kinds of adapters to allow bypassing the various tank fill restrictions. https://www.cycleworld.com/sport-rider/review-gastapper-standard-siphon-pump/ Once...

That is awesome! Have you tried the new joint in the old rod to see if the threads are compatible, or just planning to swap the whole thing from knuckle to knuckle?
