    I am doing an 83 Scrambler restore. I ordered the hoses from 4wd.com that say they are for a Scrambler with a 15 gallon tank. After recieving them they are short. I am assuming I have the wrong filler neck? Mine is a shorter style. I took it off an 81 scrambler. Looks just like a Cj7...

    Lengthening a YJ frame to CJ8

    Has anyone ever taken two YJ frames and make a Scrambler length frame? The advantage being a more HD frame that is rust free. Let me know your thoughts. Its obviously not for a stock Scrambler but a custom build. I have never seen a YJ frame next too a CJ8 but it seems possible.
