    REbuilding or replacing a MC2100

    I have a completely good running, rebuilt 258 with 0.030 overbore, mild cam, and hedders and a crappy 1bbl carb. i'm going back to a MC2100. problem is the only MC2100 i have left on my shelf is 1.21 venturi. Is it possible to convert that carb to 1.08 or is that built into the body of the carb ?

    Passenger seat too far forward and too high

    I not sure there is anything i can do about this but I just finished getting my '85 back on the road and when I installed my seats the passenger side, which is flip forward seat, is further forward and higher than the drivers seat. It makes it very uncomfortable, is there another bracket for...

    Flares ???

    What are people doing for wider flares on a CJ8? (4" - 6" or so) I do not want to cut up my Scrambler for a set of flares but there must be another solution. I've tried YJ, Xenon, Bushwacker and nothing seems to fit without modifying my tub, unless I'm not looking at this right. Thanks, Drew

    1/2 Hardtop Gasket Seal ?

    Isn't there supposed to be a gasket or some rubber seal between the 1/2 hardtop and the bulkhead? I've not been able to find one, or even find one advertised. What do yall use? My roll bar seatbelt mount holes are about 3/4" high on the seatbelt holes in the top and this seems evidence that...

    Uppers for 1/2 hard doors ???

    OK, I just put a half hardtop on my Scrambler and it looks really good. But the uppers that before fit on top of my YJ half doors and my soft top do not fit with my hard top. Is there a soft upper that will fit with the half hardtop? Anyone know? Surely as popular as the half hard doors are...

    1/2 hardtop windshield bracket ???

    Is the 1/2 hardtop windshield bracket available? (aftermarket / OEM) I just noticed that the old top I just bought does not have one. This is the piece that must bolt to the top/inside of the windshield frame to hold down the top to the windshield frame. I overlooked this when I bought it. I...

    1/2 Hard Top Measurement

    How many sizes of 1/2 cab hard tops were made by AMC? I've just purchased one with a huge hole for a back window and I've seen them with a much smaller hole. Mine is drilled for shoulder belts. Now my real question, when ordering a sliding rear window, is there more than one size to be...

    YJ springs to lift a CJ8

    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...

    Wide tires / flares

    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...

    Cross bar Original top

    I have an '85 with Original soft top. I have all the hardware with the exception of a center cross bar that extends across left to right over the doorway. The reason I know I'm supposed to have one is that the top shows wear there where one was. I could have one fabbed but wanted to try for...
