I sold my Scrambler on Sunday. Thanks for the advise, info, and camaraderie. I've been pretty active on this board for several years and made some good friends as a result. Once our boys came along the Jeep sat in the garage more and more. It had not even been registered in three years. I...

^advice^ Well feeling pretty bummed. I have been suspecting that I had a busted 2pc axle. It started chattering and slipping under heavy takeoff acceleration. I pulled the driver side axle and sure enough it was sheared from the hub. So I bought a driver side axle, gear oil, and diff gasket...

I realize this isn't Jeep related but I thought some of my fellow Jeepers may be interested in following along on my adventure. I'm going to attempt my first blog. I will be making an eight day river trip through four states in our little fishing boat. Plan on doing daily entries with...

I followed Dennis' lead on this project but thought I would share in a separate thread for future reference. Not much to it. I used some engine degreaser in a few spots to clean some grime off the mat, then washed with Dawn dish detergent and let dry. Next, I used a small foam roller to apply...

Looking for links or advise on a column repair. The last couple months it has been getting tough to get ignition switch to turn back and stop the jeep from running. After wiggling, pushing, pulling the ignition switch it would finally "un-catch" I would be able to press the lock button a remove...

Most of the regulars have slowly seen progress on my 84 for the last couple years. I had polished the exterior last year and just got around to the interior and bed. I hope you guys aren't burnt out on poser pictures! I have also added new tires, painted and put decals on the front hubs, redid...

Definitely a "limited edition".

I finally found a Gates heater hose that will eliminate the need for the 3/4 to 5/8 adapter. For some reason Jeep calls for a 5/8 heater hos from the water pump to the heater core, but the water pump is 3/4". It also has a preformed 90 deg bend. Gates #18075, if you look up the heater hose on...

I am in the process of replacing my water pump and radiator. Well it started out I was replacing a noisy water pump. When I went to drain the radiator, the drain plug weld cracked. The radiator is old and worn so I plan to replace instead of repairing. Does anyone have any recommendations? I...

When to a new yard today and found 10+ Waggys and J trucks. Ended up getting 3 radio's, a Marchal fog light, fog light swich/pigtail, and an arm load of other odds & ends. All this for $60! I haven't tried the CB yet. The bad news is the radio on top will only work on the left channel. I have...

Thought I'd share some of the current vehicles at a yard that I frequent. I have picked over most of these vehicles already. There was a new Waggy that I got some stuff off of today, someone beat me to the radio and fog lights. The grey cj7 has a really dry clean frame. I got the carpet and...

Bought a new boat a few weeks back. It's a 2004 Smokercraft 16ft. I'm really excited to get back out on the water again! I also put a new grill and a set of NOS fog lights. Usually I don't buy NOS stuff, I try to find really nice used stuff. I consider my old Jeep a nice driver and...

When I first bought my Jeep, a friend dumped the clutch and we heard a load pop. I thought it must have been the trans mount. No issues or noises in the last couple years Today I gassed on it fairly good and the rear end popped real loud. not a backlash type pop, but something gave kind of pop...

Though some folks may be interested. http://www.bangshift.com/blog/Dana-Corp-Rolls-Out-New-Crate-Axle-Line-From-the-30-to-the-80-They-are-All-Available.html

Many of you folks remember when I first bought my Jeep in 2009. I had grand plans for a frame on resto with new paint. Most of you suggested that leave the original patina-ed paint. Then my DD car bit the dust and my resto fund was depleted, so instead, I bought a buffer and compounds. I have...

Before Putting the vinyl on I replaced the door glass and all the window seals, cleaned and greased everything on the doors. I didn't bother taking many pictures because Jeff did a great write-up on this not to long ago. https://www.cj-8.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22240&highlight=door&page=66

My wife and I have been on a seven day cruise to the Roatan, Belize, Cozemel and somewhere else. Tropical Storm Lee has hit New Orleans and they have closed the port, so we have been going in circles for two days out in the middle of the gulf. They are now saying we should make it in on Tuesday...

Anyone going to the Grand Rod Run in Pigeon Forge next month? My wife and I are going Friday and Saturday. They say its BIG, we've never been.

I'm going to have some Marchal fog light mounting brackets cut on a water-jet. Can someone that has a rare set of originals post some dimensions so I can draw in AutoCAD? Center to center hole distances and radius's. Do they have a bend or are they flat? How thick?

A couple weeks ago I decided to replace my dash pad. When I folded down the windshield I decided I might as well tackle the cowl seal also, after I took it off I thought I might as well replace my old windshield. I spent an entire week removing tons of old silicone that a PO went crazy with on...
