When storing the radiator, should it be filled with coolant to keep it from rusting or can i just store it empty. It may be a while before it has a purpose again and i don't want to ruin it with rust from just sitting.

it was recommended to me that i look at Jegs for a possible new engine for my rebuild. Does anyone have any experience with this engine? What modifications would be necessary to fit with the A999 auto trans and dana 300 that i would like to reuse? I dont want to go crazy, HP wise, but want it...

original post : https://www.cj-8.com/forum/showthread.php?35214-accidentally-bought-another-one Those were my thoughts many years ago when i was just beginning my house restoration. Now it is mostly done and here we go with my first ever jeep project. I found out my early assessment of "not...

I am getting ready to begin Prepping the new/used frame for replacement on my '83. What are your opinions on frame prep, paint, coatings??? What is the best stuff to use to put off the inevitable as long as I can? I have heard I should drill holes to keep the frame from collecting water...

Does anyone know if it is possible to get just the glass from a headlight assembly? I dont need the whole assembly, just the glass for a project. If not, is the glass removable from the assembly? has anyone tried this or know? thanks, Scott

After getting hit by a crazy lady a couple years back, I have grown increasingly nervous about driving with my precious half back seats and lap belts. I want to add high back seats with a shoulder belt for safety. I know I can drill through the roll bar and retro fit a shoulder strap but I...

While I have neither the cajones or the death wish to put myself in this situation...I thought it would be fun to see some pics of situations that maybe...juuuust maybe you shouldn't have gotten yourself into.

Just paid $750 for this....Mostly because i wanted to keep him from parting it out. Like I needed another long term project/financial pit. I actually looks nicer than it is. The frame is a mess, gas tank is falling out and it has body damage from where the idiot i bought it from pushed it...

I found a local scrambler for under a grand.:shvil: It has some body rust And the frame is likely shot. I think I can get it for 700 dollars. It has a straight. six that may or may not run. I would either be sell it Or sell it for parts. Although I would rather see it be saved. Is there...

You guys know about these? Its sitting at a local jeep dealer for 60k. A buddy took the pic for me. He asked the dealer and said it was called an xj-8. I have plans to stop by and find out more when i have time... but maybe you all can save me the trip. Thanks

I could use a little advice in the arena of frame repair. I just found a hole in my frame at the front /rear shackle mount, drivers side. Is there a place that makes a frame repair kit for the scrambler?? I have found them for wranglers and cj 7's but not for the scrambler. THanks for...

Background: When i bought my 8 in '01 i had always had a vision of taking it back to the way it sat on the show room floor. I bought it as a restoration project but over time has become a preservation project. I concider the jeep to be in fair shape compared to many origionals i see but rust...

Saturday was a sad day... Turning into my hunting property a lady in a cherokee tried passing me on the right. As she slammed on her brakes and skidded into the yard she clipped the right front side of my jeep at 40 mph. Her skid marks measured 45 feet long on a dirt road. She, of course, got...

Thanks for any help you can give. Do the origional whitco 1/2 cab tops need a "bow bracket" or "bow Socket" or both to install? If so, does anyone have a picture of either or know where they can be purchased? I really need find this out. Thanks

Hey guys... In case you are looking, I just listed my 1/2 top and doors on ebay... these are in REALLY nice shape and could be a good finishing touch for a nice jeep...

Just curious as to how much use the winch will get with those fancy wheels underneath. I hope he's careful pulling himself out of the Starbucks parking lot. :) The things people think are cool. Sad :banghead:

Technically we both shot it. She killed it at 15 yards with a singe shot 20 guage, but since it was still running I dropped at 70 yards with my grand dads old muzzle loader. How a deer runs 200 yards and keeps on going with a hole that big in its heart I have no idea. I know we have a bunch...

My mentors, My machanic says I need a "12 bolt; 40 tooth ring gear, 14 on the pinion". Apperently mine has ovalized and is causing the CA-LUNK that happens whenever I back up. In any case is this something that one of you may be storing and wanting to sell or am I better off getting one...

4 of years ago, I was a learcher. Just looking about and trying to find out what was going on in the lives of other scrambler junkies. After learching long enuff to find out that this is BY FAR the best group of jeep guys around I joined in 2003 and spent a couple of years visiting here at...
