Not sure if anyone's posted about this yet... recent article in Diesel World Magazine: "DIESEL JEEP – An “All-New” CJ8 Scrambler". If it's been posted already I apologize. https://www.dieselworldmag.com/features/diesel-jeep-an-all-new-cj8-scrambler/

I came across an ad for Race Sport lights in Dub's LFTD&LVLD magazine with this CJ-7 World Cab in it. The World Cab has definitely been hacked a bit, those aren't the factory side windows, and the doors are standard CJ round corner doors, so they've done some mod to the side panels to convert...

Today Terry (trust) and I were on the same trail here at EJS. Terry was the tail gunner, and I was near the front of the line so we didn't get any photos of our Jeeps together on the trail, but here's his outstanding CJ-8 next to my LJ-8 at the end of the trail. BTW if you've never taken a...

Not mine. Not sure what category to put this in so I put it here, Eric please move it if there's a more appropriate place. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Jeep-CJ-8-Overlander-4x4-Brochure-Catalog-4WD-5-6-7-Renegade-Laredo-Hawk-/251650278156?ssPageName=ADME:SS:SS:US:1120

I know it's not a CJ-8 so maybe it doesn't belong here... but here are a few photos of my just-completed LJ-8 project. On the back, an LJ-8 emblem:

Rented the movie In Frozen Ground at Redbox last night, look what made a cameo appearance: Movie takes place in Anchorage, it's about a police investigation of a serial killer, this shot of the Jeep lasts less than 10 seconds, it's not central to the story in any way. But nice to see a...

I was at Gary's U-Pullit in Binghamton NY today (http://garysupullit.com/), and in their prep yard was a silver Scrambler. I couldn't see it too well because the fence to the prep yard kept me 200 feet away, and it had other vehicles close around it, but I couldn't see why it was at the...

So now it's time to decide what I do next; I've got about a month of stuff to keep me busy but in January I'm sure I'll be bored and looking to start a next project. Here are a few possibilities I'm considering, but I probably won't make a final decision until sometime in January. These aren't...

Can you put a World Cab/Postal Top on a Wrangler Unlimited? I've been asked many times about this, so I finally took the time to document what's required. You can decide whether the answer is yes or no after you read this post. :) Here's a drawing of a World Cab on a CJ-8 and on an...

Here's a few shots from today's wandering around SEMA. We have to start with a Gr8Tops top on a LJ, Daystar was displaying it and it was in the lobby of the South Hall, right outside the Truck and Off-Road section. (Matt: I'll email you some more photos within a few days) There were maybe a...

For a while now I've had this wacky idea that I'd like to design and build a hardtop from scratch. Back when I was working on the all-metal World Cab conversion for the Retro, I worked out a design for fabricating a new hardtop from steel with the idea that someday I'd build one. Now that I'm...

I've seen lots of coverage of the basic J8, and I'm not really a fan of the awkward look of it, but I ran across a photo of the J8 ambulance today... this is cool... can't you just see making a wicked expedition camper out of this?

Anyone going to the Jeff Daniels Jeep Show on September 26? I'm thinking of driving the Retro down there. http://www.jeffdanielsjeeps.com/events/details.php?id=31

I just found this photo of a World Cab on another board - it was in a thread about how they build Jeeps pretty much from scratch out of junk and recycled parts in Pakistan. They've put rear windows next to the barn door, and I don't know what they've done with the mismatching side windows...

We all know about the dreaded door cracks that appear just below the rear of the went window, but recently my doors were not closing with the solid "thunk" they used to when I first rebuilt my Overlander, and I discovered that the striker brackets were cracking. These cracks caused the door...

Because of my CJ-8 World Cab, I get lots of email from people wanting to know where they can buy World Cab hardtops. Of course you know the answer to that one... But I had an idea tonight, it's not quite a World Cab, but... with the body sheet metal from two DJ-5 postals you could build a...

vdiesel7981 sent me a PM asking for details on how I mounted TJ side steps to my Scrambler frame. I'm posting it here in case anyone else is interested. Since the Scrambler/CJ frame is narrower than the TJ frame, the arms that the steps mount to have to be lengthened. To do this I used a...

Found this on eBay today, it's a Brute hardtop on an Unlimited. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-Wrangler-Unlimited-Awesome-Conversion-Scrambler-Look-a-Like-only-36k-miles_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6285QQihZ013QQitemZ230300755202QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

For the past few months as I've been focusing on building my Retro Wrangler pickup, I've completely neglected the Scrambler. I've been using it for my only daily driver and there's been no time to treat it nicely. For the last 6 weeks I was parking it over cardboard because of a leaking power...
