Deacon61, I have a brand new still in box Kayline Belt rail top in black I am willing to sell. I live 1/2 hour south of Knoxville. I am asking $900 for it. I also have installation instructions in a pdf file for same. I can get some pictures if you are interested. I have some full soft doors in...

oops oops attached a pic this time...

our 2 brats Here are our two dogs Ginger is yellow lab mix 10 now. Chase is a red tri Australian Shepard now 6 Both are rescue dogs. Ginger came from a family friend that has 2 special needs kids & one more so just could not take care of her. She was dog agressive. Chase had a nasty habit of...

Need help? What you talkin' 'bout? First you have to admit it is a problem. I did recently come to a revelation that I have too many projects so I am selling off some of them. :headbang: This way I can maybe get to my rebuild on my 85 before I die! LOL

Well CJ-8s were made from 81-85 so it ain't a 78. Also not an 88. So couple things- it could be a 232. Also someone could have switched VIN tags. Always with a Jeep ya never know what POs have done! I know my friend had a Jeep CJ with 232 & I had one in a Gremlin. They are good motors still. If...

Well we went on vacation headed to Kentucky & about 6 hours away from home some guy looses control trying to avoid a retread. He slammed into the front of the camper & caused us to jack knife! In process we hit his son traveling in front of him & in left lane (we were in right lane) and moved...

Josh, AWW MAN! So sorry to hear about it. I met that dog when we swapped seats. Yes hardest thing we ever did here too. We didn't have anymore dogs for almost 6 months then started taking in rescues. Our boy was a big Aussie red merle about 70 lbs (which is HUGE ofr an Aussie). I was scratching...

Glad to have you back! Too bad about the chicken welcome home "gift" (little bass-turds)! :evil: I too was thinking about you & the Scramble in your back yard. I was being a counselor for foster kids then sent to Altanta GA for some training. But I talked the Avis guy into a Jeep Wrangler JK...

And you were right! It came n handy for you & for us! Thanks. :cheers:

see if you can do a compression test of cylinders. That will give you a good idea what shape it is in. I think PSI should be between 120-150- the higher the better. :cheers:

HAMMER & CHISELS???? :eek: BATTERY POWERED TOOLS! :drool: :woot: Wish there was a yard like that around here. That Scrambler tub looks to be in better shape than some of the %$@ I have! :eek:

well not to hijack the thread but sounds like you could use a diagram too. Does anyone have a nice diagram or pictures showing the proper fuel line routing? It would be most helpful. :fingerscrossed:

WELCOME! I would do the Classic parts. They are made heavier than OEM and fit it good. I have known several people that have used them & all were very happy. Now as for rear cross member, There is a guy in Indianapolis Trout Industries that said he could ship me one for $65 + shipping and was...

4.0 head I bought my 85 with a 4.0 head on it already. A buddy had a CJ7 with a stock 258 (since swapped to 350 pushing 400 HP :woot:). The 4.0 head adds LOTS of punch! Supposedly the gears are 2.73 & I can spin then with T176. It is possible the gears may have been changed but the stamp on...

definitely a better choice than torx head but I still prefer a nice hex head. Even if they get a little rusty, a good 6 sided socket will go over them & usually not round them off. Course any metal bolt will rust eventually. Stainless is also a good choice because it doesn't rust like ferous...

some have learned evil tricks for removal! :bow: For doors, windshields & tail gates hindges, use a heat gun to warm that area good but don't blister the paint. Factory used blue loc-tite on threads & the heat loosens it & then a breaker bar, the right bit and gentle presure USUALLY will let...

So if this is posi (limited slip), then this is sweet! But is it gear driven then cause I don't see any clutch packs. I know the front Dana 30 from this Jeep has a gear driven limited slip. Hopefully this one does too & I will use them in my 85 rebuild & put the solid axles & warn hubs in it. :D...

TWMattox- If you wanted to try to get it up and running...you could have my rear AMC 20... Otherwise, it is going out for scrap. Rear AMC 20? What gearing in it? :thumbsup: If polar doesn't want it I might be interested. Or if he does, my son attends school in Columbia @ Mizzou so I might...

When my head lights went out on my 85, it turned out to be the connector to the dimmer switch. The connections had gotten bad & generated enough heat to melt that plastic connector. I had a spare on a parts Scrambler I spliced in & everything was good. I plan to convert to relays under the hood...

WOW! lots of posts since just this afternoon! That will teach me to go enjoy some nice weather! I am interested in the dash with clock & tach but looks like I am third in line. I might be interested in the roll bar too. If it is a wide track, then it has the holes & inserts for shoulder...
