    Hi-Ho “Silver” Build and Adventures

    Those covers were done right. And the installer did an excellent job, too.

    I've got it on its side. All glass is good. Fiberglass is in nice shape . . . one small chip on the hatch under the driver side handle. Rubber around the fixed side window has shrunk. I think the center handle mechanism got stiff and the outer two handles were added. If you are interested, $900...

    I've got two Acme full hardtops. I've been meaning to try to get a picture of the one in the storage bldg. It's black and in decent shape. It could use some fresh paint. It is unusual in the fact that it has 3 handles on the hatch. The gray one on my wife's Scrambler has two. Some only have...

    Steering wheel part # 10.283

    Keep in mind there are two different ones. One like in your parts diagram that fits the 3-hole per spoke wheel in the 70s, and the one that fits 80s CJs and YJs. The difference is in the openings that fit around the spokes. Openings in the early ones are wider to fit around the wider spokes.

    What's on your Work Bench?

    Yesterday I made a console pad in Slate Blue for someone who asked for it. I also finished up a Honey Laredo horn button for another request. Did Jeep ever make a Honey Laredo interior? I covered a Laredo wheel in Honey leather and so I made the horn button to match. This one I cast the allen...

    Which upper doors do I need?

    Looks beautiful! Sounds like the windshield needs to lean back farther to match the uppers. New cowl rubbers can be dense and hard to compress to allow the windshield to come back. YJ uppers will probably have the square back corners and the CJ tops should have the rounded back corners. Have...

    $25 7" H4 Headlight Upgrade Kit

    My headlights came today. Probably didn't cost much more than bulbs at the parts store. Very generous with the tie wraps, too. A few years ago I paid more for a relay and wiring kit to do this without bulbs. Members on here have passed on a lot of great deals available. Thanks to all of you.

    My '81 journey. . . so far.

    Sounds like you bought it without actually seeing it. Must have been a good price. Big plus on the steel body. You've really been working steady on it. Congradulations. Pictures?

    SJScrambler - Getting Started

    Probably wouldn't be too hard to use the CJ hood and cut the Willys grill to fit. Lose the Jeep lettering on the cowl and maybe add Willys lettering to the hood sides and tailgate. Lots of choices. This is your design so do what you envision.

    1981 Forest service Scrambler.

    That, too. I think this is probably a Toyota or some foreign make. Body is wrong, too. A Jeep decal doesn't make it a Jeep.

    Strange looking door hinges, mirror, door handle and lock!

    Good tip. Ordered 2 from Express also. Thanks.

    Another Scrambler Purchase/Road Trip - UPDATE- BODY ON FRAME AGAIN

    Opening is the same. Probably the same for TJ also. Uses a separate rubber that you see from the inside.

    Another Scrambler Purchase/Road Trip - UPDATE- BODY ON FRAME AGAIN

    And that is why I like to have a CJ windshield replaced with a YJ windshield. Rubber is already sealed to the glass and it gets sealed onto the frame. Nice job with the CJ rubber.

    Cj8 door opening

    If you have nothing, then maybe get a CJ7 or YJ tub and extend it. Or buy some of the panels for a CJ8 new and fabricate the others. Buy the time you locate some doors you will probably find a tub for parts that will make the build easier.

    Cj8 door opening

    What are you starting with? Can you take a picture of what you have now?

    Cj8 door opening

    What measurement would you like? Once you get the width of the opening correct your doors should fit.

    Cj8 door opening

    If you measure in the door jam from the center of the top hinge to the point where the latch post comes out, it should be 35 1/4" according to both sides of my wife's very original Scrambler.
