I blew a coolant hose a few months ago cruising down the highway. Thankfully it was only a mile from home. I replaced both hoses and as recommended, the water pump. Also got my self a 'new' half top and bulkhead from a member here!

Yes you can. You need to search for parts for a scout diesel. They are not cheap. Parts are not cheap..

Where can I find more info? Interested in future dates, location etc

Through some insurance on my Scrambler and I've been driving it. I blew a radiator hose on the highway about 2 miles from home. Got it home under its own power. Bought new hoses and spent a whopping $13 for a new water pump. Little at a time... Also broke down at the parts store. Starter...

Found out I need a new starter in the McDonalds drive through this am. Gave everyone a show push starting it in the parking lot.

I'm new around these parts..:wave: Anybody have a build where they used a 5.7 truck Hemi in their Jeep? I see a lot of LS stuff which is the more economical way to a modern fuel injected v8. Hemi stuff is $$. I guess I'm more or less looking for a CJ Hemi swap info. I had a 05 WK with a Hemi...

Believe it or not, the actual owner never got to drive it! He lives 200 miles from where it was stored! As for the water pump. Good call. I wouldn't of thought of that one. It also leaks of course out of just about every seal under the hood which is to be expected. I'm hoping to get working on...

The steering joint at the box is thrashed. All the TREs and the steering box feel tight.

Yesterday was a good day. Getting ready to roll out! Made to the gas station! 70 mph on the highway all the way there. Zero issues. Ahhh that feeling.... So the only things that I've done to this Jeep is drag it out of the barn where it had been sitting for at least 10 years, new fuel...

Wife has a Patriot now... I think I like the Cherokee better. Specially the Trailhawk but 35k... Ouch.

Couple pics. I did finally get it washed up about a month ago. New tires too off a parts XJ I bought last winter. Firestone AT 31/10.50. Wifey approved! Washed up

FINALLY got plates and a title coming for my Jeep today! Can't wait to go for a legal spin in it tomorrow!

Thanks for the kind words fellas! Refreshing to find a enthusiastic group! I plan to drive it and enjoy it as soon as it's safe and legal!

Also would like a CJ8 top, instead of a modded CJ5 or 7 top someone put together with screws and silicone.

Jeep was owned by a friend of mines brother. He bought in 2004 with intentions of fixing it up. Those plans went nowhere and it's been sitting in a pole building since. He actually never drove the jeep. My friend owns a '81 he's had since 1985 and it's a very nice 8 also. He has not done much...
