I have a set I can part with. Send me a PM.

Yes, the pins all lined up with the inserts in the door. Although, I realized that these frames are missing the flat piece of metal that pushes the lower TJ seal down on the door. So, the lower seal is not really tight against the door. There is probably a 1/8” gap in some areas where the...

I decided to install the half doors with the hard top this summer and thought it would be good to have some soft uppers. I was going to modify the tj half door uppers to work with the yj doors by cutting and welding the metal frame posts, but lucked out. I bought a set of these tj upper steel...

The previous owner took out the fixed windows and installed vent windows, but the outer door skins were sagging and showing a gap to the vent window seal because of the missing support channel. I welded in a couple of U channels and re-installed the windows with all new seals. Everything is...

Finally getting around to provide some updates... I am eventually hoping to get duke out on the trails and wanted a place for storing spares and tools. Last winter I found this old Tuffy lock box on craigslist. After cleaning it up and adding some tie down points inside, I painted it and...

Thanks for posting this. I had ordered some a while back but have not installed yet. It appears that I mistakenly ordered a set for a CJ7. Don't trust amazon.com when it says, "yes, this will fit your 1982 Jeep Scrambler". I will be ordering a set from MTS as well....

So, I guess it's been a while.... I bought a Warn 8274 from Rosco1974 a while back and promised I would post some pictures once I got it installed. Well, it has been on the Jeep for a year now, but here it is. He gave me a great deal and even had all the parts cleaned before shipping. I...

:headbang: sweet!

:bacon:I fixed it! Ended up being a bad aftermarket coil. I took it off and installed an old original coil from some parts I got from jeeperdd. It runs great now! :bacon:

Thats what I am thinking too. I will take a closer look at the distributor, check timing, and test the vacuum lines for proper function. :shrug:

Last year the iron duke was running great. I parked it for the winter and did a bunch of suspension/driveline updates. I have taken it for a few test drives recently and the iron duke seems to be running a little off. My issue is that at lower rpm, the engine seems to bog down and feels low...

I decided it's time to start a thread on the build of my Scrambler. I had several previous posts in the Midwest section, link attached.... https://www.cj-8.com/forum/showthread.php?46474-New-CJ8-member-from-southeast-Michigan Specs so far; 1982 CJ8 Original Iron Duke ~51k miles T4...

I agree with you. I guess I wasn't 100% clear in my post, but everything went together ok and the axle shafts spin freely.

Everything went together ok. Looks like it will work with the thrust block installed. Axle shafts bolted on ok and spun freely.

I ended up going with 105 ft-lbs. I am thinking the torque specifications table is correct, and the procedure is possibly a copy and paste error from the dana 30. Now to shim the carrier bearings!

Good stuff, thanks for the pictures and links. I did some measurements. Stock open diff thrust block length = 1.5" Stock right shaft length from outer hub surface = 28.5" Stock left shaft length from outer hub surface = 25.5" Total = 55.5" Detroit Locker 187SL47A thrust block length = 1.42"...

Thanks for the info. My factory open diff has a thrust block. And, from what I understand this is necessary with the stock 2 piece axle design as the inboard axle loads are reacted through this thrust block. With this design, end play is adjusted by shimming the left side axle shaft. It...

Hey, Upgrading my AMC 20 with 1 piece Moser axle shafts and Detroit Locker. I have been doing some research and had a few questions. From what I have read, when installing 1 piece axle shafts, you need to remove the thrust block from the differential in order to prevent excessive preload on...

Here are some more details on the shocks. I found these part numbers. Anyone know if these are original? Front 32164# p137f Rear 31000 p034f

I am in the middle of installing my 2.5" YJ spring conversion with OME springs and looking for some information on stock shock lengths so I can calculate the ideal shock lengths for the new setup. I removed the original shocks and measured the following; Front Extended Length - 20.5" eye to...
