    Reproduction build tags?

    Hi guys, While trying to decipher what the code on my frame crossmember meant, I began to become really annoyed that my scrambler doesn't have a build tag (never bothered me before, but now it does....). Does anyone make a reproduction build tag? Is there any way to find out the as- built...

    Frame code translation?

    Clutch mechanism problem and question

    Hi all. My 81 CJ8 came with a Ford 302/sm465/ Dana conversion. I'm pretty new to the Jeep world; my experience is solely in Land Cruisers and Holdens, which have hydraulic clutches. My clutch is probably the most difficult clutch to operate smoothly of any car I've ever owned, including many...

    Factory tire rack vs. Bumper rack

    Hi guys, I'm sure this has been done to death but I'd love a quick thought session from you lot. My CJ8 came without a factory tyre rack- it was mounted on the roll bar. I just bought one and I'm cleaning it up for powder coat. I love the way they look and I like how they are tight...
