    New Cage Installed - Scrambler Restomod

    Ok, for those asking, here are more pictures of the installed cage. The A-Pillar is supported at the dash panel as well as at the floor. The B-Pillar is bolted to the 'step' between the front portion of the cab and the bed area. This is where it would be on a CJ-7, so we couldn't use the...

    New Cage Installed - Scrambler Restomod

    No, not the ebay family cage kit. I saw that when I was shopping around, but something just didn't look right to me...the shape or something. I couldn't put my finger on it. Plus I was unable to find any customer/reviews or really any information at all on it. I purchased a CJ7 kit from...

    Introducing my Silver Scrambler Restomod!

    Here's a couple of pictures from when it was at the dealer. But, yes, the front drive shaft has a pretty good angle to it, both sideways and downward.

    New Cage Installed - Scrambler Restomod

    I'm going to put this in a separate thread, probably over the upcoming weekend. But, I want to get rid of the following parts all at one time. They're just taking up space, and I'm not looking to make any money on them, but I also don't want to just throw them away. - Original Hoop - great...

    New Cage Installed - Scrambler Restomod

    Thanks for all the complement guys! I'll be putting the passenger seat and rear seat back in on Friday or Saturday. I'll take more pics showing how it's mounted at that time and post them here.

    New Cage Installed - Scrambler Restomod

    No top planned. I may get a custom spiderweb shade made just to block out some sun, but that will be all.

    New Cage Installed - Scrambler Restomod

    Finally got my new cage completed and installed. Came out great. For those who may remember when I purchased this restomod over the summer...it had the factory hoop and strapless bikini top, which looked ok, but didn't really seem all that strong. (BTW - if anyone wants/needs a factory hoop...

    Hey - not sure if you're still around. But, I came across your CJ-8 build. I'm also in the Austin area, and I'm trying to find someone to build a nice sporty roll cage for mine. I can't find any information on "Cactus Custom Metals". Can you point me to them? Thanks, Ed edwartha@gmail.com

    Introducing my Silver Scrambler Restomod!

    I know a lot of you saw my thread as I was considering buying this Scrambler. It's mine now and in my current garage (we're building a new garage on our property.....to help with my car-buying addiction!). 1982 Frame-off Restored (Restomod). Probably too much stuff to list, but here are the...

    Restored Silver CJ-8 in Nashville

    Thanks. I've owned it for about a week now, but will have it in my possession tomorrow! All the transport guys I talked to seemed a bit too flaky for my comfort, so I'm dragging my car hauler up there, driving through the night tonight.. Load it up tomorrow morning and haul it back home.

    Restored Silver CJ-8 in Nashville

    Quick update - I bought it! It's a super nice build. It rode very well....even much less wandering than my JKU. Very impressed. I did find a couple of minor issues, but that simply gave me negotiating room. We settled on a price, and it's now mine. What sucks is that during this pandemic...
