Looking at your design, would you have room for a grease zerk? With the bolt going through and all? Or are you thinking greasible bolts?

Thanks, Rock ... Just finished it back in December. Still new to me though and still working to get everything put away. Had plans to sheet the walls, but with lumber being the way it is, it'll get there eventually. Almost 10yrs in the making/ planning, it's good to finally have the space.

Not really Clyde related, but kinda ended up Clyde related ... I made a quick trip down to Houston to pick up a set of 3.54 axles for a different build and ended up with this hood as well. I could see the OEM paint and decaling under a rattle can paint job and thought I might be able to bring it...

I’ll keep that in my back pocket, Randy, thanks. Can you tell me if they offer partial harnesses? Like separate headlight/ engine/ interior? (I’m being lazy without looking them up.)

I’ve heard both outstanding and horror story reviews. For now, I'd like to try and use the harnesses I already have.

Looks like a really good base to start with. Only thing I'd say after reading through your post so far is, if you're planning on adding two rear seats, just plan for/ make sure you have appropriate anchor points for the seats and seat belts. I have a T5 in mine as well. While it doesn't have...

So last night after work, I decided to start working the engine bay wiring. I have a couple of wiring harnesses I’ve saved from other projects, so I started by laying them out on the floor. I know one of them is from an '85 and has all the computer and emissions connections etc. I'm sure that...

The frame is in dang near perfect shape. It has some rust issues under the footer of the roll bar in the bed, a couple of holes in the side panels and some in the drivers floor pan. I haven’t cracked the windshield seal yet to look at the dash or the cowl, but it’s coming, so we’ll see.

Thanks. It had a matching front bumper before I cut it off. Otherwise, it’s 99% original. I’ll work on posting some more pictures of when I got it ... I’ve already started on gutting the wiring. I’m also hesitant of the price tag after just buying this, but I reeeeeally want to throw down for a...

Yeeeeaaaah ... that’s not gonna happen. This Jeep has a story and it took 40yrs to get here. I want to preserve that. ... and maybe keep Clyde driving for a little while longer. A full frame off restore, imo, just starts the story all over.

I've been considering doing something similar to sure-up mine (on one of my CJ-7s) ... either doing sleeves like this or bushings. I just want to try and keep it from rattling so dang much!

Kind of a CJ-8 newbie, so sorry if this is a dumb question ... my googles searches haven't pulled up much. My question is about the kind of spare tire/ wheel that would found on the spare tire mount on the OEM roll bar... would it have been a standard chrome wheel , matching the rest of the...

Working a little bit here and there over the last few days, I've laid out what I think is a decent game plan. While I REALLY want to do quick things like take the wheels off, strip the clear coat and shine them up, new tires, sand/ buff the paint out, etc, I'm saving all that stuff for later...

Thanks. This is will definitely be a labor of love when it's done. (y)

Well, like I really needed another project going in the shop, but yet ... here. we. are. I picked up and brought home this one-owner (well, now two) 1982 Scrambler Laredo. It spent all its life down near San Antonio, TX before taking a brief “vacation” over to AZ, which is where I picked it up...

Thanks DeLuke. I sure will.

Thanks .... I see you're in Dallas ... We're over in Tyler. (y)

Definitely a real survivor. I picked up the later roll bar to do the conversion to 3-pt seatbelts for safety. I definitely plan on bringing this one back to driving status.

I have several CJ7s, but just picked up my first Scrambler. Looking forward to learning more about their differences as I dive into this project. Meet “Annie”, the ‘82 red headed step child I probably have no business owning, but it’ll be fun none the less. She’s a one-owner from near San...
