I have a half hardtop from an 81 without the holes for shoulder belts. Previous owner had a full hardtop and must have installed a newer rollbar as it has the bolt holes needed for the shoulder belts. Can someone tell me the size of the hole I need to drill and any advice on how to get a clean...
Ok, so I took my console apart to clean and add a new coat of paint because it was faded. Now its ready to be put back together but for some reason I can't seem to fit the hinge right (no laughing)!! Can someone post a picture for me of the hinge on theirs so I can rivot it back together...
I ordered a replacement antenna for my restoration and the holes for the screws don't match up. I guess there were more than 1 type of antenna used? Can anyone tell me what antenna mine had? I've replaced my '81 tub with an '83 and did not keep the old antenna. Here's a pic of what the holes...
I'm working on my 4.0L swap on my scrambler and I'm having a wiring problem.
Here's some info first about my swap. I've got a OBDI from a 92 yj, I built an intank fuel pump into my CJ tank, got a CPS relocation kit and am running the manual harness with my T-5.
There are 3 wires to make...
I've had trouble getting the 4.0 to run right, it starts rough and struggles to stay running, sounds like the timing is not right. I had tried to add the crankshaft sensor into my bellhousing for th T-5 but I think it is off a bit. I've bought the CPS relocation kit from Hesco and have pulled...
I've swapped my 258 for a 4.0 during my build. I built an in-tank fuel pump using a wrangler pump and a CJ sending unit with float. I also modified my T-5 bellhousing to accept the crank position sensor. I mounted the engine, wired it up and had it running before I got the body back from the...
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement cable for the power supply to a 4.0 fuse panel from a 92 yj? I broke the fitting, see the pic for what I need. Any help/advice is appreciated as always. Thanks,
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for an 81 scrambler? I've swapped in a 4.0 and I have it running when I hot wire it using just the 4.0 wiring harness but when I try and tie it into the scrambler bulkhead and start it with the key nothing happens. I'm positive I've tied in the right wires but...
I am restoring my 81 scrambler and I bought a tub, fenders, grill, hood from a 82 to swap out the rusty body. When I try to put the fenders on they don't fit right, the shocks hit the inner fender. The fender has a cutout for where the shock should go but it does line up, whats up with that...
Can someone help me? I've got my clutch all back installed except for the return spring that attachs to the throwout lever and the ? Anybody have a pic they can share or an explanation? Thanks,
I need to replace the filler and vent hose on the fuel tank. I have an 81 with a 15 gallon tank I'm restoring and I bought the CJ replacement hoses online and of course when I got them I realized that they were about a foot too short because they're for the CJ7. Does anybody know where I can...
While attempting to install a 4.0 into my scrambler one of my motor mounts fell apart. I was trying to use the stock 258 mounts but they are shot. Can someone tell me the best place to get replacement mounts? Thanks,
I've had my tub sand blasted and etch primered and am getting ready for paint. I'm going to do the inside with a bedliner but was thinking about doing the bedliner on the underside too. Has anyone done this or have any comments on why or why not this may be a good idea? Thanks,
I got a bestop tigertop full soft top a while back used off ebay. I downloaded the install instructions from bestop but my hardware is different. Attached are pieces that don't show up on the instructions but they appear to attach to the front bows. Anybody have this same top with this...
I have a black full besttop tiger top with snaps that I bought a while back off ebay. Does anyone have one they could send me a pic of on their scrambler. I'm not sure that I like the way it is setup and want to see a pic before I install it or any feedbacl too. I'm pretty sure I'm also...
After taking the summer off from working on the scrambler, I've finally made some progress and its starting to look like a scrambler again. I've taken all the vacuum associated things from the engine and put almost everything back together. I'm sending the body to the bodyshop sometime in the...
I just bought a replacement body for my scrambler. The body doesn't need any bodywork and has no major rust issues but the previous owner had it media blasted so there is no paint or primer. It sat garaged for about 2 years and has surface rust. I've been talking to some paint shops and they...
A previos owner covered up the rust on the rear of the frame with some angle iron. I cut off the angle iron to see what it looked like under and plan to cut out the rust and weld in some new metal. I was actually pleased because it looked better than I thought it would, I think its a good...
I've been working my way from the front of the frame to the rear to get it ready for paint but I've put off the holes in the back long enough! A previous owner took some angle iron and welded it over the rust holes and then welded the spring hangers to the angle iron. It works ok but I am...
