1983 Restore in Ga 4bt cummins goin in now

I think my wife is gona need some kinda old jeep now. The whole time I was building this I tried to talk here into getting a cj or a yj so I could work on them both at the same time but she said she didn't like old ones. Well today makes the umpteenth time that she has came to the shop and TRADED with me so she could run her erronds and pick up the kids from school in MY jeep. Just venting
 
What's hers is hers and what's yours is hers. That's how my wife and I have done it for 29 years. Just last month she said "I love my scrambler!!!" Huh????


 
Very Nice! :thumbsup:

Once your wife gets used to your... errr...her Scrambler, then you can start a Pink one with 60s & Coils! :bacon: :wave:
 
Love the CJ8! I gotta tell you I hate red but that looks awesome! I mean really awesome!! I was hoping you would paint it blue ( my favorite color) but the red looks great. The 4BT is my favorite engine! I have an 88YJ with a 83 OM617 and AX-15. I am a generator tech. I work for a Kohler dealer. I work on a few older generators with the 4BT. My second favorite engine for a Jeep would be a John Deere 3.9L PowerTech. Anyways can't wait to see it finished.
 
I got some 8 lugs for it today, will post up some pics after I start cleaning them up.
 
I am taking some, but right now I am just cleaning up the 8 lugs stripping off perches and shock mounts and painting, Boring labor intensive crap. When It get serious and the parts start flying I will post some up.
 
He gaducker,

Did you do anything to your gas filler hose? I made the hole bigger, but didn't change anything else and it takes forever for me to fill the tank because the flow backs up and triggers the shutoff.

I opened it up with a hole saw as big as i could squeeze in there and ran it through as far as i could before i started hitting the sides of the filler tube. In a vice off the jeep.
 
Ok Its been a while Since I put some pics up but she now has 8 lugs and H1 hummer wheels on it, Its not quiet ready to hit the road but its a lot farther along than it was 7 days ago, Every time it goes down for more than a week its like Christmas morning when I get to drive it again..









 
ALOT higher, 6 inches soa and 2 inches of tire, went to soa and from 33 inch tall tires to a 37 inch tall tire.
 
Looking good man! Yours sits even higher than mine now! You running spacers up front? I'm daily driving mine and getting around 20-24 mpg still. Those tires do not ride the best at highway speed, but they do well enough. I'm taking my rig wheeling this coming labor day weekend to test it out.
