81 Barn find w/ 10k original miles

This is the best part. The cleaning and preserving and grinning the whole time ;)
 
Looking great, sounds like Snoop Dog knew what scramblers were worth.
 
Can anyone tell me who's Scrambler this is? I'm looking to get info on those rims. I might want to buy a set. It has the same look as the stock ones on my jeep but wider. Currently, the stock rims are 5.5" wide. I'm wanting a 8" or 10" wide rim that looks like the ones in the photo. Cheers

Whats the story on these rims from that web page
They look closer to what im talking about. Do you work there? Thanks Johnny
 
Ok! Finally get a full day of shop time! I picked up a new fuel pump. Dropped the fuel tank. Going to blow out fuel lines.. Question; whats the best way to clean out sludge and rust from this tank? Ive googled several ways to do it but I'd prefer to get advice from experienced scrambler junkies.
 
Also..im ready to buy new tires. 31 x 10.5 x 15... Im opting for all terrain and would like input on which brand is highly used on cj's..
 
I go with the General Grabbers. They have the same tread as the BF Goodrich's but are cheaper. Unless you do alot of driving, they will dry rot before they wear out.

Not sure it's the best way but get a piece of chain a foot or 2 long drop it in the tank.
Get some water in the tank and slosh around, repeat, repeat until it's clean and free of debris.
Remove chain, then use air to blow in tank to try and get as much of the water as you can out.
Then get a few bottles of rubbing alcohol. Put one in at a time sloshing around to help get rid of water, repeat blowing tank with air.

I assume the 4 banger has the stock carb? If so there should be an internal fuel filter where the fuel line connects to the carb.
You may want to temporarily rig up an inline filter until your sure all the crap is out of the fuel system.

Cool, Thanks Jason. I installed the new fuel pump and did the Clear inline fuel filter so I can do a visual on debris. I noticed that snoop dog removed the fuel filter in the carb and never put anything back??? When I opened up the chamber I saw debris which appeared to be thin rubbery material (like gasket stuff from a tube).Would this cause a problem? Do I need to clean out the internals of the carb due to this? I read that there is a check valve coupled with the internal fuel filter. With this cause trouble not having these installed?

After trying the whole tank cleaning thing I quickly bailed out on the tank. Ordered a new one. Also decided to order new fuel lines and sending unit. I picked up a OEM 81 Technical Manual from eBay (Actual manual not a reprint) It was 55$ so why is Collins brothers selling reprints for 99$.
