Hi there folks,

Brand new here, and pretty new to the CJ-8 world as well. A few years ago, I inherited a 1982 CJ-8 that was my father's. I've always thought it was very cool, and it was one of my dad's ongoing projects all throughout my life. I was in school at the time it became mine, and have just recently moved somewhere where I have the space to store it and work on it. It's little beat up on the outside, but it will run(most of the time). This Jeep really means a lot to me, and I'm very excited to learn more about it. I've never been much of a mechanic, just enough to do regular maintenance on my own vehicles, so restoration work is a bit of a daunting task but I'm hoping I can lean on this community a bit for some help. Just wanted to say hi, and thanks for creating a place for people like me to come and learn. I look forward to getting to know you and your CJs.

You sure have a great story there. Welcome to the forum.:cheers: I hope you can get your Jeep back in good order and enjoy doing it. This forum will be a great source of help. We have a lot of very knowledgeable people here.
 
You've tapped in to the best forum to help you with your Scrambler and all of the responses are spot on. The only thing I can add is that the respect of sentimental value for your CJ8/project will never be more than what you will find here. You'll find a great community here.
