    Project XXX

    A few questions more...;) Hey Sven, I have some questions about the roof rack. Do you have specifics on what kind/size tubing you used to make it? I'm going for something similar for my CJ-8 and like the proportions of yours. Do you know the outside dameter and the wall thickness? And were the...

    By request: Seat heater detail

    Spoiled rotten... I gotta agree that until you try them people may think its "fluff" or being spoiled rotten. After 14 years in the Army my back isn't what it used to be and I really, REALLY appreciate the psudo-massage I get from the heat. I just bought a set of heaters off Ebay for my 99...

    $0 Budget Build 83 Grand Wagoneer

    Go 208 IMHO the 219 (as well as the other FT t-cases are not all that great. They are finiky to say the least and the sheer number of vaccum related spagetti required to keep it working is horrible. When you de-smog your engine you may find it has some smog/some 4wd bridged systems. Remove the...

    Early jeep?

    Confused... I guess I'm a little confused as to the goal here. Your wanting to run a GM tranny with the dino-18w/OD behind the MB 5cyl...? I think that is what I'm reading. Is the goal to build it bullitproof or use what you got and be thrifty? I am guessing that if you stretch your 5 it should...

    Rubicrawler

    And...Yeah. I was wondering when someone was going to mention the Klune. Its been around a while and never got the love it deserved. Basically the front end of a 4sp Atlas...Not sure if it was an "in conjunction with" kind of deal or what but it works! I just can't get them to answer an...

    Early jeep?

    Geeezzze... That little bit of intel would have been helpful...********! Just kidding. Nice to know you have the skills to realize the dream. I'm still a little stuck in the "why" but its your dream...The one thing I mentioned that still holds true somewhat is the lack of love/support for the early...

    CL find civilian bantam trailer

    not horrible.. Thats about 50 bucks less than I paid for mine though mine at least has a floor! Lol. I would say if its not rusted and the floor could be replaced it would be worth a 250 range...? At least his has the correct axle. *blush*

    Exo/Roof Rack advice..

    Not the intention... Scott...Nah, I'm hoping to not have to rely on the rack as a exo-cage. To that end using DOM or Hrew in sufficent size/wall would make the rack heavier than I' would like. The idea is something strong enough to support the RTT/fuel and whtever else finds its way up there...

    Exo/Roof Rack advice..

    I'm still in the thinking stages of a roof rack for my CJ8. Being that the full hardtop is fiberglass I don't think it would live with a roof rack/RTT/whatever all piled on it so I'm gonna do my own. To that end I have a few questions.. I've been looking at all sorts of racks...both in person...

    Drawer/storage system build material?

    Bk!!!! Bad Karma...We are in a similar boat...I'm just thinking of what and how to do some kind of slide/storage thing in my "8" as well. The issue we have that many here don't is extrememly limited space. Those w/TJs/LJs/YJs..etc are in a similar boat. TO that ends I am wondering how much...

    Early jeep?

    Uh...Seriously? Hey, Not trying to rain on the parade but I think your barking up the wrong tree. I've owned Jeeps all my life and can't imagine making a CJ5 into an overland. Room for FOUR? That made me chuckle...You'll be lucky if you can get 4 IN the 5...So the need for a trailer would be...

    U419 for sale in Hawaii

    Garbage truck... In my experience there is little potential use for it with the attachments. The baby-mog may be cool once stripped and loved but I wouldn't count on getting much done with the back HO or the bucket...

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    Uh...why not just go look for a water proof "bag" or gas grill cover or something that could be pulled over it quick and easy? Make some kind of velcro vent deal that could allow exhaust out but no rain in? not sure about the dust issue...
