I was looking at Quadratec's site when I threw my numbers out. Also does anyone know anything about MD Juan? Are tubs and bodies any good? You get everything but the grille in their kit.

Ha! Thanks I'm wary of the rust on these things period. I'm definitely covering my bases there.

^ thanks! I'll see where this leads.....

Ordered a roof Spiderweb Shade in grey along with the Delrin door hinge inserts, and Daystar hood latch straps (?) from Quadratec today. I hope to install everything Saturday. The Daystar parts just replace the rubber portion of the factory latch. I hope that will reduce the flutter on the...

I was checking the Denver area looking for ~$3k ones that may be candidates for you and may have found one for myself. It's closer to $8k though. I've been texting with him and hoping to get some pics tonight or tomorrow.

I may have found one. Waiting for a lot more pics and then, if the CJ is in as good a shape as it looks throw an offer out. 304 and 5 spd trans.

So to me the conundrum is this.....are you prepared to spend $4K on a new tub?? I think that's roughly what a omix-ada tub costs. If so just go find the best frame and drivetrain you can find for the cheapest $$ and get started. Make sure you determine if you want the wide track axles. If so as...

^ no build thread yet... I was just inquiring about the CJ about a month ago in this sub-forum. I've also expanded my search fully expecting I may have to fly out and drive home if I find the RIGHT Jeep. Every time I search, I make sure to look in the SE US. For whatever reason they seem to be...

I've been looking at CJ-7s for the last month and a half. I'm looking at the 7 because of the slightly longer body. Would like to do a frame off restore over the next couple years with my son (I started my own thread). So far, because I'm in no hurry, I've been searching in the $4-5k range...

Hard top off and twill top on. Ready for summer. Had to tether the corner to the wall to keep it from spinning.

I finally had an opportunity to install the EVO hinge last night. Overall I'm happier with it than Quadratec's version (Tactik branded) of the Rugged Ridge hinge. The install wasn't bad but took a good bit longer than the Tactik because there was more that required assembly. I think that the...

God damn I'm jealous! Very nice! :thumb:

Well the one I posted about turned out to be a real project, probably more than I want to get involved in. I certainly don't expect much in that price range but there just wasn't much to work with. I've broadened my searching to pretty much the entire eastern U.S. i figure that will increase my...

Rausch Creek two weeks ago Fresh out of the detail shop.

Thanks for the thoughts and advice.

The last couple of days for shits and giggles I was perusing the local CL ads for older used Jeeps and stumbled across an '86 CJ that looks like it could be a really cool restoration project. But i was also thinking my youngest, Zachary, will be 14 this August. Would a slow restore over the...

^^ thanks guys, I hope to make it out next time and get to know everyone a bit better. Well here's some pics of the issue. I've already disassembled the joint cleaned it up, took a wire brush on the bench grinder to the flex ball and got it reassembled. Need to add some grease and reinstall...

So during the Rausch Creek run, we began noticing a rattling sound in the right front at roughly the mid point of the day right after lunch. When we got to a stopping point a little later a few of us quickly noticed the flex joint moving back and forth/left to right at the frame mount. Steve was...

So not this then?? :D
