1985 CJ-8 Scrambler Restoration

It looked like a parade was about to happen on your street...

Yeah, it was about the worst moment to drop it off. They’re replacing sections of the sidewalks so there were about 30 guys and two cement trucks right there while this was happening. That’s why Steve (police chief) had rolled up to make sure the sidewalk crews weren’t blocked in. It was perfect timing, he blocked the street with his cruiser, we off loaded the CJ, and got the truck and trailer out of their way. It couldn’t have worked out better in the end.

It is, although they probably regret living next to me. They are throughly down the rabbit hole with their Blaze Orange LJ! Thanks had nothing to do with that

For sure, I’ve been sitting out in the garage this evening “planning”

Thanks Brother! A huge smile. The kids are really exiting, but unfortunately that ride into the garage is all they are getting for a while!

That’s awesome! Glad you were finally able to get it home! Now the last stretch to get it back on the trails.

I wish. I haven’t had a day off work in weeks. I did get a few hours into it last night. Speedo cable is run, bump stops for the hood and tailgate are in and I started mapping out the wire harness for the TBI. I’m hoping to get a bunch the wire harness done over the weekend of the forth. We’re not going anywhere.

Trying to make sense of all this mess!



Having to pull two separate harnesses (main and TBI) keeping it clean and concealed is time consuming
