Florida Island Jeep Saw this over at Matlacha island in Florida. Ultimate island hopper.

86 cj running disk/drum. What routes have you guys taken to improve the braking? I’m interested in budget builds, I rarely drive the Jeep so I don’t want to spend big bucks on some of the kits I see online. Does anyone of the late model brake parts cross over to the CJ platform? Thanks Steve

Pulled the top and replaced the seal under the windshield frame. Did a little rust removal and treatment before I put the new seal on.

Hello again... I had to simplify my other post so I just started a new one. After installing a ton of new parts including Oliver shafts I had my caster out of wack, I pulled the front shaft and all of my vibration went away. Shaft was reinstalled. I have my caster at 90* with the intention...

I bounced through the pages pretty fast tonight. I didn’t see what powerplant you have chosen. Tons of work in those housings! It’s going to be awesome! What’s your previous builds?

I’ll check that episode out online. I thought about just clearing the hood, that usually looks decent and keeps some character.

Finally put the seats in it. Debating carpet??

Thanks for the comments! A pic with the powder coated wheels. Still need to mount the spare. Debating on painting the Jeep, I enjoy the original paint but the hood needs some help. The rest of the body could use some buffing.

2015 jku rubicon Currently dealing with the front 44 only. Started with Rancho 4” sport and correction brackets. Still running the 4” springs but with Rancho adjustable upper and lower arms that are going in now along with aftermarket steering components. 44 is on floor jacks but I stopped...

I have the AMC 20. The jeeps at my friends shop getting ball joints and new brakes out back. Ready to get it back home, finally got the wheels back from powder and I scored some newer 31” tires. Took it out to my buddies land and shot my guns the other day. Pretty cool having a tailgate to set...

We own a Laser cutting and fabrication shop in Tulsa. I read plenty about sleeves and trusses being a waste of money but, with five welders employed I figured I would play with the Rubi 44. Bought a truss online and I already had the RSE clam shell kit from a Craigslist seller. I decided to...

Team, My friend has owned a successful pawn shop in his small town, he recently moved his business into a brand new stand alone building. The walls are finished in tin and rustic wood, he has asked me to find some vintage items to hang on the walls. I need to also mention that he is friends...

Sorry tired of searching the web for info. Thanks for any suggestions. I have a 2015 Rubicon. Bought a set of RCV axles and I’m shopping ball joints. The axle is trussed, clamshelled and has gussets but that should not come into play. Is there a simple list of the ball joints that will not...

Scrub the tub time.

Recovered the seats! Ordering red carpet next. Staying with all of the original colors.

A few 86 CJ questions... The engine is a 4.2 Is the auto transmission most likely a TF999? Dana 30 front? AMC20 rear? Transfer case?

Thanks for the comments! It’s fun to share the passion and stories of “ the ones that didn’t get away!” I think I’ll keep it bone stock and polish up the patena. I’ll add pics as I tinker along. I Bought a JKU Rubicon new in 2015, as time went on I added aftermarket gears, axles, driveshafts...

In-line 6 original 4.2 with auto transmission

Bought my 86 CJ7 off of CL. Found it at 930pm and drive it home at midnight with old tags, a misfire and dog hair infested interior. Within one hour the guy had 30 text and calls wanting to see the jeep the next morning but, nobody was smart enough to say can I come by right now! The guy needed...
