With only a 3 months left till our first baby is born - I only have a little more spare time to do any other fixing and restoring of the jeep. So I need to get in gear, but luckily there are only a handful of items left. I got a paint job done last weekend, and ordered a rear bumper. I still need to get my rear leaf spring shackles replaced. Lastly I need to scrape off all the rust from under carriage and apply some POR-15, then seal and paint with rust inhibitor. But these thing don't have to be done anytime soon. I must say I had a blast doing this project and I learned a ton! Not sure when my next post will be, but I will update everyone if I do anything else. Anybody with will, time, and patience can accomplish anything. I hope to give this Scrambler to my boy when he is old enough (and IF he deserves it!) I'm an average Joe that likes Jeeps. I have previously owned and 95 Wrangler and a 92 Wrangler, sold them both because of either rust issues or mechanical issues...needless to say I was tired of buying/trading. I bought an 85 Jeep Scrambler (CJ8) with lots of issue but a new engine. Decided I would "learn as I go" and try and restore this rare diamond in the rough! Here are my adventures.

Only a Few Things/Months Left
