I had an '85 Toyota with manual hubs and a 4cyl 22R years ago. Many times when pulling my boat out of the water on some steeper boat ramps I would shift into 4L without locking hubs. I now own a CJ7 with a 258, AMC20, T176, Dana 300TC and Dana 30 front axle with warn premium manual hubs. I know...

Well it's starting to look like something! You can see my hood on saw horses behind the Jeep in one of the pics. A storm came through a couple of days ago and blew it off the saw horses. I'll have to repair 3 deep scratches and several other minor ones. I was sick, literally.

I already picked up a set of YJ doors. Sorry!

A few more things done the last couple of weeks.

All of these are good suggestions for getting the bolts out that still have heads. I just went through the same issue with removal of all the hinges (windshield, mirrors and doors). I broke three and stripped a couple of heads. I went to Fastenal and bought a set of counter clockwise drill bits...

Thanks 69jeepcj. I have a set of full doors but they are in rough shape.

Can someone tell me if TJ or YJ full doors will fit my 1980 CJ7? Will I have to make modifications for either to work?

Thanks for the info bounty hunter. When I get this thing done i'm gonna enjoy it a while before doing anymore upgrades but I will keep all this in mind.

Hey Terry, I noticed on your 2005 jeep build post (nice ride by the way) you installed a ford rear end. I am eventually going to do something with the AMC 20 in mine. I was thinking of doing solid axle upgrades and possibly disc brakes. What all was involved making the ford axle work? Did you...

Worked on the main body all week. Woke up this morning at 4am and shot the orange on her.

Morris 4x4 may have a direct replacement. Amazon also has a lot of parts for older jeeps.

A few pics of what I've done over the last few weeks.

I've been busy. Here are a few pics. I will be starting on the main body this week.

I need a little help. I am beginning to think about paint for my '80 jeep cj7 frame up restore. I live in a rural area of AR and the only paint brands available to me within 50 miles are ppg OMNI and Sherwin Williams. When I hear Sherwin Williams, I think of house paint, could I be wrong? I...

I was able to get a 30min run on the new 258 this weekend. Runs and sounds great!! I have a bit of video on my phone, but I couldn't figure out how to attach it. Sorry.

Hello all, I'm glad to be joining the forum. I have wanted a jeep since I was old enough to drive (many years). I found a 1980 cj7 had minimal rust and not banged up. I have the frame done, axles, trans, and transfer case rebuilt. Welded in a few panels on the tub, stripped and painted under...

Thanks, bount hunter. I am proud of it. I plan on starting the motor today for a 30minute manufacture run in. High rpm to run in the cam and flat tappets.

I picked this 1980 CJ7 up a long while back and have been working on it a while. I thought I would share a few pics. All bearings and seals are new in the driveline. A new 258 long block, the original was shot. The body and frame were in really good shape. Very little rust. The last pic attached...
