CJ-8 Axle Swap, Lift, Quasi-Restoration

The purpose of this blog is to provide a place for documenting the buildup of Todd's 1981 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler. It all started with a simple axle swap but as things have presented themselves, it has evolved into a mild restoration or resto-mod. I hope you enjoy it and learn a thing or two along the way as we do.

Hauling from Franklin, TN

This shot was taken at a parking area off I-65 in Tennessee. Uncle Eddie (Of Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Fame) just had to pull into my shot just as I was taking the picture. What do ya do? "Clarke, now that there is an AARRRVeeeeee!"

Rivet removal and spring hanger installation


Just used an angle grinder to remove the rivet head. I then used a punch and a hammer to knock the rivet out.
