Actually made a bit more progress. Both axles off too.

Tear down process accelerating a bit this weekend.

More progress made today. All engine peripherals removed: starter, water pump, fuel pump, timing cover, timing gears and chain. I kept the timing gears and chain if someone needs them. Dismounted the transfer case. Will need to get an engine stand to pull the crankshaft, cam shaft, piston...

I will have the internals of the 4.2.

Some rewiring to the part for some more electrolysis rust removal. https://rumble.com/vjgfvv-jeep-cj7-brake-pedal-electrolysis.html

Some pictures of the part after about 12 hours electrolysis. I didn’t take a before picture unfortunately. One of the issues with assemblies I think is going to connectivity between parts when using electrolysis. I didn’t think 12 hours would be enough but I think you’re also going to have to...

Still tearing down but got the body off finally. Will have a 258 crank and pistons for anyone thinking about a stroke. Notice the passenger front spring is cocked outward. I think the hangar might be bent on the frame. The frame looks like it might be salvageable. Eventually mating a...

Unlike the T-4, the T-8 might actually sleep four with gear. While the company Ardisam that makes them makes hub tents for ice fishing, the materials of this hub tent would technically qualify it as a three season. However, properly heated I wouldn’t think it would be an issue in the fourth...

Rebuilding my CJ7 that I’ve had since 2000. Rebuild will be focused on making a more capable overlanding and tow rig for smaller off-road trailer. Here are pictures of my rig (older) and the current state of the tear down. My name is Rick. Hopefully my user name change will go through to...

This is an old picture of my 1982 Jeep CJ7 and the current state of the tear down for rebuild. When finished it will be an LS1 V8 but still with a five speed (Ax15). My name is Rick and I’m located in Raleigh, NC. Part of the rebuild is to make the CJ more capable for over landing and capable...
