The build is what’s left of a CJ-8 Scrambler that good friend of mine is in the process of finishing up. In exchange for machining work he is doing for my jeep, I agreed to document his build for him since Justin is not the internet savory type and I thought this had be posted.
I will be just documenting this and will take no credit in the build that’s all Justin.
I will have him sign up and comment on the build, I will just be doing the posting and updates.

The Jeep is currently mostly though with the first mock up build. It is almost to the point at which its close to being torn down for finale assembly. I will be getting more detailed pictures as the build progresses. He has some photos and I will post them so you can get an idea what its going to look like.
