Welcome

This page will chronical my work on my '84 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler. I am starting this project after owning an '84 Scrambler for 6 years. I have done little work on it in those 6 years and currently it is barely driveable. I'd like to get it to the point where I can drive it around in the summer, reliably plow in the winter and occasionaly take it off road (i.e. Attica, IN or someday Ouray, CO). I have little experience fixing up cars so I plan to learn as I go. This webpage is mostly here as a place for me to keep my notes. If others find it usefull or interesting, that's great.
