1058706 It might be a fluke, but a friend of mine has an 86 CJ-7 (pretty sure it's an 86) and it has the newer door handle stock, or at least he thinks it is stock. The topic came up recently since one broke on the inside and he can't find them, when I looked at his, it's more like a wrangler...

1058678 Hi guys, new to the message board. I'm doing some frame and body work on my 79 CJ-7, I've got a little more than I bargained for on the rear. I cut off the rear crossmember since I'm replacing it, but there's a lot of rust on the rear boxed frame rails too. They're actually eaten all...
