Is there a better way to attack this without having the side panels and cowl fall into a pile?  I seem to remember a thread somewhere where one person screwed some boards in strategic places to keep the side panels and cowl "square".<br />How did you attack this?  What would you do differently?  What worked well?<br /><br /> https://cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/3Ayabb26/YaBB.pl?num=1470740306 The CJ3A Page Forum/BODY and trim https://cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/3Ayabb26/YaBB.pl?num=1470740306 pascal@cj3apage.com (Kirkski) Tue, 9 Aug 2016 10:58:26 GMT Does anyone have any insight to why my tack welds seem to have a hole in them? <br /><br />It's annoying https://cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/3Ayabb26/YaBB.pl?num=1475766784 The CJ3A Page Forum/BODY and trim https://cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/3Ayabb26/YaBB.pl?num=1475766784 carla.montory.m@gmail.com (Carla) Thu, 6 Oct 2016 15:13:04 GMT Hi.

I have noticed recently that the roof/soft top has started the shred a tear a little, and that he could do with a new one. Being as his birthday is coming up in 1 month i thought i might as well treat him to a new roof. Here is where you guys come in. I have been looking online at CJ3 a sites and for sale sites that i will link below. i found XHD Soft Top, Black Denim, Tinted Windows, 97-06 Jeep Wrangler which looks real nice and sharp. But i have no idea if it will fit my farther CJ3a or if i am even looking in the rite place. Sorry about the lack of information everyone i don't know so much about the jeeps. If there is any other information needed just ask and i will do my best to find the answers needed. <br /><a href="http://www.for-sale.ie/" target="_blank">http://www.for-sale.ie/</a><br /><br />Any information would be greatly appreciated guys!<br /><br />Thanks guys <br /> https://cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/3Ayabb26/YaBB.pl?num=1479854936 The CJ3A Page Forum/BODY and trim https://cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/3Ayabb26/YaBB.pl?num=1479854936 trijjicon@frontier.com (trijjicon) Tue, 22 Nov 2016 22:48:56 GMT I didn't do a very good job of "bag & tag' & I apologize for my newbie mistakes. I'll do the grille next & I have seen 2 brackets in my stash. I need to know what other hardware is involved, so I'll know what to look for. Length,diameter,thread type and whatever else will b involved in putting it back in.

Was told that is probably in the front axle &/or in the steering. That I should replace the front axle, have the brakes re-done, & have the steering gone thru. Logic tells me that is sound advice but budget holds me back. That's probably several thousand in additional cost. This was a budget build & alrdy over what I was committed to. But safety has to prevail. I don't even want to drive it now. Recommendations, plz? I want it fixed right but as economically as can b, u c? https://cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/3Ayabb26/YaBB.pl?num=1480830381 The CJ3A Page Forum/BODY and trim https://cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/3Ayabb26/YaBB.pl?num=1480830381 dsc103@yahoo.com (Dinesh) Sun, 4 Dec 2016 05:46:21 GMT Hello friends<br />In search of a 3a for a long time now stumbled upon one now.

(classic horrible vehicle search for old CJ Jeeps...is it a Willys? A Jeep? A CJ3?)<br />I've had luck using METRO stuff before on other cars, but just wondering if anyone has tried this cowl seal on their Jeep.<br /><br />By the way, Summit Racing lists this cowl seal for $18.97, and Amazon lists it for $25 (although they say it will take two months (!) to ship) https://cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/3Ayabb26/YaBB.pl?num=1491607323 The CJ3A Page Forum/BODY and trim https://cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/3Ayabb26/YaBB.pl?num=1491607323 trijjicon@frontier.com (trijjicon) Fri, 7 Apr 2017 23:22:03 GMT My 3A didn't have the door-side slide channels.So Bestop made me a custom pair.

If so, how did ya do it? The door handles...the inside close/open handles...the black covers keep coming off when closing/opening when they contact that section of frame that isn't covered... where those handles meet to close/open the door... the door isn't quite lined up and it "catches" the fabric there.
