Brought it home today

My wife got me an 82 CJ7 with lines, brakes and wheels installed. Tub is gonna have to be painted, AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l 6cyl engine and Transmission are connected. Frame sandblasted and repainted. All else is in boxes, tubs, etc.. What is a good book for me to get with diagrams to get this potential bad boy together? This is my first jeep since a Willys CJ2a in high school. I have a long way to go.....Thanks for any help-I'm going to need it.

We like to see pics. Even if it is in pieces.

Morris has diagrams, Start with getting all the drive train in the frame. Then get the tub on the frame

Better than what I'm starting with.

Where/who is Morris? How would I find the diagrams. I haven't done this in a long time. I'm starting from scratch. Any info on where I would find good replacement parts, etc....I just got a paint shop's name today. While the tub is off, I'm gonna go ahead and have all of it painted, then put it together and see how she'll do. Any recommendations on a 2" body lift kit to start with? I appreciate all replies.

Thanks to everyone who has replied to my posting. I appreciate the Morris tip. I'll be asking more questions as this progresses-should be interesting.

When I get stuck because I didn't take enough pictures of what I took apart or what I need to get apart is so rusted it looks like one big lump of corrosion I just Google in this site search "Tie rods" or "brake Lines" and I usually have no problem getting images of what I'm looking for.

I have also seen many times posted "I need a picture of _______" and help usually comes pretty quickly.

I dont think anyone that is a member on this site would never laugh at a person who is restoring a classic. We totally respect and try to help anyone we can. I hate to speak for other members , but I feel that way and I am sure many more. :ww: from Michigan. Looks like a awesome start.
