Does anyone know a good website or have the torque specs for a 80's model CJ7? Im trying to find a accurate torque spec. Specifically for the front end. pitman arm, gear box, tie rods, steering stabilizer. :rtft:
Check my site - Tech Section. I may not have your year specifically, but check around - I've been collecting FSMs and posting specs from them.

I've got some more manuals in, but I haven't been able to work on the site update & re-org I've got planned (medical issues for her,) so if you can't find something for your model within 1-2 years, let me know and I'll check the Archives...
