Awesome! We definitely need to get both of our Scramblers together on the Rubicon Trail next year!

The BedRug kit is nice and the material should hold up well. The issue I had is the thickness of the heat shield layer, particularly at the transmission tunnel, made the coverage of the BedRug have some gaps. You could see the white side of the heat shield in these gaps. I went to Home...

Back from the Mammoth BDT trip. It was awesome. I'll do a quick writeup and post some pics soon. For now, here is more information on the floor insulation project. Scroll up to see the specific materials I used. Executive Summary: It was a pain in the ass but well worth it! The AC can...

My Scrambler with the 350 TBI and Atlas II 4.3:1 T-case is that way. The brakes will not stall it in low range, first gear. The axles are 1998 Dynatrac D60 and D44 with F-150 brakes. Big disc's up front and big drums in the rear. Also have the "Navajo" brake booster. This isn't a...

Awesome!

Wow, that's got to be frustrating! Hopefully they can find something conclusive, and you can get your confidence in it back. Imagine if you were deep in the woods, off-grid and this was happening...

@jeepnmatt After six years of growth, I bet those boys like the extra room now!

Anyone have experience with XS Power batteries? This one has 80Ah and is a really close fit for my dual battery tray. https://4xspower.com/products/d3400

@FLCJ8 That's a good point on the Yellow Top temperature range. I've never actually looked that up....until now... Looks like it can take a full charge up to 125 degrees. Then you have to reduce the charge voltage which is not likely happening in my Jeep. Haven't had issues but very good to...

That's pretty old...only one way to find out...

Yes. There are four different color wires on the Redarc that you connect differently based on the battery type and charge profile. Yes, the Lithium batteries just aren't good in engine compartments yet. This below one seems closest and they say it's fine in engine compartments. 1000 CCA...

I know I am going against the grain here using Optima AGM batteries. I have run them in my Scrambler, wife's YJ, Daughters TJ and my PowerStroke F-350 for many years and have not had any early failures. Personally, if I get 5 or more years out of a battery, I'm happy. The current two in my...

I'm back from the CA Highway 395 trip in the Mammoth and June Lakes area. (Sierra Nevada mountains) It was awesome! I'll get a write up with more pics up soon, but the Scrambler did great. Put 1,200 miles on it over the six-day trip. 270 were off-road miles. Completed the heat insulation...

Looking good! Mine is due for that now. (clay bar and wax)

Looking good! Interested in your feedback on the AC/Heater unit once you get it going. I considered that but stuck with the Blazer blower motor heater mod and the regular under dash AC unit from Jeepair.
