Does anyone have experience riding the trails in the Black Hills? I am heading there this summer and deciding if I should drive my Scrambler out or rent a SXS out there.

If anyone is interested. https://www.rockauto.com/RSS/vehiclefeeds.php?carcode=1183890&m=wc&l=en&html=true

A friend just bought a nice 1990 Cherokee and is asking me advice for mods to do some off-roading. Mainly hunting in the mountains type stuff. Can anyone recommend a forum for the Cherokee? Thanks

I just finished replacing the front axle seals in my 81 Scrambler. If you haven't done it before, a couple things can be confusing. The seal is a two part seal. The seal is pressed into an outer flanged shell that acts as an axle guide. That shell is what actually gets driven into the axle tube...

My niece is making graphics for me. The gray is the original. Any other ideas? I traced the graphics before I removed them and she digitized the tracings.

I am trying to decide if I want to take on replacing leaking front seal in my 81 dana 30. It seems confusing on what seal I need. Rock Auto lists several with different dimensions. I have the tools and shop. Did the complete rebuild of the Jeep myself but don't want to get in to the same mess I...

I apologize in advance if this has been covered. I searched but couldn't find the info. I finally got around to having my 81 narrow track Scrambler aligned. To my knowledge it has stock axles front and rear. I had just done everything with a tape measure and the Jeep was drive able but sometimes...

I have an 81 Scrambler with stock suspension, no lift. 31" tires. At full turn either direction I get a clunk which sounds and feels like the tub oil canning. I am quite sure I can correct this by adjusting the steering stops to eliminate that last bit of turning. I'm just wondering if anyone...

I made a step for my '81 Scrambler. I didn't want to drill into or clamp onto the frame so I used an existing skid plate bolt and a body mount bolt. It is very solid. I had it powder coated and added non skid.

I am finishing up my rebuild. I fired the engine for the first time last week. It is a 258 that I totally rebuilt. The engine started fine and I set the timing but it had a bad miss at idle. I checked all the obvious things but found nothing wrong. I finally noticed a puddle of antifreeze on top...

I finally got my Vanco power brake system and installed the master cylinder today. I have an '81 Scrambler with 258 and Carter carb. What air cleaner are you guys using with this set up? It looks like I have a maximum of 3 1/2" from the center stud of the carb to the vacuum booster. Thanks Bob

Has anyone found a dash pad cover that they like? Mine is cracked pretty bad but don't really want to spend what it costs for a new one. Thanks Bob

This is probably a stupid question, but how do you change the lube in an SR 4 transmission? I can't find a drain plug in the bottom, but there looks like there is a boss where a a hole could be drilled and tapped for a pipe plug. It is mated to the 300 transfer case in my '81 scrambler. What is...

Here are some pictures of a console that I made from MDF and had covered. It works very well. It keeps the radio from getting wet and provides an arm rest. I ran the wires in some plastic flexible conduit across the floor on the side of the hump to under the dash. I have a drawing and the...

Not too long ago someone posted an excellent picture of the gas tank with all the connections labeled. I thought I printed it but of course now I can't find it. Does anyone remember it? I tried searching but couldn't find it. Thanks Bob

I am doing a frame off rebuild of my '81 Scrambler. I plan on keeping the Jeep for a long time so my main goal is to kill the rust as well as possible. I am not making a show truck out of it. I will be doing almost all the work myself to keep the cost down. I have had it apart for over a year...

If your front seal is leaking and the seal lip has worn a groove in the balancer, it is much cheaper to install a speedi sleeve than to buy a new balancer. I bought mine at NAPA for around $26.00 for the 4.2L engine. It is a very easy install. Bob

I have a situation on my '81 Scrambler that is really bugging me. I have a 4.2L engine and what I think is all stock transmission, transfer, and differentials. The drivers side rear tire tracks about 2" inside the front tire. On the passenger side the rear tire tracks directly in line with the...

I have the body off the frame of my '81 Scrambler and pretty much stripped. If anyone needs pictures of how something comes apart I would be happy to post them. Bob

I am leaning towards wrapping my Scrambler with camo from www.camowraps.com. What does everyone think? I would prefer to paint it but don't want to have the Jeep tied up that long and pay what it would cost for a good job. I was thinking of flat or matte black with clear coat. If I wrap it I can...
