    Alternator upgrade???

    Not sure if this pertains to your situation but this video shows how to remove the brackets from the block and clearance for the alternator to fit. Seems to be a common issue. :shrug:

    Coast to Crawl: South Carolina to Rubicon Trail and back

    @rubclt Amazing trip. How was the performance power wise on and off the trails? (Thoughts on tire size, gearing, engine overall on the trip)

    factory seat belts?

    factory seat belts?

    I don't have any personal experience but it appears all the front seatbelts were retractable. This is from the factory parts list:

    Bucket, the 1981 CJ8 frame off.

    This is the measurement for the windshield to get a starting point for adjusting the doors and top positioning.

    Rear brake lights not working

    This has been posted here before, (it's for an '82 and appears to have the matching colors for your brake light switch) :shrug: https://oljeep.com/gw/82_tsm/Part%204%20Wiring%20Diagrams.pdf

    Another Scrambler Purchase/Road Trip - UPDATE- BODY ON FRAME AGAIN

    Yeah the original one on yours looks more like the OEM '87-'93 timing chain. Will be interesting to see the difference in the slack between old and new.

    Another Scrambler Purchase/Road Trip - UPDATE- BODY ON FRAME AGAIN

    Have you been able to confirm the build date of the original engine? I'm not sure it is totally relevant anymore since it's been rebuilt.

    Another Scrambler Purchase/Road Trip - UPDATE- BODY ON FRAME AGAIN

    This is a screenshot from page 1180 of the '98 TJ FSM: It can be found here: https://wranglertjforum.com/attachments/1998-tj-service-manual-pdf.14033/ I'm not sure why this particular one has numbers for the sections (on the left) instead of descriptions. My '06 one is easier to navigate...

    Another Scrambler Purchase/Road Trip - UPDATE- BODY ON FRAME AGAIN

    Your posts got me to look into some of the differences in the 4.0. What are you using for the relevant 4.0 procedures? (I noticed some interesting steps for the timing chain and the oil pan in the FSM.) Is that a preload bolt (with a thrust pin) for the camshaft sprocket? I have read (when...

    What's on your Work Bench?

    It's alive... The lift, not the 8. :( I did also modify the mount and brackets to relocate the pump/reservoir for more clearance around the lift.

    I actually was looking at one down the road from you. Apparently they are a dealer for AMW. https://www.kefferjeep.com/americas-most-wanted/

    What are you guys cooking!?

    I'm sure this is probably blasphemy but we now smoke our ribs precut (party ribs) they get way more smoke and bark. Also take up way more space but we can easily do two racks on the lower surface, more than enough for the two of us for a couple meals.

    Another Scrambler Purchase/Road Trip - UPDATE- BODY ON FRAME AGAIN

    Are you the only one that believed you were going to be able to sleep at night with the used blocking ring in your rebuild? :unsure: Is it possible the damage to the spacer plate was caused by the weight of the trans/transfer case leveraging down at the plate, maybe a difference in the engine...
