    Robert, I know words probably don't help at a time like this, but I will pray that the Lord give you the strength to cope with your losses. Peter

    Locker Experiences

    I agree with Kohldad here, I have Trutracs front and back and they are perfect for what you want to do. As long as you aren't going anywhere that you'll be lifting a wheel off of the ground they should function fine. They operate on the road without problems. I drive mine way more on the road...

    4.0 head vs. 4.56 gears

    I have 4.56 gears in mine and have a stock motor with a Weber carb. It is fine for in town driving and highway use. I go over a bridge every time I use my CJ8 to go to work and it will take the bridge fine in fifth gear. If you live in Houston yours should do just fine also. If you go much...

    Adjusting Lifters?

    You didn't say why you're replacing your lifters. If you are having problems with a lifter now, replacing it isn't the answer. You should replace the cam and lifters together. They are not flat on the bottom and have to mate together as new surfaces or the lifter won't rotate. Rotation is what...

    RockyRoad Outfitters?

    I used that setup for the front springs when I converted to SOA with there kit. I ended up replacing it with a MORE shackle reversal kit. The length of there shackle with the mount does upset the caster and changes the natural spring arc of travel causing the axle to travel forward when rising...

    Keep the Lock-Right or get te Truetrac

    I must say I had grand intentions of doing alot of offroading with mine, but for the most part it just stays on the street. The 4.56's work fine for in town pep and the overdrive of 5th gear is actually useable on the highway. They're a good choice for a stock 6 with 35's. For what I use mine...

    Keep the Lock-Right or get te Truetrac

    I have TrueTracs front and rear and my Scrambler is basically used on the roadways and they work great. No quirks while using on roads.

    Steering colum question

    I noticed that you didn't say wether you had a tilt column or not. I purchased a rebuilt GM tilt column that fit a Scrambler on eBay on the cheap side and installed it myself. By the way, my '82 and many other Scramblers use GM columns. The column came complete, including a new lock cylinder. I...

    SOA Set up

    I believe everyone's talking about a 4.5" leaf spring lift, not a body lift. SOA set ups have many drawbacks. I have an SOA with SRS set up on my Scrambler. They aren't highway friendly. I would also agree that a well engineered 4.5" lift such as a Rubicon Express Extreme Duty lift would be...

    Head Count For 09 Nationals

    I will be going. I didn't get to go last year because of something silly like getting a pacemaker. That's already done so there shouldn't be any thing else. I hope!!!

    Steering Box Question...Return to Center?

    Probably not enough caster. You may need some degree shims on the front axle.

    Project 8 on tv

    I don't know guys, Iv'e got about 20K plus in mine and don't like to keep score. You know, good decisions, bad decisions. I also know there are many out there with much more in there CJ8's. I am not where I want to be yet by a long shot. I am always intrigued by a no holds barred approach...

    SOA Kit

    I have used their SOA kit, OTT steering kit, YJ spring conversion kit, springs and shocks. Biggest problem is their service is terrible. The kit didn't arrive complete and it took forever and was a considerable hassle to finally get the parts that had already been paid for. Their steering kit is...

    Unable to Make Natl Scramble

    I wont be able to attend either this year. I was looking forward to meeting everyone and having a good time. Sometimes things come up that you just can't help. I hope everyone has fun. I sure wanted to be there to pick up my shiny new white Scrambler, LOL.

    decent greasable shackle system?

    I am using MORE SRS for YJ springs and their greasable shackles. I like the SRS, I have the one that has the front shackle hangar welded in the frame. It's supposed to give you the proper suspension geometry. I would look for greasable shackles that have threaded grease zerks. The MORE's grease...
