    SOLD. I must be nuts…Now For Sale. See last post-

    Nice! Those are such neat rigs. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

    100 questions

    A "twin stick" transfer case allows a lot of things that the traditional single stick cannot easily accomplish. The main reason I do it to all my gear driven t-case rigs is to allow 2wd Lo without spinning the front shaft through open hubs. Having the rear output selector isolated from the...

    1982 "Vintage Red" CJ-7 Renegade

    Hammer, deep socket, a flat screwdriver, and a vice and I can change axle shaft u-joints like nobody's business.....until that ONE needle lays down

    Alternator and power steering

    If you're using the stock Scrambler steering box, I'd say any ham-can Saginaw pump will be just fine, whether it be Jeep sourced or GM sourced.

    Scrambler tub dimensions

    I think it's a question that you'd get a dozen different answers to since it's somewhat relative. Also, you may be able to reference the cowl since that should be the most rigid point, and assume perfectly straight sides. I'd measure mine for you, but I have a slightly bowed bedside.

    KISS Daily driver (keep it simple stupid)

    The "boomerang" shackles were developed for, as the MORE pdf mentions, "anti kickback" of the leaf springs. If you've even owned a YJ you've probably bent a top leaf due to running the shackle into something or drooping the suspension then coming back down and inverting the front shackle, or...

    Family Cage

    So, for those of you interested in a family style cage "kit"...what would be some of the design features desired?

    Family Cage

    Would there really be enough interest to justify the work? If so, I know a guy with an 8 that needs a cage, who just so happens to have CAD access, and has a friend with a Tube Dragon and hydraulic bender.....

    Fuel System

    If I'm not mistaken, ethanol corrodes aluminum pretty fiercely, especially if water or high temps are present. I'd say no on the aluminum hardline, personally. I'd stick with a stainless or ni-copp style for metal hard line.

    Recommendation for Diesel Swap?

    I've contemplated the 6.2/6.5....basically every time one pops up on CL/FBM. The size is decent, and they can be mileage monsters if set up correctly. However, the roughly 700 lb dry weight is a bit much for Jeep territory, and the power potential isn't great. I drove 6.9/7.3 IDI Ferds for...

    Recommendation for Diesel Swap?

    That's one of the bigger advantages...especially when driving a manual. The low end grunt really helps pull through things rather than feathering the clutch. When paired with an automatic, the torque issue isn't as apparent and it is more a weigh in on mileage.

    Recommendation for Diesel Swap?

    There's a lot more to it than just what you have listed, like weight and speed and drivetrain type, but most R2.8 reviews I've seen put them comfortably in the low 20's on MPG when swapped into Jeep style rigs. I think most of the Ultimate Adventure (FourWheeler media group) guys report upper...

    Recommendation for Diesel Swap?

    I have a soft spot for the B-Series Cummins (4BT-6BT), and the R2.8 looks like a great little mill, even if having nothing in common with the B-series cousins....but if it weren't so foreign to adapt accessories, I'd personally look at the Mercedes. The OM617 is neat in its simplicity, but it's...

    New to the site, 84 Scrambler

    Need a T176 to SBC bellhousing? I have one from my factory Duke....requires the "small" Camaro flywheel and clutch, but I'm not using it.
