Even with the pinion a hair loose (only loose if you pull on it) I wanted to check the ring and pinion back lash, for a base line. So, generally, if you are only changing bearings, the original shims should be fine. But, never hurts to check. What the FSM says, 5-10 with 8 thousandths...

Quick history lesson. I purchased this Scrambler back around April 2009, about 116k miles on it. It had a pretty good rear pinion oil seal leak. Way back in 2009 I took it to my ring and pinion/driveshaft guy to install a new pinion seal. He installed a new seal but also advised me the bearings...

I only met Ken a few times at Nationals, great guy for sure, condolences to his close friends and family.

Mine is a "stock" build and its fat!

The Rock Hard in cab cage moves the upper seat belt mounting point to the cage, inside the cab.

I have the same Rock Hard Cage as John. OEM full steel doors and OEM 1/2 hard top/1/2 soft top fit with no modifications needed.

Finished the east fence line, stopped at river. Looking back at Scrambler from the pier.

Factory red for '83, Sebring Red IIRC

Time for the yearly oil change on this one, and it actually had 3k miles on it since last year. With the annoying vibration gone I've been driving it more and more. Greased everything up and did a general welfare check on everything. Good to go, except now the rear pinion has a bit of...

Finished clearing one fence line Saturday, started on the other one this afternoon.

Could be a bad HEI module, even if it is new. Does this HEI set up have an external coil?

Yard work, clearing the west fence line

The spare tire carrier stopper is better for that :rotfl:

Two wheel barrels worth of roots I removed from the dirt floor of the Jeep storage tent. Smoother ride in and out of there now!

Yeah, I went be Underdog back in December. They seemed interested, I told them I knew it wouldn't be cheap. The guy said he would call me when he was shopping near my house so he could come by and take a look before I hauled it up there. Never heard back, I can go bug them again. I keep...

I'm still farting around with my 1986 CJ7 project Jeep. I was thinking of attempting the real body work myself, but being realistic, not sure I have the time to learn all the skills. And, the time to realistically accomplish the results I would want. I was happy with the work the local shop did...

I recommend this one. Put a 1/2" wide thin strip of 3M double sided trim tape on face of WS frame where the visible front seal shows, done.

Drove this one down the interstate to work the other morning during heavy rain to test the waterproofing work I attempted. No leaks from any of the windshield areas, side doors, or hard top/rear glass/bulkhead. BUT, I still got a little puddle of water on the passenger side rear floor, corner...
