    Current Scrambler pics

    That was a tough decision for sure. Hope your wife continues to recover. Spending quality time with her is the best plan. And doing that in a vehicle that she is comfortable in is important.

    Current Scrambler pics

    I use GAIA GPS. I have used it for many years backpacking (I was a Scoutmaster for years) and in the jeep. Until now it was just on my iphone and it works well. Just be sure to download the map layers you want of the area you will be in so they work off-line. I use the previous generation...

    Current Scrambler pics

    Took a quick weekend trip to try out a bunch of new camping gear. Went to some trails on the North side of Mt. Shasta. About 65 highway miles. Jeep did great both on and off road. It is a beast on the trail. I was very impressed with the suspension feel at low and medium-high speeds...

    22nd Annual Colorado Scramble for 2024

    We booked a room at the Kendall Mountain Lodge. Looks like a pretty small room but it does have a window (some don't), bathroom/shower, mini-fridge and coffee machine. My wife liked it and the location. Anyone here have any comments on it? I will likely have my F350 and car hauler. Will...

    ModernJeeper Death of Rubicon Express?

    This is what I run. 35's with 1" body lift. I use the Rubicon Express RE1445. They are YJ 1.5" SOA springs and work great. Not sure these springs are available now based on this thread. You can probably get by without the body lift but I did that to clear the NV-4500. I have TJ Flares now...

    Custom Roll Cage Ideas

    Here's mine. One thing to factor in is the very rear hoop. If you want to run the Bestop full top, it comes down at a pretty good angle at the rear. I'm not sure it will work with my cage. Luckily I found a NOS Kayline which I ran for years and needed replacing. It is less of an angle at...

    Voodoo Blue 82 Complete Refresh

    I have a few updates to post. The full hard doors are done and working great. I'll post about them later. I finally got around to connecting in the Revolution Electronics Intermittent Wiper module. It turns your two position wiper switch/motor into one with 8, 5 and 3 second intermittent...

    For those who have swapped NV4500s into your CJs…

    I put mine in with some help from someone who did it a few times. But that was 25 years ago. I believe we initially used the stock mounting position but did a 1" body lift to clear the extra height. Then a few years later when we put in the Atlas II, we made a custom skid plate/mount...
