    Adventures with Peggy's jeep.

    Nice. I will be adding the Jeep Air AC kit on my Chevy 350 this winter. (that's when the budget is workable for it...) Have fun on the Rubicon and take lots of pics! Is this your first time? Just be careful with your rear body panel overhang. Watch your lines and which obstacles you hit. I...

    Voodoo Blue 82 Complete Refresh

    Yes, the Overland Expo PNW (Pacific Northwest) is in Redmond, Oregon. About 20 minutes North of Bend. There are others closer to you of course.

    Voodoo Blue 82 Complete Refresh

    Also got a trip in to the nearby Lassen National Forest with a friend from work. This area is an hour from my house, and I didn't see anybody on the dirt roads. The Scrambler is running great all around and I got to test my "Overlanding" gear. Got a great spot right along "Hat Creek" which is...

    Voodoo Blue 82 Complete Refresh

    Got the Scrambler out on a few trips. I added brakes to the second axle on the trailer I picked up and we towed it to Bend, Oregon. About a 5 hour drive from our house in Redding. The 25-year-old PowerStroke did great and should be all set to hit the Colorado Scrambler event later this month...

    Current Scrambler pics

    I have been watching for a good deal on a trailer to tow the Scrambler on. Found a one month old 16' about 3 hours away. The guy had to get a vehicle back from Idaho and had a U-haul reserved. But that wasn't available when he got there and he had to get back. So he bought this one and when...

    CJ-8 complete rebuild advice.

    I have a 350 TBI motor from an 1987 Chevy truck. Pulled the external engine parts from that motor and put them on a brand new Chevy roller-cam long block in 1998. Love it. Runs great, easy to work on and reliable. My axles are 1998 Dynatrac D44/D60. (not the newer "ProRock" type) Other...

    Advice on shocks

    I am running the Bilstein 5125 shocks. I have a spring over suspension. I worked with Bilstein support. They were very helpful and provided part numbers that would work for me. I also have a friend that runs them and took his advice to get stiffer valving due to the full camping load we...

    Axle Swap Question

    Yes, if you are doing any technical crawling and have a manual transmission the gearing is critical if you want to avoid abusing your rig. Sometimes I wish I had lower than my 125:1.

    Axle Swap Question

    Like others said - you should be good. Here is a pic of my front Dana 44 (Dynatrac supplied from 1998) I used to run with the spring under configuration but went spring over about 12 years ago. I've been over the Rubicon many times and Moab etc. Works great.

    Southern California mechanic

    This may be a bad lead but thought I would give you this: It's been a LONG time but when I used to live in Torrance, I took my CJ-7 to Harvey's Complete Jeep Shop in Long Beach for work I didn't want to do or couldn't do living in an apartment at the time. They were great and knowledgeable at...

    2nd Gen K Line full soft top hardware

    I believe that is the top I have. You can see mine on page 6 of my build thread. I do have the install instructions scanned at home. I can upload tonight if you don't have them. https://www.cj-8.com/threads/voodoo-blue-82-complete-refresh.52225/page-6
