So I picked up a Dana 44 front axle from a 79 Cherokee chief(pass drop) for my build. It's about 65" wms to wms. I have been try to find a rear axle but don't know what would be a good match. I came across a 14 bolt on marketplace. I was telling a buddy about it and he told me that the 14 bolt...

Time to catch y’all up. In September of 2020, I picked up this 85 that was someone’s project. No motor, trans, or transfer case. Just what I wanted. I wanted to LS/auto swap one so this was a good start. This really isn’t a good time financially for me but I’m not getting any younger. So i...

Has anyone ever removed this overlay or whatever it is called? Rust is falling out from between it and the firewall and I want to fix it now. I’m assuming it it spot welded but just wanted to make sure.

On the 85 I purchased, the previous owner started stripping the body and the firewall vin tag is missing. I have the one on the windshield but was and matched it to the frame stamping and title. I would like to know all the options it came with. Is there a site or place that can go back off the...

Is the AMC 20 from a FSJ stronger than the CJ version and is it worth building? I am getting the front Dana 44 from a 79 Cherokee Chief ( wide track) and the guy said he will throw in a 20 if I want it. Just don't know anything about them.

Has anyone replaced the rear support/tailgate mounting on their body? I've tried looking for some guidance or hints and can't seem to find anything.

So I’ve been collecting parts to work on my 85. I purchased a few body parts from Classic Enterprise and decided to tackle one of the repairs needed. The driver’s side lower interior B pillar had a view rusted out holes. I noticed some foam inside and knew someone screwed up. Now this is my...

Can someone that is running a 1" body lift tell me the body mount to tub measurement. I'm about to start mocking up my engine/trans and want to put some temporary spacers on to check clearances. Thanks!

I have noticed that some of you that have done LS swaps with 4l60e trans have used NP241c transfer cases while others stayed with the D300. Is one better than the other or is less conversion with stock width, passenger drop axle? I don't have a case and trying to decide what would be the best route.

For those who have done a 5.3 ls (stock) and 4L60E swap, what would be the best overall gears with 35" tires? Intended use: mild trails, road trips, what ever

I'm trying to decide on a rear axle and am thinking about ford 8.8. Has anyone used one? What modification were needed to make it work?

Happy Thanksgiving to all

I searched around but didn't find any other threads about this site and I wanted to share it. If this is old news than I apologize. Dead Jeep is a Jeep stripper in Rhode Island that has all kinds of stock Jeep parts. I found them on Facebook and their website, www.deadjeep.com, shows a very...

After reviewing all kinds of info on axles, I am more confused than when I started. Eventually I plan on a 5.3lt LS and auto and 35" tires build. I plan on mild trails and long trips with this one. Stock axles are on it now but figured I needed to upgrade. I found some dana 44 out of a 75 Scout...

After studying Jeff's door repair write up, I stripped down my doors to begin the same repairs. However, my doors have a stationary quarter glass and not a vent glass and the glass opening is made different. Adding the angle iron to the glass opening like he did will not work on this type of...

Do the members of the club still get a discount with 4WD?

Is there any way to tell the difference between a factory 1/2 hard top and an aftermarket one?

Well, after having to sell my last scrambler 51/2 years ago, I finally was able to get another one. Found this '85 close to home. Previous owner bought it complete, 1st picture, and stripped it completely. Sanded body and primed it, sold motor, trans, and transfer case. Tub will need some...

I’m working on a ‘98 4x4 XJ rear brakes. I have replaced my drums, shoes, all hardware, wheel cylinders, and hose from body to axle. Bled system. With the adjuster fully closed, I installed drums without any resistance and can turn by hand(transfer case in N). If I put the lug nuts on and...

I’ve been looking at this 81 and I'm thinking it’s worth about $2,500. What do y’all think?
