Good information, just what I was looking for. As far as what failed when, it's just my theory. I have driven it a few hundred mile in it's current condition (slipping only occasionally) but most the time I would just baby it. It gradually started slipping worse and worse. Last week when...

Thanks for the info spankrjs. Also, I noticed that you said easy... Easy for you is not easy for all! But I have the FSM and found some good how-to stuff online. BW, Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience. So, hindsight/history... My nephew asked to drive my Jeep some time back...

That sounds like a deal!

Thanks for the replys so far! So I have been researching just removing the tracloc carrier unit and replacing spider gears and clutch packs. From what I understand, if I mark everything and reinstall exactly, in theory I should be ok. Does anyone have experince just replacing spider gears and...

^advice^ Well feeling pretty bummed. I have been suspecting that I had a busted 2pc axle. It started chattering and slipping under heavy takeoff acceleration. I pulled the driver side axle and sure enough it was sheared from the hub. So I bought a driver side axle, gear oil, and diff gasket...

I would definatly not put liner in a solid original like yours. Just keep it honest and enjoy it. This question has brought been brought up numerous times in other threads. It will hurt the value if you line it. But based on what you're saying I doubt I'll be selling any time soon. Your Jeep my...

Nice looking Scrambler.

Good looking luxury ride!

1984/85 Garnet Metallic

Both. Some colors were single stage and some were bc/cc. I think that oriental red is single stage, put I am not 100 percent certain. Hopefully someone else can confirm.

Are you sure we can make this?

Nice build. Making memories. Priceless.

Lookin good Randy.

Congratulations! I wish you guys the best!

I had a stuck key problem a while back, eventually it got worse. Ended up changing the cylinder out. Randy did a good write-up on how-to replace it. I followed his steps with no problems. Hopefully yours won't happen again.

I am looking forward to your latest build Randy.

I scanned a few oldies of my 1985 CJ7. I bought it in 1992 and drove it as a daily driver till 2002. Many, many, memories of irresponsible youth, rolled it twice! It was bone stock with white wagon wheels when I bought it. Tube bumpers and saw blade wheels where the coolest back then!

I am enjoying this thread.

I just got back home from a great trip. I had no issues or breakdowns. Was able to see some beautiful areas that I have never seen before. Epic trip.

Thanks for coming along for the ride! Speaking of the Yamaha it dawned on me yesterday that it is ten years old with unknown hours and I'm a long way from home. I should pass Chatt on Saturday morning and be in Charleston Saturday late afternoon.
