I think if I was going to swap tubs, I'd probably go aluminum.

Yes, the Scout axles have less caster than Jeep. Really not much more work to fix than narrowing a full size Jeep axle.

My favorite AMC build would be a '70 390 (AMX) with some flavor of EFI. Whatever you end up doing, be sure to put some quality gauges on it so you don't burn it up again.

DO IT!

Are you going to narrow to CJ width or stay longer? Biggest difference (aside from WMS-WMS size) would probably be the front axle caster angle. Scout axle would be best to rotate the "C"s a little to have better steering manners.

Could just be the photo, but something looks odd about those wheels. Looks like too much space between the lug hole and the center hole. Are you sure they're made for a Jeep 5-5.5 lug pattern? What's the diameter of the center hole?

What CJ-7Pilot says is true - provided the spring plates have two posts (one for the shock mount and one for the sway bar). The crown photo you have shown only looks to have one post (which even if you don't run a sway bar, the shock mount will be on the wrong side of the axle tube). You'll...

Do you get much hail where you live?

You could probably find a front shaft from a CJ7 with 304 if you really want to go with OEM.

Scramblers never came with a V8 so you probably wont find a stock replacement to fit. A drive line shop can shorten the existing rear shaft pretty easy to save you a little $, but the front will require a new shaft (the OEM front shaft is pretty slim, so I'd get something a little beefier while...

It's a risk/reward reward thing, kind of like people who climb Mt. Everest. -or in simpler terms; Why did the chicken cross the road... Stupid chicken!

They are way longer... looks like the Scrambler's front bumper is even a little behind the Gladiator's.

What are you using for reverse lights?

My understanding is that they discontinued all aluminum corners for Scramblers almost 2 years ago (stock and standard... never heard of them with TJ wheel openings though). Supposedly they had problems with them "cracking", so they quit making them. If you can find some, then more power to...

I can't remember for sure but I think my Jeep decals were brown/nutmeg. I'll have to dig up some old pictures.

After dealing with their customer service, I highly doubt it. They got huffy with me when I suggested they should remove discontinued items from website. I might buy a set of blanks for a CJ7 from GenRight and pay someone to TIG a 20" insert into them (probably still cheaper than buying GR CJ8...

They lie... nobody has them. For some reason, Poison Spyder won't take them out of their system (even though they haven't stocked/produced them for over a year). Vendors (like Morris , North Ridge, 4WD, and QT) will take orders based on the expectation they can get them drop shipped from PS...
