    Thanks for all the replies! Anybody know if the seats changed between the CJ & YJ?

    front seat recommendation

    I'm getting old and about once or twice a year I'll drive my 8 on a fairly long road trip...1500 miles+/-. Any recommendations for a good comfortable supportive seat? I'm an average sized guy or at least I like to think I am...5'-10". My old CJ-7 factory high backs were great back in the...

    Scrambler Siting - Munising, MI

    I agree and excellent advise on the solar...usually try to set-up the trailer in the shade!

    Scrambler Siting - Munising, MI

    Teardrops inherently have a lot of tongue weight, so on the road...no, the pintle is quiet and very rarely do you hear much of a clunk. Off-road - yes, it's clunkly in rough terrain - crawling over rocks, in and out of ruts, etc. as the trailer accelerates and decels in and out or over the...

    Scrambler Siting - Munising, MI

    You asked! So I have been dreaming of building an overland teardrop....while studying/planning for the build I was also watching the used market for something I could convert. (To buy new is just ridiculous money.) After about 9 mos. I came across a 2007 5x8 pleasant valley and the conversion...

    Scrambler Siting - Munising, MI

    Heading home from the Keweenaw yesterday and saw a topless Scrambler in Munising---chest nut brown color, looked stock. Gave them a big thumbs up. I was in my scrambler pulling a teardrop. Was it anybody on here?

    PBS - American Experience - Chasing the Moon

    I am a bit of a PBS freak...it's basically what I watch if I'm watching TV, but even if you are not a PBS fan, this series kicks butt! Brings back a lot of childhood memories, back when most, if not all, launches were televised and schools had assemblies to watch the launches. This is the...

    Epic fails

    That's a bummer, but 6000 rpm is a lot for an old straight 6! I broke an AMC 401 crank...similar deal, engine still ran and had good oil pressure, but sure made a lot of noise! Looks like a fun car.

    American Superjeep Challenge

    Awesome. I like the exhaust exits and something about that soft top/rollbar from that angle reminds me of a commando. I like.

    2019 EJS and SOA National/Sand Hollow prep/trip

    BW, awesome pictures! Thanks for bringing all of us along for the ride! I have not been out that way much...really one time only in the Grand Junction/Fruita area you mentioned. We also toured the Black Canyon park. Safe travels!

    2019 EJS and SOA National/Sand Hollow prep/trip

    Yeah, i didn't mean it quite like that either...as being critical of trail leaders...sometimes it just happens. I have led quite few organized runs back in my Sno*Blind trail ride (West Branch area) days in the 90's. It can be a tough duty, but lots of fun!

    2019 EJS and SOA National/Sand Hollow prep/trip

    Man I hate that! I have run into this many times on trail rides in my old flat fender ( and Scrambler for that matter) too. Especially when the trail leader is in a newer Jeep, they ride so much smoother, I don't think they realize how beat to $#%* we are getting. Not to mention the further...
