    Looking for a set of nice side boards

    I’m bummed out that I have been looking for a set of side boards and one just got sold on here. (I am new to the site and didn’t realize the posts extended .... it was set to display only a months worth of postings. ). Reproduction is fine, but I’d like it to look authentic. I could have them...

    Recommendations for modest lift

    I was wondering if someone might have some suggestions for a modest lift/replacement for current springs. I will be keeping it fairly stock, 31 or 32 inch tires. Half top no back seat. For the Cj7 we used the OME kit from Rocky Road (we did hit a few snags). I haven’t had a chance to ride...

    Florida '84 Scrambler

    This bumper took about 6 hrs cut out the passenger side half... until I realized the wheel I was using for the 3/16ths bracket was a grinding wheel and a cutting wheel. Getting the right cutting wheel, I was done in about 45 minutes. I also finished cutting out the rear crossmember and test...

    Florida '84 Scrambler

    As promised the work by Titan was done in a week, but it took me a couple of weeks to get there to pick it up. They were very professional, prompt and delivered .30 with an RV cam.

    the original 258 off to the machine shop... I opted for Titan engines in Ocala which is about 75 miles away... they gave a 3 yr warranty and the other two shops I went to were .... well not what I expected. The first shop I couldn't get the guy to give me anything other than one word answers...

    Laredo Wheels

    I have an 84 with the wide track, but I'd love to have 12.5 inch tires.... if there are no contra-indications than 15x8, but I wonder if there are fitment issues with the wide track and the 8 inch? any advice?

    Florida '84 Scrambler

    The Scrambler is a 1984. I think I essentially have two of everything. I am getting ready to take the engine to the machine shop, but I'm unsure which engine to send. The Engine that is on it, which I think is the original engine is stamped: BZ EF3235444 on drivers side, and 309C29 on the...

We arrived at the hotel Dustin suggested at 0230, crashed out and woke up at 0700. We headed out to Dustin's, loaded up the tub by 0900...
