    Not only is this my favourite rig on this site . . But this just became my favourite picture on this site.

    Does anyone know of any fun day wheeling near Truckee?

    Ok, for what it's worth to those interested in the 4Xe, I drove it 1688 miles over 3 weeks. About 65 of those miles were off road, maybe 20 were pretty challenging for a stock rig. I charged the rig only twice, so every bit of driving for the most part was petrol and never stop-and-go. One...

    Building a Scrambler from left overs

    @Interceptor With packs on high, it replaces the air about every 90 seconds. With packs on medium about every 3 minutes. With packs on low about every 5 minutes. Most carriers run packs medium for fuel savings unless the cabin is full or we are in high heat and humidity, then packs high...

    Hiked up from Squaw Valley (now called 'Palisades Tahoe' due to offended folks in San Francisco) up to Squaw peak and took the tram down. Took about 3.5 hours and climbed 3000', and so great.

    KISS Daily driver (keep it simple stupid)

    I wish mine had that plate. I didn't know enough about Jeeps when I bought mine to know it was missing🤔

    Is this worth saving?? 81 4 cyl..

    I understand the Super Scorpion package was aimed at the metal heads. Wildly popular in the mid-west. Came with the top-of-line Kraco Super Bass system, factory fury wheel cover and an AMC skull shift knob. VERY rare.

    Is this worth saving?? 81 4 cyl..

    I'd say it's a 5 between it and that Willys wagon. Looks like a great cache; imagine if it was in New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona..... anywhere dry. What a find!

    New York history would scare the tar out of me.... rust in NY is a whole 'nuther level of scary. Having said that though, everything is replaceable on these rigs.

    Another Scrambler Purchase/Road Trip - UPDATE- BODY ON FRAME AGAIN

    Agreed. Me too. After shearing a factory pin I realised they are pretty inadequate.

    FJ Cruiser or 40 series? I think I see the distinctive lines of a 40 in the shadows. So many folks call the 40 an FJ now we can't know for sure. I've had over a dozen 40s, 42s, 45s and 47s. I'm a big fan. The FJ never did anything for me though. Liked it to the A pillar, but they lost me at...

    V8 scrambler

    My '81 is a Joop, so I wonder if it isn't just how whomever put the die in that morning did it.

    V8 scrambler

    Good question. I thought it was 1981. But I'm not sure why I thought that as I can't find it anywhere on the intertwebs right now. I have a vague recollection of reading that in one of my manuals.

    help with a CJ8 Restoration

    Sey, The Blazer blower motor is one of those upgrades that only a true scrambler expert would ever notice (most of whom are on here and would likely agree it's a good improvement). These will never, ever be concourse vehicles. You'll find that because they are truly orphan vehicles (AMC is...

    Advise on price to ask for CJ-8 Scrambler

    'Friends' and car dealers are seldom the same person in my experience.

    Advise on price to ask for CJ-8 Scrambler

    You can post one picture at a time without joining. A few pictures underneath, the floors and engine will give us a good idea of value. Your car dealer 'friend' is looking to make a very nice profit off of the Scrambler is my guess. Your best bet for making the best return/ highest sale price...

    Does anyone know of any fun day wheeling near Truckee?

    Just as stunning as last time I was here in the 90s, except REALLY built up and largely Spanish- speaking. Now it feels a lot like Northern Italy as far as the build up.

    Does anyone know of any fun day wheeling near Truckee?

    The take away from a ninety mile route around lake tahoe and along the towns that surround it Is that you want to make sure your battery is fully charged before you head out on a trip. The best I could manage on the car indicated was about twenty miles per gallon. The actual fuel economy was 20.2.

    I just looked out front and there are little cameras. I bet you're right. I'm really over the modern society.
