Well we went on vacation headed to Kentucky & about 6 hours away from home some guy looses control trying to avoid a retread. He slammed into the front of the camper & caused us to jack knife! In process we hit his son traveling in front of him & in left lane (we were in right lane) and moved...

So I saw a Craigslist ad for an AMC 20 with 3:31 gearing & limited slip. I called & talked to seller & he claims it has limited slip. It came from an 85 CJ& Laredo. He siad the wheels turn in the same direction like it should if it was limited slip (posi). He sent me a picture of inside the...

My buddy & I just bought this Jeep to fix n flip. It has this brush guard that looks similar to ones I have seen in pics that might be an OEM Jeep part. Can anyone tell how to determine if this is an OEM brush guard? We do not want it so are looking to sell it. I think old CJs look better with...

I am not sure where to post this so moderators, feel free to move if appropriate. I am also a wood worker and got a little flyer in a mail pack with this product: http://www.struckcorp.com/mini-beep/ It is a 4/5 scale model of a WWII Jeep. I have sent for some literature and will see how it...

I bought a whole 83 CJ-7 for parts for very cheap. I am pulling off anything good for parts to sell or use in my rebuilds. I cracked the front axle last night & found this & am trying to ID what is is. I am suspecting it might be a locker of some type. First pic is Dana 30 with this unknown part...

I bought a Kayline full soft top with the fast track system from fstock59 (thnx TJ) & most of it is there. It has one corner ripped but along the seams so my canvas shop should have no problems fixing. It has just a couple parts missing so I am looking for dimensions : tail gate clips (there is...

I am glad you asked! I bought this little cheap Long Chih trailer from a friend who is moving. He bought it for the bearings for his other trailer with same wheels cause he could not find replacements. I picked it up for $25. I have a bearing set on order for both sides. I also am extending the...

Well here goes... officially have started the first Scrambler rebuild. Originally I was calling in my "practice Scrambler " build but a couple buddies thought that was a weird name so I decided on Resurrection cause it is pretty far gone. Here are the specs- I have 2 junk Scrambler- 83 Swiss...

Does anyone know if the plate that covers the Xfer/transmission hole in the floor hump is same for SR5 & a 4 speed- not sure if T4 or SR4. I bought an 81 Scrambler that has a 5 speed- I think SR5 based on shifter with a curve. There is no floor plate. I can make one (did that for the YJ cause...

The head lights on my 85 would sometimes work & sometimes not. If driving at night, this is NOT a good thing! :crazy: I dug in & this is what I found at the dimmer connector. I had removed the harness from my "swiss chesse" 83 Scrambler & it had the connector I needed. I liberally coated it with...

:banghead::banghead::banghead: Well I spent a lot of time Saturday figuring out what was wrong with the one hub for the free floating axle system on my 85 Scrambler AMC 20 axle. The little star wheel inside the hub got bent. I thought it was all squared away & I was able to perform heroics &...

Before I start the rebuild, I need to do some repairs. I want to drive my Scrambler over the summer then start the rebuild next Winter. I have had to fix some of the "normal" things that wear out on a26 year old vehicle- power steering lines, thermostat, etc. My Scrambler is a 1985 with no power...

I am looking for ideas for an overhead console to mount things like some interior lights as well as Stereo & CB & possibly some small storage areas (can't have enough in a Jeep!). I want to be able to use the 1/2 hard top as well as a full soft top so tying into the roll bar is not an option. I...

I just bought an 85 Scrambler to play with & restore. I know I have some patching to do, but for a midwest CJ, it is not in too bad shape. It is not as good as I hoped, but not as bad as I feared. :fingerscrossed: I will try to post some picks of it. But I need to solicit some advise & a...
