i've considered it but to let the truth be known the ORIGINAL scumby was a white 84 postal cj-8 right hand drive with a full world cab. so maybe it's more fitting to retain the color. i can still add the scumby decals on this one though. then the half cab would commemorate the second.

Well, I registered back in late June.
I have a user name. I have a password.
I can log on, but only to get a message that I do not have permission to access anything.
I guess I have been banned without even making one post.

Thanx Al, PM sent.
That sure is a purdy rear axle housing. Still the 8.8?
I screwed up when I did my rear Rubi D44 axle swap, I set up all my angles with the Heep completely empty. Not even a gas tank in it.
By the time I put everything else back on: Full fuel tank, spare tire, recovery bag, tool bag, etc., etc., everything changed, and I had some driveline vibes on the steep uphill climbs my first trip out. Something to watch for on the coil springy TJ's I guess! I'm still a newb and learning as I go.

toby is right hi-9 by currie with 4.56's and an arb.
do you have adjustable control arms? if so you can adjust that pinion angle.

Nice!
Yep, adjustable uppers and lowers. And re-adjusted.
Everything worked great at Liberty the last few days.
