well i got sick of not wheeling so i pulled the cj out of storage. got a new tbi adapter and a non ghetto ebay special red air filter assembly, replaced the rear shocks, retubed the rear pretzeled drive shaft and still need to redo the tube on the front shaft. the brake master cylinder needed to be replaced so i did that but still need to order an adjustable push rod for the booster so i can make the brakes firmer. i then replaced the stock crappy steering box mount that was cracked with a hd unit and added a steering box brace. Flem has agreed to come over tuesday afternoon to help me finally tune up the efi and get it running right so after that it should be good to go. lots of little problems left but it should be wheelable. just in time for spring break

played with the jeep this weekend. went to south texas hunting/ bachelor party and got my first javelina. about 70 lbs. It's good to see the jeep back in action and i'm going to register it as an antique after the new year and start driving it around houston.

Never got around to redoing the tbi so to get it reliable I've ordered a 38/38 weber carb for the time being which will work nicely with my 4.0 head and hei. Putting the beadlocks and tsl's back on it and making a front driveshaft and spare. Should be loading trailer friday morning and heading out Friday afternoon when Brian gets off work.

Time to step up a bit
82 Scout 44s) spooled front/rear, 5.38s, alloy USA inners, new Yukon outers, warn hubs with 3 or 4 spare hubs, spare stock inner/outer fronts and 6 rear shafts, bronco rotors, Chevy calipers, 2.5x8 PSC ram, front Clayton 3 link, double triangulated rear.
Also full psc hydro ram and air shocks rear and some serious wb modifications
I'm getting an orbital, lines and fittings and rear air shocks from scott so i belive i have everything i need to go linked and hydro.
All my current springs are trashed and most of the mounting points and a few cracks in the frame. I have been running the same suspension since hs. Time for an upgrade
yes i know 60s would have been nice but these are set up ready to go and end up costing 1/3 and i'm keeping my 36's and have a spare set of front chromo stubs laying around beyond the ones i just bought so i'm guessing i will be ok. I do have a detroit in the old d44 in the rear of the cj i could swap in if i decide i don't like one of the spools.

That's quite an accomplishment since Scout production ended in 1980.

haha I just copied the add from texas 4x4 where I bought them. This is my first experience with anything scout related.

Just because you have "1982" axles, doesnt mean you have to use 1982 insults
