Guys, there's other gun threads on here, let's keep this pure on Scramblers please.

It was going along so well... hate to mess up a good thread with other topics outside "What did you do with your Scrambler today?"
 
Not today but this past Saturday went wheelin @ the KSRocks Frostbite Run. Ken & Jason Adams, Mike Starkeybaum, Bill Heinz, & Ryan (don't know last name) were present. 5 Scramblers in all.

I saw some pics on Facebook that the Adams posted. Very cool that you made it out to that! Jealous!!


 
So did the Scram stay in Kansas for some updates? I thought abo flying in for Frostbite but wimped out.
 
Do those updates involve Dana 60s?

Yes for the front anyway. The rear will be a GM 14 bolt. Leaf spring over axle in the front and coil over with 4 link in the rear. 37" tires all around. Pictures in May when I pick it up
 
Temp-fixed a bad coil wire on the white one and went for a drive in the snow. Packed the new snow down on the road. Got the Nissan bellied-in and had to walk for the Zetor to pull it out. The jeep did much better. :) Finished setting up the 4.88 gears for the other Scrambler and plan to plan the axles back under it tomorrow.

I'm happy to say that I have finally completed the set of modifications to Mayahual that I started in early January.

Here are the major changes:

* Replace the Bosch electronic injection pump with a hybrid mechanical IP.

* Rewire the engine bay (necessary due to removeal of the ECU and "rats nest" of wires and sensors).

* Replace vacuum assisted braking with hydro-boost system.

* Replace 17 gallon stock fuel tank with 33 gallon fuel tank.

* Install theft prevention systems.

Here is the engine bay before the modifications:

Drove it to pick up some springs and shocks to lift my Scrambler 2.5. Almost ready for the install. Now I just need to get the bushings.

Little repair work before Easter Jeep Safari.
New leaf springs, shackles were broke, had to re-weld.

Love those Runk bumpers on there. That is plenty close to the public street though, that salt dust knows how to fly! :eek: :wave:
 
Those are untreated private and dirt roads. No worries.

No salt here...

Took the Scrambler on a 160 mile round trip to Dublin today. Went to visit a customer, and with the nice weather I decided to stretch the jeep's legs a bit.

I had to go through what's called the Diablo Range here in Central CA, and decided rather than running the commuter race on I-580 to instead go over the old Patterson Pass. Very windy road with some great views... many of them showing whats still the largest concentration of wind turbines in the world (5000 or so of them). It was pretty darn windy today too.

Ironically enough given another thread here right now, I did a quick search and found a youtube of a Miata running this pass - http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=CA&v=_Rd2Vy8NYrg
After watching a few minutes of that video I'm still laughing because that thing has more rattles than my 1984 jeep. The road is pretty rough in spots... watch the video and you'll see what I mean.

Stopped on the way over this morning and took a few pictures.
