My Big Red Scrambler

[bigwalton]

I will have to change the wheels as there is to much back spacing and the tires are hitting the springs at full lock. I need to find a set of wheels with less back spacing so that the tires set out away from the body more.

Sorry to hear it but IMO this has a massive silver lining--I have never been able to get with the look of those wheels on any Jeep. The front lockouts just stick out SO far and the "lugnut circle" just looks unfinished to me. Don't mean to criticize, just a personal taste thing, but I can't wait to see what you swap in

No criticizem taken. I’ve been looking at the same thing.
Your not going to like what I put on there though. It’s probably going to be h2 wheels just like the other set I have down stairs with the Krawlers on them.

Doh!

Honestly I'd like them to be full width for stability but they are what they are.

YES. Let’s go down this rabbit hole. There’s cookies down here.

Got some metal bent up to make a switch box for the arb controls. Going to put this over the radio holes in the dash similar to what I did on dads Jeep.
Also got the front drive shaft in and tried to flex it some. Looks like everything is going to clear.

F body camaro oil pan is on! Now I can get the exhaust done.
Had to pull the atlas b/c I had a leak at the transmission. Pita.

Pics got out of order above. Last pic is the stock truck pan, shows how far it hanges down.

Got the front bumper and winch on tonight.

The only sad part is how terribly bad you are going to beat that beautiful thing on the trails....ok, not sad.

Well, at least he’ll be beating on his own instead of your’s.

Beat it till it breaks and then beat it for breaking

Lowered the seat brackets 2” yesterday.
Fixed driver bracket is pretty easy.
The flip forward passenger side not some much. Not sure if I’m sold on it yet.

 

[Jeeperdd]

Didn’t get a pic but the cage came back out yesterday evening to get final welding and painted

Is that the ruff stuff 1 ton steering?

Those brakes lines look really exposed.
