Whipped up another bracket for the front frame to axle hose and got it secured at both ends.
Got hard lines made to connect to the caliper hoses. Re-used some of the coiled protective sleeves on the front lines due to the routing.
Got the master bleed, mounted and hooked into the...
Finished plumbing up the rear with new copper nickel lines between the braided hoses.
Made a little bracket to bolt the hose to a diff cover bolt.
Installed a tab on the frame to secure that end with the correct style clip and routed the vent hose up.
Cleaned out powder coating of the...
I decided to dig into the brake system project today. Starting to realize I’m not the greatest at documenting my work as I go. Got everything attached to the firewall pulled out, including the pedal assembly.
Old stuff wasn’t exactly old but I was never happy with how it worked. It was a cheap...
Negative battery cable was definitely on its last leg upon further inspection. Thankfully it lasted long enough to get us back home yesterday.
Stiff and corroded
Fresh replacement from the universal selection at O’Reilly’s. Perfect length to reach the engine block, miss the headers, and not...
Hit a car show for a local elementary school this morning. Pulled up into a line of newer JKs and JLs and one lone early CJ5 or M38 can’t really recall now.
My bud’s 66 Mustang I help him wrench on from time to time.
A little while later we catch a clean Scrambler pulling up. Ended up being...
Finally got a small project I attempted after getting the axles re-geared. Speedometer was never really correct but close enough for my use, until the new gears went in. According to all the charts I saw online, my combo of 5.13 & 37s called for a 39 tooth gear.
Well I attempted to swap it...
@certifiablejeep it definitely makes things interesting trying to make bolt-ons bolt on when it’s a mishmash of parts and brands. That’s what makes it fun to me though.
Took a ride out to a Toys for Tots cruise-in prior to Christmas. A few cool old jeeps, but mostly C10 and F100 crowd...
Well been a busy couple months and haven’t driven or worked on the Scrambler much. The local Jeep shop got the gears and diffs done for me as well as ball joints, u-joints in the front axles, and a few other odds and ends. They also aligned it. It drives way better with the 5.13s and straight...
Couple updates from the last couple weeks. Added a Bestop bikini top in place of the full soft top.
Finally completed wiring of the KC led lights on the front. They’re a little more modern looking but I feel like they fit the overall look of my rig.
Got it out for a few cruising days.
And in...
Finally hopped back on getting the suspension work done the last couple days. Didn’t take may progress pics. Got the rear Ford shock towers welded to the frame. Hindsight, should’ve drilled and bolted.
Lower mounts welded to the axle and shocks dangling waiting on lower bolts. Also notice the...
Small update, spent some time in the shop todays. Got the factory shock mounts cut off and cut off an old mount that looked to be for a track bar where the driver front bump stop goes. Unbolted the passenger side bump stop and cleaned up both frame rails. Mocked up the new Daystar bump stops...
Thanks! It runs great, other than the spin cam bearing requiring a rebuild a couple years ago. I keep it off the interstate, but it cruises the highway no problem and way more power than I need.
