I started this build in 2003. Bought a Scrambler, decided its too nice to cut up. Bought another scrambler, decided it was too rough. Finally bought a third and got to work in 2007. I owe my inspiration to many of you on the board.
The dates might be off - since the build spanned 6 years, 4 garages, 2 countries..
Goal:
Build a mechanically reliable rig that starts when the key is turned.
Must be able to be inspected.
Must have at least 3 seats.
Must be a scrambler.
Disclaimer - I have 3 Scramblers. One is all original. One is parts.. This will be the Rock Crawler..
My plan was to use the parts Scrambler I had as a start.
After removing the body,
I discovered the frame rot was by far the worst on the planet. Oddly enough the frame forward of the rear hangers was perfect. This Scrambler is an Auto, making it one of 400 for that year. So the title is worth what I paid, and the parts I sold have already recovered most of the cost.
I searched for a replacement frame for some time. In December 06 I found this scrambler frame and tub. But the guy was asking way to much for it.
December 06 - Karl and I picked up my Dana60/14 Bolt from a guy in Hemphill Texas.
(oooo the Death 250 liked all that weight)
