Jeff - My Scrambler gets used for wheeling and camping. Though I really haven't been able to do much of either for quite awhile now, but I'm hoping to change that once I get her put back together.

Really I have only encountered one climb where I ended up with the cheezy rear chrome bumper in the dirt and I had to back down and ended up ripping off the bumper and twisting the cross member :shrug:.

Mainly I just like the way bobbed Scramblers look, and I also thought if it was bobbed then you could actually run a rear bumper with a tire carrier on it without it being even more ridiculously long in the rear end.

Mine will most likely end up just getting full length corner guards and possibly a beefer rear cross member and I will call it good. But you never know...:cool:

the other alternative is to lenthen the driveline and move the rear axle towards the back :D

BigPR, I like that kind of thinking......:cheers:

I have thought about that numerous times... the possibility of running 48s or 54s with 120+" between axles sounds heavenly :drool:

With the bob, I had dreamed of lengthening the tub, frame and rear driveline. At my age it is tough enough getting into the rig the way she sits. Just think if z2w sat another 6" to 10" inches taller.. :rotfl: what a joke watching an old man climb in:D

The next cut will be made just over the top rear portion of the fuel tank. Checked and double checked to be certain there are no lines that would be in the way. . No need to mix sparks with cut fuel lines. :crazy:

You can see alittle more of the damage to the rear cross member/bumper support thats hindered some of my fun.

Marking the next cut…. I won't cut as much as I need this time until I line up the rear section of the tub to make the final fit.





Making the cut…



You can see here the frame’s body supports that I was hoping to place and secure the rear portion of the tub onto.

 
Hey Captain,

For some reason it didn't come out on the thread the way I entered it.

Try going to the jeep Forum - Do a search for TJ rear cross member. It's worth a look.

Merry Christmas to All,

Captain Jack
 
I can't believe you dented ny baby--shame on you jeff :drool:

ha ha ha

Lookin good and of course its all apart of the evolution..
 
Maybe I missed it, but did this ever get finished?

Yes... finished and wheeled :D As you might imagine .... what a huge difference on approach and departure angles.. I hope to finish posting the rest of the pics here in the near future.

Hows your journey going?

z :ZZZ:
 
Awesome, can't wait to see the finished pic's!

I haven't made much progress on my rig. I got most of the frame painted, and the body still needs to be top coated. But now that it's cold as hell I'm not sure that's going to happen for awhile. I'm looking into seeing if I can get some sort of propane heater for the garage so I can get this damn thing painted and put back together!
 
I love the soft gracious prompt Randy. :thumbsup:

Removing the back part of the frame makes it so much easier on the back to stand behind the rig as the final measurements and cuts are made to fit the rear portion of the tub back together with the rest of the body.





 
Have you ever made multiple measurements and you keep second guessing yourself.. lol :rotfl:

I had the rear section cut like I wanted so the only cutting was on the main portion of the bed and side panels. As we placed the rear portion on 2 or 3 times we measured and made the cuts. The key..don't remove too much.

lol:D A friend of mine just sent that to me a few months ago. Here is another picture that I am glad I have...well sort of ;) My very first trail damage and go figure :shrug: so much for a spotter..... and they didn't say a word :banghead: The very 1st boo boo:eek: If you look close to the left side of the front bumper you can see it is in the process of being bent. Another reason why I needed to do a few modifications on z2w.
