Re-Build to begin!

Little late with the update, but we did get the rear plates welded up last weekend and the entire frame painted with weld thru primer.
 
Got the axles under it and the tub set back on during the week and had to do some tweaking to the body to get the doors to fit.

Today I took the 8 to 4x4land in Topeka to have Mike put in a full roll cage.
 
Got my Scrambler back last nite, made quick trip to 4x4Land, Topeka to pick it up! Cage looks awesome and really made the Scrambler feel real solid. Didn't get much done on it today besides taking a few pictures.
 
A few pic's of the A hoop. 1/4" sandwich plates at floor bolted together. Heavy wall square tube runs up behind dash with a plate welded to the tube then it all bolts together.

A bracket was fabricated to move the parking brake so not to interfere with the tubing that goes up behind dash.

The C hoop just mounts at the rear factory roll bar location and does not tie into the frame.

B hoop. Once again 1/4" sandwich plates bolted together and ties it to the frame. The horizontal bar and the floor and angular bar running to it really makes the cage rigid.

Looks good

Looks very good Jason, wish i would have done mine like that, mine has been pieced together over the years and it looks it! :(
 
Good stuff. Mike knows how to make it happen.
I like the a pillars and how they maximize floor space.:cool:
 
That looks WAY awesome Jason, I know you are going to be even more proud of it now than before. Breaks happen for a reason sometimes ahy?

On the cage did you guys use 1.75 x .120 Dom? Or was it HREW? Or is that even the diameter?

Mike you are right, Mike makes it happen for sure...
 
Thanks for the compliments guys, all it takes is $, blood, sweat and lots of beers!

Few pic's of the the A post and how it all ties together.
 
Few more pic's, these are the B post and how it ties in.

Added holes to cage for mounting of rear seat, front seat belts and mounting hi-lift jack. Removed cage and is now ready for the powder coater.

Separated tub from frame (again!). Forgot about hole for parking brake cable in frame (the frame plates covered it up), once the hole is cut and axles removed it is also off for powder coating.
 
Looks good Jason. Was at Mike's today getting those Rockwells, he had two Scramblers he was working on in addition to the one on the floor. Had an interesting desing where he cut out the floor board and put in a remoavable plate so you could access the tranny and transfer case (Atlas) from the top.
 
Got a little done this past week.

Cleaned up the rear axle and painted.

Decided to do the heater blower motor upgrade and new core.
 
Powder coating done

Got frame and roll cage back today.

The frame on top is Dads (Ken-pappywaho)

Gotta really get busy now!!!!!!!

A few pics of what has been going on lately.

Just set the cage on the frame to get it of the way.
Shows how it all ties in.

Got the motor cleaned up and should get it back in this weekend.
