Started another retro scrambler build

[02tj]

I traded my 47 Willys project for a 83 scrambler. My plans are to retro fit (just like did in 2010) A 4.0 OBD2 4.0 and a aw4 from a 2001 Cherokee. I have a old thread her but figured I’d start a new one here so the few that don’t watch YouTube can see the build. It really needs everything gone threw and rebuilt. Diffs are all leaking, fuel tank skid bent and the old tired 258 and 999 are just done! Here’s a bit of my progress in pics and the link if you want to watch the build on YouTube the link is in my signature.

So while cleaning up my fuel rail I found a compromised spot that leaks in the rail and 4 out of the 6 injectors bodies are cracked. New stuff is on the way!!

What injectors did you go with? I am needing a set myself.

Bought the eBay special 4 hole upgrade

Got the newer fuel rail in and the new 4 hole injectors today. Headed to the Mason Dixon Flat Fender show tomorrow or I would be putting these in and get the engine and drivetrain in the scrambler..

Well the engine and trans and transfer case are in the engine is running. All that’s left is the 20% that takes 80% of the time. Fuel system is 70%run shifters for both t-case and trans need to be installed. I have a surprise for the dash some of you will hate and some will love.

Pulled all of the gauges out of the dash, lates out a cover 14 gauge sheet of metal, installed rivnuts to bolt all the new goodies in!

 

[02tj]

Installed freshly painted fenders hood and grill, ran all new grounds and reinstalled the forward light harness to include new IPF headlight globes and hella fat boy bulbs. Painless sent me a h4 stand alone headlight harness and that’s in there too!!

Next on the list is my new 1350 adams drive shaft!! If y’all haven’t see this @bleepinjeep tool for the yokes yet it sure is handy!! Hold the yoke while you torque or loosen the pinion nuts! I just use my jack handle on the flats.
