What did you do with your Scrambler today?

Not to hijack by any means, but I just got a set of white waggies that I can't use the fronts off of because I am going to put them on a set of 6 bolt hubs (78 CJ5). I will use the rears though. If anyone needs them, I am am looking for another spare white wagon wheel.

Put on all 4 chains to go get the fifth tire put on the rim. Some deep drifts.

Calibrating an injection pump?
Click to expand...

Yes. Adjusting the advance, fuel/ RPM "graph", and about 3 other things that were "WAAAAY" beyond my understanding. I am beginning to understand how non-linear the process is for the calibration of Bosch VE pump and was suprised when the Guru slightly changed one spring tension and values went for "OK" to 5hit instantly. He saw my disapointment and laughed "Hold your horses Greenhorn"... He then made another adjustment using a hammer and drift... And the IP went from bad to EXTREMELY GOOD! I asked him how many of the VE style pumps he had built and the proudly said over 2000 of them! COOL!

My new mechanical "hybred" (made from re-machined electronic IP bits and pieces) has the same fuel/ RPM graph as the electronic pump... But I can manually turn up the fuel volume to +/- 200% of the electronic pump (as much as a built series 1 Cummins 6BTA)!!!!

I'm "creeping" into the fuel increase though... No need to smoke my sweet Benz motor.

On another note: I fulled my old fuel tank yesterday and worked on fitting my new 33 gallon Aero-Tank. I'm stoked because the Aero-Tank is really well made... But MAN what a PITA!!! They sell you the tank with the mounting tabs undrilled and I had to fit the tank, suss the bolt location on the back cross member. Pull the tank, drill the tab, re-fit the tank, transfer-punch the frame cross member, pull the tank, drill the cross member, re-fit the tank... And do it all over again for the front tab! Luckly i was able to borrow a transmission jack from a neighbor, but gosh...I'm whooped!

Well, the new pump is ready to be mounted up to the motor!

And then it is time to strip the essential wires.

Mounted b-day present!!!! Only took 6 months. Not new, but new to me. Amazing what fresh paint and decals can do!

Got the half top put on that I picked up from Kctango ImageUploadedByTapatalk1361738217.463683.jpg
Upper half of the doors don't fit quite right but I don't usually have doors on anyways
 
Installed new AGR steering box (super 2). Fixes leak on garage floor. Really shocked at how different the steering feels. Before it was Cadillac easy where one finger could do all steering under all conditions. Now it's almost as if there is no PS at all. I tested with and wo engine running, and does appear to make small difference. Steering is the tightest I have ever felt on a cj (should be with new tr, borgelson, and AGR box).

Also hooked up windshield wipers!!! New blades! Adjusted and tested, appear to work great!

Any suggestions on retrofitting and improving the squirters? Mine broke on removal. Anybody mount some to the hood?
 
Found a leaking seal on the left rear wheel- the same corner where I found a twisted axle shaft a while back.:angry:

So, I drove the Cherokee to the gun show...

Looks good. Nice stance and I also like the tall narrow look of the tires. My last set of tires were 33x9.50 and looked good.
 
I ran my jeep on a long shake down run 150 miles on the interstate sat, got there and topped off the tank and it took just under 5 gal of fuel. I was running it hard so it should get better mpgs when I take it easy. So far so good.
 
I really like the "tire-flush-to-flare" look on a Jeep; that's the way a Jeep should look...or any vehicle. Thumbs way up!!
