Default really really close now!!!
Just got back from the workshop where the scrambler has been for the last couple of months and its looking like it will be ready to bring home later next week..Just waiting for rear tail shaft to go in as needed an oddball size output yoke to suit dana300 to 9 inch rear uni.(big tailshaft to small transfer output not good,going bigger unis..need bigger yoke with standard 300 spline type)
Anyway it starts ,runs and sounds absolutely awesome with its 350 horsepower ramjet.Should go o.k..might have trouble with brake booster still but wont know til we drive it.
Hoping to take it out over cupday weekend and might even try to get tjtom and tim with the green cj from jambo to come for a spin as well.
so ..fingers crossed for later in the week..
It really does sound good!!
will post pics next weekend when its home..just have to put the jk out of the garage now..might have to build a carport methinks.
cheers steve

Hey Chris
tyres wont get any cleaner
himount should be on today
havent got a spare 36" tyre yet
hopefully getting out next weekend

The paint is just a single pack epoxy antirust type and the colour is called X15 and is pretty much the paint used on industrial applications like dexion shelving etc..
probably not the ideal paint but looks good for the $120 bucks it cost me to paint the whole thing.easy to thin, apply etc.
cheers
steve
