Got back to work on Scrappy. I want it done for IA, ATL.
Built New Stainless Steel brake lines
Replaced front flexlines
Bled the brakes
Headliner and accessories are in
Wago-Pro bars (or whatever the EF you wanna call them) installed
Really Bad-A$$ custom orange lug nuts machined and installed
Skateboard grip tape on the clutch and brake pedals to replace rubber pedal covers
remember kids, you have to flip the Legend calipers when bleeding them for your EF...
New 2nd Gen. 6061 Aluminium "Double Extended" Lug Nuts that I was able to machine to a 45 degree angle to match the seat of the Bassett Bead-Lock wheels. These are 66mm long, and just nasty. I love these... So much so, that I'm bringing the whole line on for the CTI website.
The Skateboard grip tape is an old trick I've been using on my race cars for years... Thought it would work great for 3rd4ce's car. What with potentially having muddy, icy or wet boots when climbing into Scrappy.. It's all about grip baby! Right 3rd4ce?
Amongst all the seemingly endless busy buzzing around the shop and projects...
I couldn't help but feel a sense of witnessing "wagon history" being written. Needed to just step back and take it in.
Found a little home for this guy that Josh1vtm got to ride along.

Looks good.
those legend calipers have been argument points about that since i put them upside down on my Odyssey back in 2007 ..... and still havent flipped them yet ...
glad them front damaged brake lines finally got replaced ...
brake and clutch peddles are very slipper when wet..!!!
hey no fair you guys washed mud off the rim and tire .... well i guess we gonna have to get it muddy again for IA..
I like the Scrappy stuffed animal riding shotgun on the Wago~Pro Bar ( might be a starting trend Rt4wd with window bars)
headliner looks nice ..... is the trunk light there with the LED there or might it be out in my garage ...
Liking the Progress... Can't wait till it hit FL and we can find some trails...
With mine gettng closer to completion and Scrappy eventually coming here.. We may have to state a Import Auto Off-Road Club..
DrMorty sounds like a plan to me ...
i got a retired Sheriff that used to ride with some OFF ROAD Jeepers gonna show me some trails from basic to extreme ..!!!
Not ashamed, just interested! You shuld know to not post pics and brag as being badd a$$ if u dont want immediate inquiries. If you want inquiries on the things that ARE avail on chaife's website, make sure yall share the link.
I'm just getting so tired of fixing and breaking and fixing all on a shoestring budget. I literaly and I do mean literally, have $200 every month after making house payments and other bills. Thank my wife for have a job to support herself and buy the groceries and diapers. I take care of everything else but she is there to do that. I AM keeping my car though. I have to try to make it comperable to this beast and bams giant. Na I'm happy where she is if I could just get her to purr like tiger again with out smoking. That snorkel of mine mixed with the hollowed cat going through to the vibrant exhaust sounds like a pack of sportbikes or way too many bees.
Btw Love what yall are doing keep it up. viagra ought to be sponsering your shop yall guys get them up and keep them up for the long haul.
jcchappy
i know the fixing and fixing issues ... dont give up
i had my exhaust fixed more times than i can count ...
this was a coworker helping when my cat fell off from rust .... :hopelessness:
as for the bees
u need to snag one of these off a dumptruck or tractor trailer ... LOL
Holy shit! Is that a 4wd wagon!? Ha Ha!:encouragement:
well it aint no WagoVan .... but i do have them window bars ...
LoL
Scrappy is still limpin'....
1. drivers adjustable toe thing is apart
2. both front autozone axles are bad
i was able to get my Florida tags ordered and a temp to limp on
it was sunny when i went into the motor vehicle and while inside it god real dark and stormed like crazy..
then i saw this pretty rainbow as i was leaving ...
where did you get the flares? im more interested in the rear flares and seeing if its possible to get 4 like that and ill just trim the width down a bit for my front.. thanks
I should mention that the Bassett wheels are Hub centric, not lug centric. Good to know when you throw it on a balance machine.
Glad to see the 'ol dog rollin' again. Also curious about the chamfered washer.
honestly not sure what that hub centric means but i appreciate you letting me know and i will surely pass it on .. ( hoping to get tires balanced and LIFETIME 4 wheel alignment this week... thanx again 503 )
now we both know i take better care of other people stuff than i do my own .... them wheels have not seen any off road action... (only grass pix posted from side of the road )
but cant wait til you get your rt back so we can have some off road fun with a few jeep guys i met here locally
