Cage looks nice- i saw the other pics.... does your hard top slip off in a neat way?

is the tail gate narrowed? - if so nice work
Title: Re: Buffalo Scrambler Build Up
Post by: wnyjpgy on May 06, 2008, 02:57:49 PM
the tail gate is narrowed, 3\" on each side of the jeep logo. It still opens.

The wheel base is 105\", it has also been shortened by 12\" in body length.

More importantly the top does slide out through the top of the cage.

I hope to have it on the road in another week, I had to build a new tow rig, and travel for work has been keeping me away from home/garage.

I need to roll it out of the garage, and get some new pics.

It\'s just about complete now.

350/700r4/241  I put a JB conversions super short shaft in it.

HP/KP 60, 14 bolt combo, 5.38\'s, 39.5 irocs\'s.

YJ leafs in the rear sprung over, RE 1444 reversed wrap 1.5 leafs in the front.

If your in buffalo sometime stop over, I can PM you my address and numbers.

NICE!!!

I really like the cage. I\'ve been wondering how to boat and exo, it looks like you solved it. I might have to borrow some of your design, if that\'s ok with you : )

The boatsides take a little work, hoever they provide a great starting point for an exocage.

I need to add some interior pics, the foot well area looks like a rib cage where the supports all tie in.

Here\'s a bad interior pic.

You can see some of the floor, the removable aluminium console and the 2003 Dodge Dakota 40/20/40 bench seat.

do you keep the seats out of the rain?  Is it an automatic?
Title: Re: Buffalo Scrambler Build Up
Post by: wnyjpgy on July 09, 2008, 07:44:15 AM
yes it\'s an auto, 700r4 behind a 350 chevy, and I run a 241 Tc with a JB conversions super short shaft kit.

I have soft uppers for the YJ half doors that I run, and a full set of steel doors for winter time wheeling. I enjoy warm temps inside the jeep on cold wheeling days.

All of my friends with tube buggies give me crap, when it starts to get bad out I can roll up my windows and turn my heat on.

not a bad idea. I just acquired a scrambler hard cab. I\'m still planning how I\'m going to build my baby exo. I plan to start work next week.
Title: Re: Buffalo Scrambler Build Up

My scrambler top is still removable through the center of the cage. I plan to add some triangulation (insert pirate4X4 smiley here) on the roof area using the nicer tube clamps with the allen bolts. It\'ll add a bunch of strength, still allowing me to remove the half cab.

Did you get the bulk head to go with the top?

If you have any questions, or want to bounce ideas back and forth, just let me know.

By the way, using the bench seat, I can seat 3 people all with harnesses.

Also, the piece of bent tube ove the bed of the scrambler, received the spare tire mount and tire last night.

sooo, are the seats waterproof?
Title: Re: Buffalo Scrambler Build Up
Post by: MrMindless on July 09, 2008, 10:53:12 AM
I really love the Dakota seat.  Three harnesses to go with it is fantastic.
Title: Re: Buffalo Scrambler Build Up
Post by: CoraC143 on July 09, 2008, 11:54:11 AM
what about the smelly sock smell when the seats get wet?
Title: Re: Buffalo Scrambler Build Up
Post by: wnyjpgy on July 09, 2008, 12:38:40 PM
I try to keep them fairly dry, between the hard top and 2 sets of doors, it\'s not bad. During the summer I carry a bikini top inthe tote mounted in the jeep bed.
