Seems strange that it would run as long as it did if it was shimmed to tight. But you are the master. I was always going to FI it also. In fact I have a harness that I started braking down but just never finished it.

How did uber get the name, uber?

Well it all started in grade school. There was this Jeep named chuck that used to pick on green Scout and steal his gas money every day. Well this went on for a few years until one day green Scout realized how much bigger and stronger he had become then the little Jeep chuck. So the next day when chuck n. The Jeep came around to take green scouts gas money. Green Scout said today it stops. So he and chuck n. The Jeep headed for the playground to settle things. Followed by the entire car lot all chanting “fight fight fight” so they make their way out back and green Scout lays the smack down on ‘norris the Jeep” the other cars all start chanting “uber Scout” “uber Scout” uber Scout”! As chuck n. The Jeep lay in a pool of his own atf. That was the last time chuck came to school. Rumor was that he went down to CA to hide out in a movie studio parking lot. But from that day forward green Scout was known as uber Scout.

He left out the part about uber taking steroids and having bionic surgery.

If by steroids you mean ninja tree guards and bionic surgery you mean fuel injection then yes. Uber wouldn't be able to pass a piss test from the pro baseball players union.
even bonds can get over on one of those.

He has been aproched by an oil company to endorse his own line of 'uber oil" but the deal hasn't been struck yet.
as for the license plate......his owner is a tight ass and won't spend the $$ on the bling...

...and uber's owner is talking about version 2.0.
More juice?

Na the juice is fine. Uber needs more flex and he is hard on rear axles. So I had Jeff get me the new RuffStuff custom 9" housing.
that will be one of the 2.0 mods. I have a few others in store too. My fab guy was over yesterday and he is home making some sketches today. I'll start a re-build thread once I'm under way. ..

Uber 2.0 = quick release body panels for the trail, quick release wheel hubs and fan mounts. Built in drawers for spare parts storage. A "crows nest" seat mounted on top where the less desirable navigators will sit and push tree branches away from uber.

Uber 2.0 is going to be lean and mean...no drawers for storage.
I'm going to hire a homeless guy to follow me around with spare parts. I'll pay him with 1/2 empty beer cans...scoutdude80

Which brings us back to the original issue…we need a longer ramp for the linked up scouts.
Uber gonna git limber pert soon!! Give the ub'ster a message for me…..he love it. He’ll take ya on a ride you won’t forget.

Be careful, you might actually end up with one of those unionized, gilded, cardboard panhandlers who make more than you do and they might decide to use the parts for their own rig. Probably a Jeep. Then you might find yourself afoul of the cardboard panhanlder's guild/union and get spit on every time you hit an offramp.

And for those of us with flexy leaf spring suspensions. I drove to the end of the ramp last year. Maybe adding another 16-24inches would help.
I think monte will have something to say about that crows nest.
