Patches? Frankenborg?

Name the Scrambler

I'm not the one to name most of my Jeeps... but I think every Jeep should have a name.  I mean, you need something to curse when it hits the fan.  So, I'm thinking that since this Scrambler is comprised of many Jeeps and many Jeep's parts the name of it should have something to do with that.



I like "Patches" because like a raggedy Anne doll, this Jeep is comprised of many different pieces and parts I swapped for across the country.  Plus, "Patches" is a nice one syllable word, which makes for easy cussin'.

Cheap Diesel



I also like "Frankenborg" or some derivative thereof (like Frankenstein, or "the Monster") since this Jeep is being brought to life from parts of dead Jeeps.  Maybe I won't have the lightning to animate it, but the parts of dead Jeeps is a strong argument for the Frankenstein and since my last name is Trasborg, it seemed to fit.  Problem is, it doesn't yell as well, and it just doesn't have the same je ne sais quoi as "Patches" does.

What do you guys think?

Oh, here's some random pics from the trip.
