What did you do with your Scrambler today?

More prepping of the tub to get ready for my raptor liner install. Trying to decide if I want to go over the rails or not...
 
Grinded the Runck bumper then primed and painted it.

Can't tell in the pics how much better it looks.

Going to work on installing the bumper section tomorrow and seeing about the issue with the tail lights and how to latch the swing as well.
 
Ok. Went ahed and took the old bumper off and put the Runck bumper on. I set it back a few inches and don't have to worry about the tail lights getting in the way.

And until I get a latch figured out, here is what I got going on.

Oh and It came with lug nut on the carrier. I got the two regular ones off, but can't get the stupid lock lug nut off. Crud. I even tried heat. I got tired so I will deal with it more tomorrow.
 
I changed the oil in the engine, transfer case and differentials.....it all looked good, no metal chunks or even filings. Tomorrow, new spark plugs.
 
Took my sweet wife, kiddo, and (Stinker)Belle the dog to Chick-Fil-A then to the local greenway and dog park. Wore everybody out. Beautiful day today in North Alabama. We all enjoyed it.

Picked up a toasty 8274 that was until today attached to a bronco that hadn't moved in 15 years. My 2 hours of labor was worth more than I spent on it. The rust really didn't want to let it go.

Should be an interesting side project. The only problem is the weather has made the SN and build date unreadable so initially getting the right parts will be a challenge.
 
Sanded and primered roll bar and top Painted my top white. Will be painting the body bright red soon, I hope. Getting roll bar out took some effort and two cut off wheels.

With a little help from my dad we put the hard top back on the jeep. The windows on the soft top were completely fogged up so it was not safe to drive with it on anymore and it looked like shizzzz as well. Now that is just the kick in the pants that I needed to get my hard doors stripped and painted before it get cold. Needed at little seat time in the Jeep so I met the Mrs and little man and some friends at IHOP!

Drove the wife to work. Any day that starts with a Scrambler ride getting over 70 MPH is a good day. :thumbsup:

dont you mean any day that the Scrambler starts before noon? :rotfl:
 
Had an awesome evening of the wifey and little man helping me take the back seat out and getting the rear speakers moved back in the half cab. Got it back to full on truck mode again!
 
Drove a couple miles into town with the new 360 installed. Was close enough I knew it wouldnt over heat. Our local small brewery got in "howlers" which are half size gowlers (32 oz). Splurged and got one for me and one for my wife.

Felt good stepping on the gas and actually getting a response from the motor instead of "You want me to do what now?" from the 232 that was in there.

:cheers:
 
Made a fellow forum member happy...:SOA: :thumbsup:

Enjoy Greg (Kiko)... :wave:
 
figured out why my windshield washer pump wasnt working... The wire connector fell off the pump because the connector wasnt tight anymore. Bent it with a screw driver and it was as good as new.

Then I had to adjust the squirters since one was shooting washer fluid sideways across the garage and the other at the top of the tub.
 
Kids spent the night at the grandparents so at the wife's request we took the Scrambler to a nice dinner. Got the spot right next to the outdoor dining and got to hear people talking about the Scrambler throughout our dinner. Beautiful drive home from dinner with some cool crisp air and a great sunset. I don't drive it much at night so I did discover that my light behind my Tach is going in and out. Might have to look at that when I'm done with the other projects.

Excellent! :thumbsup:
 
Changed the oil yesterday. Then loaded up the water toys and went to the lake after my wife got home from work. We're hitting the lake just about every other day, and the Scrambler always gets lots of comments and thumbs-up. The best thing is we're actually driving the Scrambler a lot more- a tank of gas doesn't last 2 months anymore. More like 2 weeks. And, with a mixture of highway/city and showing off at the cruise, I averaged 16MPG, which is great IMHO, considering the lousy aerodynamics with the top off and a canoe and SUP strapped to the roof.
