Mounted my winch. Now I need to weld on some light tabs so the I can remount my fog lights.
This makes me want to paint my grill grey

Thanks Eric. I had the grill replaced this summer when I had the engine swapped out. The old black one was rusted. My friend doing the work was able to find this gray one. I like the look and have no plans to change it! 👍

Looks good. What are your impressions of the Qtec winch?
The Scrambler proudly towed it home.

It seems pretty stout. I don't have much experience with other winches other than a nice old Warn from the 80s. This thing is pretty darn heavy. I let the cable out and rolled it back in. Super easy to use. I like it a lot so far. Hopefully it lasts a long time and is reliable when I need it.

Not today, but I've been meaning to post these for about a month:
It started getting cold, so I put on my hard top.
Last weekend though, I put on these bumperettes and paused after pulling my Scrambler into the garage. Just five years ago, I was dreaming about owning a Scrambler, and seriously considering building the one you see on the left:
While not "done," it runs, drives, and has gone wheeling. Five years ago I didn't own a home, let alone my own garage. Now I have my dream Scrambler, sitting in my own garage, next to . . . more or less three more Scramblers! WTF? But only one of those actually runs, and the other "two" are really just parts assemblages, so I guess that makes it OK, right?

WTF indeed??? It would only be MORE right if the other two both ran
I look at mine and think the same sort of thing, but it's a longer timeframe for me (and a few more miles traveled in the effort
) but coming up on 11 years ago I started my search for my first Jeep with something like mine in mind (though without it being an Alaskan Postal, or really even a Scrambler as I was open to -7s at the time, before I became "enlightened" 
)My current state is sort of like yours (but minus the 401
) if you include one postal, one Waggy partster and one XJ engine/tranny donor. Those last two are there in spirit (and parts of course). 
That reminds me, I meant to do an update in this thread too...

A couple from my too-late attempt to get out in the fall colors last week, been meaning to post them. I was out of town the weekend/week I should have tried this so I had to drive it more to try to find decent spots, tough duty.

Even if it's just in a parking lot?
By far the best tree I found. Odd as it was literally the only one within a quarter mile or so that was still in full color/leaf.
Happy early birthday!! Hope the move goes as well as moves can go.

Even if it's in a parking lot. The colors are amazing. Someone with good photoshop skills could make that curb disappear.
Thanks for the early HB and the luck on moving...I'll need it. The garage is mostly all boxed up, loaded the side yard into the trailer behind the Scrambler...close to 3000 lbs of junk...this will be a grand adventure. I'll post up some pics when we're in...

Ditto on the HB shout-out and good luck with the move!
How about some pics of the Scrambler getting worked during the move?

Finally re-installed my fog lights after having to move them for the winch. Not as pleasing to the eye as when they were inset, but not many options (not free options anyway -other than the few broken drill bits and cost of bolts).

I keep putting off the dash work I know I desperately need to do because that's exactly the kind of thing I'll end up doing and it will be down for a month at the pace I work and with the number of mistakes I'll make.
This was last Sunday,
Took Daisey, my trusty old Jeep dog out for a drive south of town on the old gravel farm roads . . . Great time, no wheeling unfortunately (still need to to fix front axle gearing) More of a shake down to find any bugs. I've got almost zero miles on this guy since purchase in spring.
