What did you do with your Scrambler today?

and then I turned my attention to the license plate holder... yes, it is a TJ holder, and yes, I know, it isn't CJ. I just prefer it, I think it looks pretty nice and it doesn't rattle at all.

I used the same one I had laying around my shop. I agree it does look good and no rattles!

Got the new Dana 300 installed finally and drove around the block playing with the 4wd... Probably irritated one of the neighbors that got stuck behind me in 4low😬. Then got the winch installed and mocked up some HMMWV seats in the rear to see how they would fit...

Now it's time to drive to work.

Had to drive it to the shop to get a saftey before it can be liscenced. Also took new steering box to be put in, asked to get the timing done, change all fluids in everything that needs fluids. The shop is 15km (7miles or so for USA friends) but it was the first time in about 18 months that it had driven that far. It was also the first time in 13 years I had gone that far in a Scrambler since taking apart my first one in 1999. Felt good!

I have heard of burping one and might have done it without realizing that was what was happening. Can you explain this procedure?
 
Sure. Opened the radiator while cold. Then started the engine and let it warm up. Added coolant/water slowly. And pushed down on the bumper to "burp" the air bubbled out of the system and let them come to the opening of the radiator. Added more coolant until i could watch the flow without new bubbles. That is all I did. It works. Saw it described to me on this great forum once when I was having temp issues in the past.
 
First I helped the neighbour pull out a couple stumps!!
Then took the Jeep for ice cream!!!

Had to use the big dually for an anchor. The 8274 was dragging the Jeep into the back yard!!

Dont mind the strap. It slid up and almost off as soon as the tree came over.

Installed a 1980 Corvette master cylinder and bled the brakes(for the 15th f-ing time). The stock replacments I had bought(all new) kept leaking from the cap. This one has a better cap design, slightly larger bore 1.125, bolts right up to the booster, but the front/rear brake lines are reversed. I will see how it works, hopefully no more leaks. :fingerscrossed:

 
My old one did that as well. Have not noticed it since I replaced it last weekend, but I am keeping an eye one it. That Corvette one looks really good.
 
I finally got around to putting speakers in the Scrambler. I was told the drivers side is a pain and that the dash has to be removed to put the speaker in. I looked at it and removed the parking brake assembly and the speaker went right in. A little trimming of the bracket for the brake and all done. Now Im just waiting for the radio to be delivered and I can hear some music.

I recently built a new house and the final step in moving in was to bring the new project over. So what did I do with my Scrambler that day? (week ago) I either made new friends or new enemies. Only time will tell. :D

We finally pulled our current project out of the shop and took it for a short test drive.

Measuring up for bump stops and shocks!

If that were in my neighborhood, you would be making a new friend. Maybe only 1, but tough luck to the others. When I drove my GTO project to my new house, it put me back a bit with making friends.
 
I have been daily driving this one for over a week, so it went to work again today, much nicer weather compared to last week, and it's clean!!

Besides the 30 year old ICM going bad last week, this computer controlled Carter Carb equipped Scrambler has been running/starting/idling/driving perfectly for the last two weeks of DD use, so take that all you Carter Carb haterz :rotfl:


And, while we may not have "4 real seasons" down here, y'all can keep the snow/ice/salt/not being able to drive your Scrambler year round weather, I will take low 70's in early May weather any day:thumbsup:

Took about a 60 mile round trip to turn in a bid today at work, so drove I got to drive HWY 90 this morning, pretty nice outside today:thumbsup:

And to think I complain about my commute sometimes:thumbsup:
 
Since the weather finally got nice here, I took the kids to school Monday morning in the Scrambler for the first time this year with the doors off. It was also a special day for my daughter and 21 other brave girls who donated their ponytails for young girls who are sick with cancer.

Tuesday night the kids and I took the Scram and went to a cruise in and car show at a local Hardee's out in lake country.
