I took the half cab, bulkhead and full doors off. Put the half doors on and back seat in and took a drive today.

I cranked it up and for once I didn't have to sit there and grind away with the starter. It cranked surprisingly easily and I let it run for a few minutes to recharge the battery and loosen up a bit. Question for you experienced Jeepers: Can a little STP - not much - help with engine lubrication in a stock inline six with about 65,000 miles on it, or is that a waste of time and money? Does anyone use STP any more like they used to some years ago, in an effort to reduce engine wear?
 
I installed the carb I had rebuilt by John @ Grump Wrench Garage. This guy is old school and the Scram now runs like a brand new 1982 AMC!:woohoo:

I also installed my third new Spectra Premium radiator from NAPA. They carry a lifetime warranty, but the time it takes is just killing me. They keep leaking after running about a week at the upper soldered seam.:fingerscrossed:

Took the top off and swapped doors for some upcoming interior work....

Of course I had to take her for a spin after!
 
Well, yesterday... Put a new heavy drag link on and went for a test ride out to the ledge at Marblehead. Everything did well except an unexplained gas leak for a while. Really was liking compound low at 78:1 crawling up and down the ledge.

This was a very large package deal... I have some implements I had to take that I won't use, so those will be sold off to help recoup the cost.
As I am sure all of you know very well... "it was just a deal I couldn't pass up", even though I didn't have the money, space, or time right now to work on it.
It is a great machine, in great shape for being 15 years old and has low hours.
The backhoe is actually older, it is an 86, but works just fine.

I need some new rims/tires as this sat for a while and the calcium in the tires corroded the rims near the air holes.
I need a new hose for the bucket as the bucket goes up just fine, but down spews oil all over.
I need to change the fluids and some other basic things, but all in all, I am a very happy boy at the moment.

I GOT A BACKHOE and a BUCKET... it is like being a kid and getting the Tonkas and playing in the dirt!

Finally I stripped my rims and re-clear coated them and put brand new meat on.

I went through 2 of them on my green '83, they both cracked at the upper tank seam. The 3rd one they sent me was not made correctly, it wouldn't clear the hood, or would hit the ps coupler:(

I had to get my money back and go with an Advance Auto part Radiator on my green Scrambler (2 core). The first 3 core on my red Scrambler broke in the same place, I am on my second radiator, but so far it is holding up:shrug:
 
ordered the replacement floor board, getting closer to starting the tear down and rebuild!!
