    Hard door adjustments

    I used a washer on both of the diver's side hinges slid over the pin and the door works as it should. Without them the door just won't quite shut right.

    Brakes not working

    I just poke my feet through the rusted out floor and do the Fred Flintstone thing to stop.

    What are you guys cooking!?

    Makes me want to come see you. My grill is under a large pecan tree. Most of the time we cook pork or chicken we toss a couple of pecan twigs on the coals - excellent smoke flavor. Put a few cuts (pockets) in the meat and stuff it with onions and garlic, or stuff it with apple slices and...

    Talked with a doctor earlier today. The bone is broken from one end to the other in a spiral pattern. They were going to do surgery today and insert a pin but they didn't have the right pin so they will do it sometime tomorrow. Not good.

    I need to drive my Scrambler!

    At least where you live you actually get snow. When the weather man mentions snow around here the state spends a few million spreading salt and then it rains.

    Thanks for the kind words. Seems she's fractured her right femur bone this time. Last time it was her hip. She spends all day sitting in her wheel chair. My dad has hired a woman to help him during the day (dad's 87, mom's 83), They try and try to get her to try to stand up and walk...

    65 years

    Today is my parents 65th anniversery :headbang:. Sunday we had lunch for them here at my house along with what's left of my family. My mother has been in a wheelchair for the last couple of years. She's gotten pretty weak and feeble. Last night she tried to stand up on her own and fell on the...

    Scramblers What the BEEP!

    :rotfl: :rotfl::rotfl: The PO of mine told me rusty metal had been cut out and replaced with new metal. I crawled around under it and the frame looked great. I didn't see any rust anywhere. It had a fairly recent paint job on it and it all looked good. The PO intended to keep it but the...

    xtreme tops?

    I haven't heard of them but it looks and sounds like a nice top. Not a bad price for a new top especially if it's well made.

    ACME Hardtop lift gate hatch pin

    A small nail might work as a temporary fix. All I can suggest is check at hardware stores, maybe farm supply stores. Or borrow a pin from another type of hinge. I'm pretty slack so I'd probably wind up using a nail as a permanant fix.:smokin:

    Can anybody recommend a shop near orange county that can modify or do a custom top?

    Maybe try an awning shop. There were a couple in my area that used to advertise that they did custom work.

    Clunk

    I may still have a good starter in my rather small stash of Jeep parts. I had it tested years ago and it was good. It's got Ford on it but I believe it was the original stater to my scrambler/258. If you wind up needing one you can have mine for the cost of shipping. Bit first I need to...

    ACME Hardtop lift gate hatch pin

    Do you mean the strut that holds the hatch up when it's open? I've lost the ball end of one of mine so the strut is not working anymore. I think they are available at hardware stores, maybe Lowes or Home Depot. I'll get around to fixing mine one day. I'm getting tired of propping it open...

    Can anyone explain why these are so ridiculously expensive?

    I would think a good body shop could make you some a lot cheaper than that. Someone thinks they have gold.

    Factory Tow Hooks

    If you do a search under other jeeps for sale, I ran an ad for my 7 on 6-2-10. There is one picture further down the thread that shows the tow hooks installed on the front bumper. I don't know how to put that picture here. Those hooks were on the stock front bumper that was on the Jeep when...
