What did you do with your Scrambler today? October 2014 version

That's some good looking jumble. My long booster didn't break off the fiberglass. ........yet
 
Hahaha! I think I'll put a strut there somewhere. Funny how crowded that side is compared to the other. Maybe THREE batteries just to use up space, or an air compressor... Of course, with a tilt-up hood, can't hang things on the fender.
 
Fiberglass should have a metal plate between fiberglass layers. Mine hasn't had any problems. My first 4wd glass body required you to cut the spot welds on the metal plate (on fire wall) and bolt to the fiberglass firewall for extra strength.
 
Yep, mine has the old metal plate bolted on the outside; the whole arrangement seems a little flexible with as much leverage as all that stuff has, and so close to the throttle linkage... Still, if nobody else worries about it, I reckon it's ok.
 
More bar BSing minus the beer randy I am with ya: door is hung. . After Oct, my Halloween resolution is to do more to my unique topic threads...:)

The door looks way better hanging on the Jeep than laying with the rust showing :headbang:
 
'cept it's the wrong way, pfff. :tea:

Replaced the Red Top in the Jeep, again. That's twice now in 8 months... thank goodness they have a good warranty and the the folks at O'Reilly's are helpful.

This time around I decided to leave the strap on, you know, to make it easier to replace in 4 months. At this rate I will never have to pay for a new battery again!

Also installed these cool little connectors from CTEK that allow me to see the condition of the batteries as well as provide a simple connection point for the CTEK charger. They work great, and are getting a great work-out thanks to the less than optimal Optimas. I will eventually mount them behind the grill near the radiator, that way I can see the flashing lights and can charge the batteries without having to open the hood. Clever idea.

Added 3rd bow to top. Nice improvement. Tightened things up.

So its mounted on a different side but is a Postal door the same as an Overlander door then?
Plus go on Jersey (or anyone for that matter) can you tell me what these circled mounts are for? My old tub had them as well as the tailgate mounting holes but they had been covered over with filler??

What are these for.jpg
 
The doors are dimensionally the same But in order to incorporate the hinge support and the bracing the doors are actually different internally...plus switching them from side to side would take some fabrication work.

The holes there or for the Australian spec license plate lights. My Australian spec rear bumper was long gone and an aftermarket bumper with light holder was installed when I got it. I ditched the aftermarket bumper and then removed the lights and added them to a special plate.

See overlander work thread in my signature. Postal specific thread coming in November :)
 
Installed my front turn signals today. Details in my build thread.

Took the door cylinders and glovebox in to the lock smith to get them keyed alike and keys made. That was a chunk of change.

Now you're just showing off :tea: I saw your sig line somewhere and I think I'd be doing you a huge favour getting that pesky Honey Waggie out of your way. It must be taking up too much space. I'll get on a plane and bring a big empty suitcase. Hmm, probably supposed to be bringing one of our tin tops aren't I.

Correct. I'll take a pic tomorrow. All tucked up in bed now.
 
Installed the Mil-spec rear lights. Details in my build thread.

Picked up my bumper today. Had the winch mount and stinger added to it.

Just set it up there to see the look, still have to get it painted.

Back in the day, they built the cage in my Postal. They were AWESOME to work with and took pride and interest in the oddball body armor tie-ins I conceived. They've gone full pre-fab aftermarket now (somewhat unfortunately) but I'm friendly with a couple guys there. They're all about building things right and right here in the USA (Michigan) even working to buy US-made tools/machines for their shop.

Definitely worth supporting, we need more companies like theirs.
