What did you do with your Scrambler today?

Never set up the nets etc today as a storm was coming. Left befor the rain started, but caught a bit on the way home. Guess I'll be painting rusty pedal shafts this afternoon :)

Do you like the cupholders there? I have thought about getting some extras myself. The cupholders in my console tend to be used for holding gadgets and other stuff.

Not my first choice for location but yeah I like them. I'd rather reach with my right hand (habit) but it's way better than snugging a cup in my crotch! Downside is you can't drop the windscreen (which I only do for the visual) and they might interfere with full door wing windows. I got just about zero post summer use, so that's a moot point as well for me.

BTW clearance between my legs and the wheel is ~4" with the bench. And it does sit higher than the buckets.

Took the wife for her first ride since the restoration finished! My mom was in town to watch the baby, she had a great time!

I also installed one final part, this one took a lot of welding and cutting but in the end it was worth it:

Reagan Bush 84 NOS bumper sticker :bacon:





It might come off soon but I kinda like it, period correct and all!
 
It does look right on it. Even though his was light blue.
 
One more chore for the day...painted all four pedal "arms" with Chassis Saver...poor man's POR15 I think. Nice to see them in black instead of red oxide ;)
 
Finished my lift!!!!!

Installed new factory AM/FM antenna to replace some stubby thing the PO installed. Works awesome.

Thanks. That looks great. I looked on their website but only found the one for the LJ which has the sloped back to allow for the rear seat. I like the one you got.
 
That's the same one. Back slopes to accommodate seatback, but also works with bulkhead. Lid has gas super powerful gas struts. Plenty of room for winch accessories, oil, antifreeze, tie down straps, rags and all the other essentials. Works great!
 
Safety Measures

Used the Warn 8274 on the front as a bit of a precautionary safety measure while unloading a 810# DAKE 50ton press from my trailer with a friends gantry crane and some redneck cinder blocks because the crane wouldn't go high enough with it on the ground. Whole assembly from the ground up to the top of the press on the trailer was over 10 feet! Just in case it started to go over, I didn't want it to go into the house from where we set it all up. Too late to move it once we recognized the potential danger.

Not OSHA compliant:
