What did you do with your Scrambler today?

That picture makes it look like you have some camber issues with the rear axle. I hope it is just an artifact of the lighting.

Picked up my daughter from her first day of Pre-School. I'm not sure if she was more excited about catching toads on her hike or being picked up in the "Chestnut Jeep" as she likes to call it. Told her teacher that dad brought the "Scambler" :)

Thanks for the heads up Joe. It is an odd shadow, angle, illusion and not camber. Driving something that is as out of whack as that looks would be interesting to say the least. Like the wobbly wheel on a shopping cart or as they say from where I grew up a buggy.
 
Drove it back to work after going home for lunch and did not overheat. Cool 70 degree day here, decided to chance it on less than 15 minute ride to work. No boiling noises when I popped the hood.

:wave:
 
Nothing. It has been in my work parking garage since yesterday. Drove in no problem. Would not start last night. Thought I flooded it trying so I let it sit here over night. Still mo start today. Been putting carb cleaner in it an cranking. Now the battery is dying from the attempts. Grrrrr. It has done it in the past, but sitting for 5-10 minutes has all it has ever needed. Now I need to figure out a way to get it out of he garage and get it home.
 
I got it home last night under it's own power. :-)

Poured gas into the carb and it fired up with no problem. Took it to my son's baseball game this morning without incident.
 
Drove it to the Short Course Off Road Races in Redmond today. Got a parking spot right up front with the vendor's vehicles. Every time I looked over there were people looking at it.
 
I took my older boy out in the Pine Barrens so he could do a little turtle hunting. Took a nice little trail, with lots of water and mud, so it kept things interesting for me. I don't often get time alone with Jarrett, so it was a really nice time for me. I even broke the ice on "The Talk" while we were out there.
We didn't get stuck, but it did sink pretty deep in the muck a few times, and some of the water crossings involved my bumper going under water. At one point while climbing back in the Jeep, I was kicking some mud off of my shoes and I ended up knocking out a 2" square piece of the rocker panel. :eek: Oh well, better drainage for those water crossings. :thumbsup:

Drove the Scrambler up to the mountains to check the work at our cabin. We have a game trail camera up there, haven't had much on it, until this time. Found this "visitor" on the pictures.

Lookin for something to eat? A bear skin rug would look nice in the new addition. :crazy:
 
Beautiful day to take the Scrambler out to the old apple orchard for for some fresh cider and donuts oh and a couple bags of Cortlands and red delicious.

Just ordered some go-fast goodies for the engine. :D
"Buttkicker" Cam, dual valve springs and roller rockers... gonna have more bottom end toque. :D

also... Connie drove the Scrambler to work today...
 
Bled the brakes and cleaned the K&N air filter on Sunday. Today I put the soft doors away and put the half hard doors on with the YJ soft uppers. Then after driving home in the drizzle, I put the top up. :(

Tried to seal up the brake MC a little to see if that stops the leak from the lid. Also used black duck tape to seal a hole in the top. Grrr. Left the top down overnight and let it get rained on this morning. Oops. Gonna order a few things this week. A latch for my swing away tire mount, and maybe a winch.
 
Pulling maintenance and found this!
Haven't checked the other side yet.

Added battery post extenders for when I wire up my winch. And mounted my clamp for the bumper tire swing-out. I was going to weld it on. And I still may. But for now, it is screws and bolts.

Also cut out the post in the middle front of my front bumper to prepare for the winch.
