This weekend I installed my new oil pressure gauge and water temp gauge. Then reinstalled my fog lights. Want to weld some light tabs on my bumper, but need to coordinate with my neighbor (the welder). So for now they are between the frame rails.

Yeah, thankfully the power steering belt didn't break until we were off the mountain. It waited until after the one autoparts store within a hours drive was closed and popped off my fan belt as well. That resulted in overheating as I pulled into the gas station in beautiful Fairplay, CO. Luckly, had my tools and was able to get the fan belt back on. No power steering is interesting with 35" tires and a lift!
 
Well what did I do with my scrambler today,

Well finished up the Spring over Axle Coneverision and in about an hour or two gonna run down and pick up the new 35x12.50 Mickey Thomspon Baja MTZs for it. Though sadly it still is not driveable having to wait on new shocks....Front shocks r to short and the rear shocks are to long to go back on. Such is life but should have her back on the road before the local fairs 4x4 contest.
 
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" :)

Moved it around in the shop. Picked up a bunch of parts that I had in the shop taking up room that I'm not using on the Jeep. Waiting on weather to cooperate so I can get the tub outside and sandblast the bottom side!

Been wondering how yours has been coming. You've not mentioned it in awhile.
 
I replaced the front output seal on transfer case and the pan gasket. I hope that fixes the leak(s) or at least some of them. I also got to clean up the skid plate and put a hole in it so I can get to the drain on the transfer case a lot easier.
 
Repainted the hood for the third time, this time it is acceptable. Tired of sanding it, not sure how much metal is left, ha ha. Actually, that was mostly the last step in the paint. So, I have painted the body, roll bar, mirrors, bumpers, and top. I have put Duplicolor bedliner in the floors and on the bulkhead. Now it's time to start putting it back together and do a little driving.

I know pictures would be good, but I don't have any to post yet. Just glad to be this close to driving again.
 
Drove out of the driveway and realized it had no brakes. Pedal hot the floor without stopping. Carefully turned it around after a few blocks of pumping and avoiding kiddies getting to their bus stops. No brake fluid so I filled it up tonight. Not sure why it was empty. Pedal was soft on Thursday (last time i drove it, but came back after pumping it a bit. Not sure how long I was low. Oops.
 
Took her out for her first test drive since the spring over axle swap found a few kinks to work out but nothing major just a bit more trimming to do.
 
Picked up both sets of doors from the painter. Moved to the office for a rainy day to motivate. Too nice right now to spend time in assembly!
 
Not today but this weekend...

Here is a vid, this was on Chinaman Gulch over the weekend...

Climbing the left side of the waterfall resulted in this...
