Completed my first fabrication job making a bumper to cover up the bare rear crossmember along with getting it painted and bolted on. I have the machine shop manager here at work making me a custom CJ-8 embelem on the CNC's to bolt on as well.

Nice! Need details and pictures on this custom emblem dealio :bacon:
 
This was yesterday's trip, as long as the salt hasn't hit the roads, we take the Scrambler for our Christmas tree hunt. New place this year and a longer drive, so more Scrambler time :smokin:

must be nice.... the most I have done to her in a LOOOOONG time... made a to do list at work, its very long.
 
Got firewood from the back yard...I just did the towing, everyone else loaded. I'm loving having a back yard I can actually play in! Phone pics...not the best quality...

Enjoyed a Christmas Eve shooting fest with my father and son... it's good to be home for the holidays! (and even better to be in the desert Jeepin'!)

 
Daughter made daddy proud getting excited about getting two hot wheels, duct tape, a hammer, adjustable wrench and tape measure in her stocking. :thumbsup:

She's also psyched about her new compound bow. :D Told the wife that daddy has to get one off craigslist now to be able to shoot with her in the back yard! :cool:

No Jeep stuff, but got a Cabelas gift card.
 
Used a gift card to order a few items; tow strap, hitch receiver D ring, LED light for the roll bar, and a heater deflector for the floor air so that the passenger gets their feet warm as well. Hopefully Q-Tec delivers them before the weekend.
 
Niece and son out at "the shop" test drivin the nieces' first Jeep! The girl insists that my new D-rings and chalks (my Xmas present) should fit her jeep instead of mine! Both agree that Santa and the elves did well on the D-rings!
 
One of my Christmas presents was a "Hood Lift". Haven't installed it yet but I can't wait to get rid of that prop rod!
 
[Oil from tailpipe could be as simPle as 'carburetor issues'. Could be Caen deposits and condensation that your thinking is oil. QUOTE=tiber;253548]The Scrambler performed one of it's primary roles this weekend - it hauled 2 sets of golf clubs to and from a country club. :cool:

On a serious note - it can't really go very far yet as I'm struggling with 2 separate engine-related issues.
I have a rebuilt 258 with the Howell TBI (2800 miles on it all), and experience the pinging under load I have read about in numerous forum threads. Curious thing about most of those threads... haven't really found a definitive resolution listed, and unfortunately do not trust the one real jeep shop in our area to work on it.
2nd engine related issue is that I have excessive oil headed out the tailpipe. I've also read various threads on this - using the Westlake aluminum valve cover, and have conflicting reports on whether or not the baffles are needed/desired. My valve cover does not have the front baffle / engine does have hi-volume oil pump / mechanic is experimenting with more vacuum (not effective as I noticed this weekend).


I recently joined this forum and can tell I will really appreciate all the collective knowledge here... I need to put up a thread with some pictures and will try to get that done this week.[/QUOTE]
