What did you do with your Scrambler today?

Put chains for the rest of the winter after mostly finishing a sub-4" SOA lift. It is a real snow machine now - 4.88 gears, Detroit aft and a Tru-Trac forward.

A couple more pics. Driveway along the Lake and in the other you can see the new shackle locations fore and aft.

After 8 years and 139,000+++ miles, the starter went out in my DD 05 Rubicon. It was nice weather, so I didn't mind taking the Red Scrambler to work:thumbsup:

Busy day. Replaced the leaking rear wheel seal on my HD D20 rear. The more I work on this axle the more I hate it. Had to cut off a perfectly good rear bearing to replace a seal...and found the splines are wearing too- hopefully they'll last a while longer and not twist like the last shaft. Time to start building that 60...

I also finally replaced my cobbled together door straps. The OE ones broke so I riveted the straps back together...several times. Found some parachute cord bracelets at the gun show...cut off the plastic buckles and used a punch to stretch the ends so they'd fit over the hooks. They are the perfect length and work great. I like the look too.

It looks "mean" with those snow chains:thumbsup:

How is the TruTrac working out:shrug:

EDIT - wrong post replied to :banghead:

:) Thanks! I have discovered that non-original paint is not near as durable as baked-on factory paint, with clearcoat over top. Next time... The chains are those double-crossbar off road ones - you don't want to go faster than 10 or 15 on a hard surface or the fillings will fall out of your teeth. The TruTrac seems to be great. I can't feel any weird pulls and it seems to add a lot to the traction. With the chains on it will grind through anything.

To my eye, it kind of has that PNW hippie/flower-child appeal. Maybe it's just the weave, but my sister probably would have loved those on her '70's VW Bus. :-)

...hey, take it easy. Whatever works is good in my book. You actually gave me an idea for two hood straps I need, unless anybody here has a couple extras.
 
Took a family picture...

Hey, we actually have a '73 VW Bus. But these are desert camo, no way my wife would allow anything like that in her "beach Bus". These have more of a "Tactical" flavor...

Swapped really worn, bad steering wheel with much better, cleaner one. Now to troubleshoot the horn!
 
Had pulled the Jeep into the garage to do some minor wiring repairs from PO. Seat mount broke through the floor driving it in. So that has led to the cutting out of the driver footwell and starting to weld in new metal.

Wasn't really looking to start the full on body repair process but I'm going to get after it pretty hard in the evenings and weekends now. Set a goal to shoot paint no later than June 1st. :crazy:

Thank God the worst of it is under the drivers seat and in the floor pan area.

No pic of welding because it's messy fluxcore and obviously not a pro job. ;)

Hey if it's a grant steering wheel I know alllll about troubleshooting it. Let me know if you need any help because I spent countless hours dissecting it. The instructions they provide leave out some major components, such as the necessity to adhere the adhesive foil to the steering wheel in order to create a contact point. Lemme know if you have any questions! Hope this helps.
 
It's the OEM sw. Horn hasn't ever worked in my possessing. Haven't actually put a meter on anything either.
