What did you do with your Scrambler today?

Took the doors off and top down and drove to a couple of Home Depots to get some bolts for my horn button.

Such a good feeling to have to top down again.

A bit refreshed (don't worry. I strightened the button after the pic was taken)

Jazz and I washed the Jeep, swapped to the half doors, and then went to the lake for a little play time before the pet relocation people picked up the animals for their long trek to Peru. Oh, but before all that happened, I had to replace the battery with a red top Optima. :crazy:

Took the top off and went out joy riding with the kids.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1364839041.480919.jpg
But that night went to visit a buddy and had a rear u-joint fail driving down the hwy and now have a cracked transfer case... Not sure what order it happened; U-joint then t-case or t-case then u-joint. Either way it really sucks and makes for a lot of noise at 60mph--scared the crap out of me.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1364839309.079455.jpg.


 
Hooked up the battery and fired her up! All I need is sand and 30 degrees warmer!

You and me both! I'm shopping for Dana 300's now. Struck out at my local junk yard... If anyone in the SoCal area has one they want to offload im your guy? Weather is too good to let her sit in the garage...

Thanks...

The wood stove puts him out every time. Similar to an old Ford F700 diesel we have....he hears me crank it up, jumps in, and the low-moaning diesel is conducive for his napping.

When I come back in my next life I want to be your dog.

I fired up ours on the weekend. But that was just to get it out of the garage to work on Connie's Beetle.

Weather was nice enough to give her a bath over the weekend. Contemplated taking the top off, but we still get a ton of condensation overnight, looks like it rained in the morning...I need to figure out a trail cover that fits with my cage.

WRX would fit in a bug and has been done! We went original because we had the original engine out of her bug. Otherwise somthing more interesting would have been put into it.

I've got the original engine in it...but it needs a complete overhaul. Plus, Carol wants to be able to take long trips in it, and I think a Subie engine would be more reliable...

Now that sounds like it would be fun in a bug and Randy if anyone can do it you can.
 
Finished cleaning, repainting, and installing this...

If it kept me from visiting the gas station every 4 days it is well worth it. Congrats.
