After hauling a load of scrap to the recycling yard, (8000LBS Scrambler and loaded trailer on the scales- tows smooth and straight, 65mph all the way there-) and a load of junk to the dump, I hooked the winch to my garden shed and winched it into the new location. It was fully loaded, and when we moved it before, a medium sized Kubota had a hard time moving it. The Qtec winch on the Scrambler pulled it like a champ!
Today it's time for an oil change, and maybe take the soft top off. That is if I can find my bikini top...
Starting to get the spring fever to paint it...

Have had issues with the powder coat starting to delaminate on my fenders. Took it to the powder coater yesterday- he's going to redo all 4 flares and the front fenders. So...time to start some dis-assembly.
I guess this means it's about time to get serious about paint.

It's all good in the hood! I was backing the 'Vette out a couple days ago and a guy almost slammed on his brakes when he saw me. He lives 3 houses down and is a car guy. Not into Jeeps but into restorations, etc... We chatted about what I had in my stable then we walked down to his house. There sat a 1968 Charger! Very nice car. He is looking forward to helping when I tear the Scrambler apart. Good times.

Back up and running
Got the Jeep running, cleaned it up, and took the girls out in the forest for the afternoon. Fun day. The getting the Jeep running part wasn't as fun but I will have to update that on the build thread when I get time.

-put 1" lift shackles in the rear. Hopefully that will help my rear springs last longer. not enough travel with the stock length shackles cause my leafs to bend. Unfortunately, the Jeep has a bit of the 80s hot rod rake to it now. Hope my new rear springs settle a bit.
-cut 1/4" off of my drag link. Couldnt get steering wheel straight because drag link was too long. Now the steering wheel is perfect!

Got my rampage jerry can tool box. Unfortunately the mount I ordered was out of stock and my order was cancelled so I still need to order one of fab one once I decide where to mount it. Thinking about attaching to the Runck swing-away arm.

When I got back from wheeling Moab/driving cross country, I had the passenger side "gangster lean", too. You can try this, worked for me
Put the frame on jack stands
Let the suspension fully droop
Loosen all the u-bolts
Let it sit 2-3 days
Reassemble
That's what I did to mine, got rid of the lean. Might be worth a shot

I dont have the gangster lean. I have the 80s mullet hot rod stance. (jacked up rear end) Should settle, rear leafs are new and fronts are a couple years old.
Put a new battery in the postal, couple of pumps on the gas (carter) and it started right up. Impressed the wife, drove it around the yard. Power steering and brake issues didn't fix themselves over the winter so have something to do. No pics to share because of photobucket issues; need a new photo host.

Got bored last night and actually applied some Armor all to some of the Jeeps stuff in anticipation for going to the car show with it. Came inside and crossed fingers that the rain would pass but it didn't. So this morning, after seeing the show was pushed back I find myself wondering what to do now. Maybe I'll go bail out the inside since the top is off and the thunderstorms were pretty good...
