What did you do with your Scrambler today?

Got the radiator back in and filled. Made a few minor additional adjustments to the steering hose and filled its reservoir as well. Painted and reinstalled the fan, bled out the two systems and...
NO LEAK!!! Woot! Yea!!!!!
I'm soooo glad that putty stuff worked. If it hadn't I would have found someone to braze it since the rad isn't that old and still of real material.
Then I was talking to a fellow jeeper here and he mentioned the shop that made his driveshafts ins't to far away. I'm going to try and get by there tomorrow and let them measure for new ones. Hopefully that will make some of my horrible noises go away. I think much of it is the CV joint binding/grinding on itself trying to work at the angle. Hopefully this guy can make something. I'll post up after I know.

yeah we did! haha! I was coming back from Wendy's and got caught in it! Soaked! Would have made it if not for the gate guard drooling over the CJ. haha!
 
Well, yesterday I powerwashed the engine compartment, cleaned the K&N, cleaned the inside and outside and put a new radio in getting ready for the 10th Scramble.

Still need to change the oil and grease all them zirts. Will do that this next weekend.

Sure did look better.:bacon::bacon::bacon::bacon:

BadKarma,

Love the idea of the switches in the radio slot. But more importantly, where did you get that dual-USB power port??

LOL, You take yours off for the summer and I put mine back on. Thats the difference between living in Oregon and Louisiana.

I haven't ever charged the A/C system that I installed!

The Scrambler is so much more fun with the top off...it becomes a different vehicle! I have an old full soft top that I cut up to make a safari bikini.

I agree with you Randy. It is a whole different jeep without the top. I'm riding around right now with the half hard top on and the doors off. I turn the AC on high and so far it working for me.
 
Beautiful crisp morning for a topless and doorless ride to work. The sun can get to be a bit much on the forehead, but pop on a ball cap and I am good to go.

Some summer days I sweat in my dress clothes on the way, but no complaints. I will do it any day.

As for what I have done besides ride into work topless, i have started to hit the bolts on my suspension with PB Blaster in prep for installation of my new to me lift springs and shackles (and shocks). The plan is to do them this weekend.

gr8dain,

i can't stress how much that trick worked for me. I prepped for one week straight on my suspension bolts, must've used like 6 cans, but come installation time, i never even once reached for the breaker bar or worked up a sweat!
 
Replaced my accelerator cable and in comparison to the old sticky one, the pedal now feels too light. Much better than lurching everywhere.
 
Finally put my front leaf springs in after 18 months. New boomerang shackles. Braided stainless brake lines and shocks. That was really the last 3 days. Oh and bled my brother-in-laws brakes on his 72 Bronco. Wife is ready to leave me. Woohoo !

That's good to know Rispony. I hope that I am as lucky. Gonna go out and apply another coat now.
 
Had to pull fender off... To fix a power steering leak. :banghead:

Also had to clearance the shock hoop because the sway bar hit it near full stuff. (Did it before pulling the fender off)

After Connie gets up and goes to work (shes working nights right now) i will finish the tire carrier. Have to bring tire closer (1.5") to the tailgate.

A bit clean-up on the Scrambler, but most of the recent work has been on the tow rig for the National. New brakes, calipers and pads on my F250 (the OEM calipers were taking turns seizing up on me). Then went through the bearings on my trailer and got the brakes adjusted and working. The Scrambler is actually mostly ready.
 
Changed all the fluids, greased everything up on the Red Scrambler, getting ready for Sicily Island ORV park in LA this weekend, then National's 1.5 weeks later:D
