What did you do with your Scrambler today?

[bigwalton]

Great to hear you made it back safely.

 

[MrBeep]

Changed the electric fan in a motel parking lot, then drove 800km (500 miles) home.

Also, scratched these 2 things off of my Jeep bucket list!

That's AWESOME! See you in a few weeks.

After 2 years of not being road legal, I finally got it to pass MARTA testing. Tomorrow I will drive it to work without the fear of Johnny Law pulling me over. This weekend, I might buy a 12pk and lay down a celebratory coat of paint on the old girl.

Congradulations! Enjoy.

Can't wait to see how this works out.

 

[Ol'Red]

Washed waxed and entered the base car show. Won 1st junkyard and 3rd best truck. Had a blast and got millions of questions on the 8.

These bike though made the day.

absolutely incredible '25 Indian Scout


And the '27 Henderson

The guy built both from scratch parts he's acquired and rides them regularly around town.

While at the show I realized my rear axle seal is leaking...again... Awesome.

 

[gr8dain]

Looks great! I need to wash mine.

I tried for about 1.5 hours to figure out why one of my fog lights went out. It is not the bulb. It has to be in the wiring. I ran a new ground. No luck. Ran a new power line directly to it. No dice. Gave up.

Replaced the rear pass spring plate that got delivered after I did the rear lift. Hope to get the front lift installed in a couple of weekends.

Finalized my bench seat (Thanks Grantshire!) install by adding risers to the seatbelt mountpoints. The driver's seat did require new mount points, but what's a couple more holes in the floor? Passenger seat also got a slider wich brought it to the same height/position as the driver's side. Passenger belt riser was a no brainer, but the driver's side mount torx screw wouldn't budge. Discovered it was the weld point for my exhaust bracket. Cut the floor angle off the riser and bolted it to the existing mount and all is well. Also added a middle belt...just in case

Replaced a rusty turn signal arm but kept the stock rubber tip. Hacksaw and epoxy and Omix Ada parts look stock Also de-rusted the steering wheel and horn contacts.

Good Scrambler day overall !

 

[gr8dain]

The bench looks great!

 

[kimsanva]

Thanks Dain. A little less supportive through turns than the buckets, but I'm liking them. Cushier and a bit higher bottoms than the buckets as well. Good news for my long legs.

Now i just have to figure out a new cupholder location since the console is gone

They have cup holders that attach to the windshield fold down bracket.

Being a tall guy and having a higher seat bottom, do your thighs hit the steering wheel like with my trailmax 2 seats? Or do you have a tilt column?

No tilt, but no rub either.I've got room to spare and it IS a stock steering wheel.

Tho' typically I've got my left foot on the doorway anyway

 

[Spieg]

Welded up crack(s) in frame.

after:

also found another crack starting on the driver side:

I'll sleep better tonight!

Been looking for an 8274. Found three cheap, one seller. Bought and split with a friend. Two work, one is parts. Refurbished mine inside and out. New seals, paint etc., works great. Made in 1978. Warn sent new stickers. Having a winch plate made to install. I've got pics but need to upload. When its installed, I'll take pics and publish.

Ol red, looks great. Kimsanva, liking the 60/40 split bench. Has me thinking. Spieg, welds also look great.

Happy 4th to all.

I DROVE IT!


Went and got tags, finished the temporary wiring to the tail lights, power washed it, checked the oil, took the half hardtop off, put the new windshield channel on, put the bikini top on, and headed to the gas station. http://
When I bought it I took a two gallon can and dumped about a gallon and a half in it before heading home about twenty miles. Tonight I filled it up. 19.8 gallons. I wasn't expecting that! It hit 15 and kept going so I started checking for leaks! I expected to see fuel dumping on the ground. Nope. $70 later I reset the trip meter to kinda get an idea what kind of mileage I'm getting. It can't be good. This thing runs fine at higher rpm's, but when it drops below cruising, man... What a pain to keep it running. Even coasting it feels like you push the pedal down for a little ways then all of a sudden it bucks and jumps and starts feeding fuel again. I've never had a carb do that. It almost seems like from 0 to 1/4 throttle nothing happens then all of a sudden there's fuel again. It'll idle for a couple seconds then die if you don't stab the gas, then it seems like you have to keep it revved up to keep it from dying. If you bring the rpms up it runs, but misses, then if you slowly let the rpms down they drop slowly then all of a sudden.... Dead. Fires right back up though, so far. Ahhh the joys of someone else's old troubles. Hopefully 20 gallons of high-test with a can of SeaFoam will smooth it out a little. We'll see.

SeaFoam has worked wonders for me. I use it in everything from my diesel tractors to my weed eater, good stuff.
One tank every six months in everything I own.

Congrats!

Sounds like that could be a vacuum leak but I'm not the best engine guy by far. Got a propane torch that you can turn on without lighting and wave around the engine while someone keeps it running? Should increase rpm if you get it near a leak. Starter fluid could work too.

Got her naked!





Only took 4 hrs 2 broken sockets 2 grinding discs and a cut off disc but that damn roll bar finally came out, not to mention at least 4 or 5 rain delays
