Drahcir495 Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 Just got the gear in for the Scrambler. Now I have the Motive 3.73 gears, the correct gear break carrier and the lunch box locker ready to go in. Pulling the bearings when I get the axle into the shop -> I will pull all the bearings when I go to set up the axle hopefully next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 I moved 4 hours north to the Tallahassee area of Florida. I found a house on five acres and a big self standing garage -> This means the Comanche is close to 4:45 hours away with no work done on it yet. So, I’ve been keeping busy working on getting the garage set up and it’s coming along nicely. Bought some Home Depot shelves and already have them filled up with bins and MJ parts ready to go back in. I spent most of the last 2 days unpacking and setting up the work bench and peg board. Just started hanging up tools, so I have a lot of hooks just snapped in until I find homes for them -> Don’t know why, but it was never wired up for electricity . I am going to install the outlets and light switches and run the wires to them myself. I’ve been watching YouTube videos and have a good idea on my game plan. I am also going to put in an 220v outlet just to have if I decide on a plasma cutter/welder. I will need the power company out to get an idea where the fuse box will be before I start running the metal clad wire. Right now I have power via an extension cord coming from an outlet in the attached garage. TBC - Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate that coheed. I didn’t want to just post it in the pub. I feel like it would be “feel sorry for me”. This will be here for me to look back on and remind me of how much I miss him.

Drahcir495 Posted August 16 Author Share Posted August 16 I’ve been brainstorming a lot about where I can mount the CB in the Jeep. I don’t want to screw in the bracket to anywhere on the dash like the previous owner did. Took me a while to locate a good dark blue dash valance to replace it. Couldn’t live with alll the screw holes in it. So., I decided to go back to the way I had it set up before -> I don’t think I have any other options that I can live with. I didn’t know before this that the cubby hole was removable . I had already removed the cut one from the first center console, so I was able to see what exactly needed to be done to get this one off. Used the dremell and a special bit to grind out the plastic welds -> Got it free -> Got the cut one ready to go in -> Used some JB weld and clamps to hold it together while it dries -> All set to go back in the Comanche with the cut out for the CB -> I’m going to keep the untouched one in case I ever find another place for the CB. Then I can go back and reinstall it back to the original design. TBC - Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 The Scrambler made it to the new home. Only 232 mile ride on a flat bed truck - sitting in her new home -> Enough headroom to keep the soft top up getting into the garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 Nothing really new on the MJ front. Looks like we’ll be putting in the OBDII system out of, I think I heard correctly, an 96 XJ. Have a topic in the MJ Tech forum about it. I did pick up my new Jeep parts hauler lol -> My wife hasn’t seen it yet - 4 hours away from home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
