Are you bringing this thing down to Winter Jamboree to hang out with us? I think we are John's trail on Friday and Plan B on Saturday...

damn... We need to find time to go play.

The scrambler is really working well after the last over haul. The Thanksgiving pre run was a blast!
Once I get this thing put back together I'm gonna keep it local as possible until I flesh out all of the bugs.

Updating this thread: she's officially not a Jackstand Warrior anymore!

The steering arm had two broken bolts that need extraction. It took a lot of nuts to get them out.

I cleaned up the threads and installed grade 8 bolts for now. I plan on changing them out for studs when I make some steering changes later on.

I'm really interested to see what you think about it. I mean, I kinda cringe when I think of some of the fab work I did on my first Willys. :rofl:
Ya know, every time I look at Britney, these words are whispered in my mind.

I came pretty close to cutting her up for wall art over the last few weeks, but I've come to my senses. The current plan is to find a YJ tub to put back on her. That means cutting off all of the tubing/pipe/trampoline frame and stripping her down pretty far.

She won't be back on the trail for a long time, but she'll be a lot better when she gets there.

This will allow additional time to build-up your 8-track tunes collection. 🤘
