| 009333 | Muse Watson, TN | I live in Los Angeles, but my Scrambler lives at my hide-out in the foothills of the Smokies in Tennessee, USA. Lots of upgrades......9" Ford rear-end, Dana 30 front-end, Rancho shocks, computer fuel injection...pristene cosmetically. It's perfect. I travel so I don't get to drive it as much as I would like......go to www.musewatson.com and you'll be able to see why I am out of town....LOL | ||
| 027904 | GA | originally brown but repainted silver w/ a 258 6 cyl. Parts jeep, Salvage Jeep Co. | ||
| 030111 | Dennis, CA | Dropped in a 304, retaining the automatic. I found an 86.5' Dana 44 and wide trac Model 30. Added an Aero Tanks 33 Gal. tank. After a year I had to find a donor tub. I found one in pretty fair shape. Had it dipped and painted. I and a friend performed the assembly complete with new hood, fenders, one new hard door, and new super seats. After this we moved to Sacramento, CA. Here came the spring over, shackle reversal, custom bumpers, and 35's. After a couple of attempts of re-engineering, Scott of Extreme Gear Off-Road (Orangevale, CA) has put together a very sweet workable package. He built a 44 for the front w/ARB after I blasted the 30 at the Moab EJS. &We added Ford Explorer rear disc brakes w/custom axles. Jumped to 4:56 gears. There's a Detroit locker in the back. Here came the AtlasII (4.3). The only original parts are the grill, one hard door, the glove box door, the wall and short hard top, steering column, dash pad, and tail gate. The frame will be changed soon. It's thin and cracking. Planning a 350 TB and 700R4 at the same time the frame is changed out. | ||
| 030319 | Tilt, A/C | stevan prochnick, canada | I have the entire jeep to the frame and building it up, putting 38 tsl on, soa with buggy springs in the back, total of 10 inches of lift, tj flares, 4.56 gears, 727 auto, 258 might make it a 4.7 stroker with np435 or t-18 tranny, shortend the back end 11.5 inches, using rancho 9012 shocks, frame is all beefed up and rebuilt, half soft top, going to get full soft and hard top made, all polyurethane bushings, 8 inch driving lights, going to paint it endura black, lots of work getting done, will send pictures when done, in about a month | |
| 030921 | Doug & Patty, CA | 25k original miles. Purchased from the original owner, used it to tow behind a motor home, has been in storage for the last 12 years.....258 6cyl, she is factory stock in every respect, runs excellent, wonderful daily driver, haven't had it off-road yet, can't wait. Has a hard half cab. | ||
| 032242 | Lee, Beaufort, S.C. | I have owned my 1981 Scrambler for the last 15 years while it was still in it's infancy. I drove it for 5 years then gave it to my son who drove it for another two years. I dumped the original 4 cyl. and replaced it with a 1969 corvette 327. The engine was matched through advance adapters for motor mount which the first three sets broke and had to be beefed up to handle the torque of the engine. I kept the 5-speed and installed a centerforce clutch assembly. The jeep was re-wired and a new top, doors and engine compartment paint job was done. There were some other modifications as I have started a build sheet which I can't seem to find.....I need some body work and want to get a decent paint job done this summer. Since then, which has been 3 years I have done nothing to it and it is driven daily. I am planning on finishing the job in the next few years when I can get time or retire in the process. | ||

| 046352 | Lynn Family, PA | For the past 17 years, I have owned a 1981 cj8. I bought it used, and drive it almost everyday. Recently I changed the engine with a rebuilt 151. It has been painted 3 times, each time a different color. However, the body is showing it's age and I am going to replace the body with Fiberglass. Could have sold this CJ many many times over the years but just could not part with it. Nothing fancy, option wise, just meat and potatoes. I have a business repairing washers and dryers and the bed is the prefect size to hold 2 of these at a time. It has paid for itself in this capacity alone. All 3 of my kids have played in this jeep over the years. My 22 year old, my 18 year old, and my 3 year old is following along too. | ||
| 046379 | Dan Cole, CO | The engine is a '79 258 rebuilt, the Tranny is an '83 T-5 and the transfer case is an '84. I bought it sight unseen (saw pictures of it). My pal JC Oliver in TN picked it up for me in Bristol, VA., then I flew to Nashville and drove it back to Colorado from Dayton, TN. It unbelievably ran great and I had no trouble at all, 1400 miles. It was gray but we put this really interesting paint job on it (good 'ole Krylon..lol). It will be orange with a black hard half cab (shown). A gazillion mods so I wont list right now. See my '82 that is also registered here. My web site is http://www.82cj8.com come by and sign my guest book, thanks. | ||

| 047256 | Dave Baker, CA | wileydlb@aol.com | ||
| 047526 | Dennis Skinner, ID | I found this CJ8 on the side of the road in Arlee MT last year, I happened to have a trailer that could be loaded to haul vehicles (purely by coincidence). The for sale sign had the price and phone number. I purchased the jeep with cash from several banks in the area from credit cards, drove it up on the trailer and took it home. It is a first year model that needs complete restoration. I will deal with the rust and use the original frame. I have been looking for this model for 5 years. | ||
| 047934 | Dan Bergin | I just purchased a 1981 cj-8, 126000 miles, body is bad, has a swapped in 304 that runs awesome, th400 trans, and damn quadratrac. 4.11 axles due to 4cyl original motor. 1/2 cab. Have owned it for 48 hours and have most plans for rebuild done. Just finished, 2001 TJ sport, built to wheel, have 86 Cherokee 4cyl, 4dr 5" lift bad a** wheeler and have had Comanche, cj5, 87 Cherokee, 79 Wagoneer ltd and many other jeeps. Besides the tj, the "8" rules. | ||
| 047966 | Robert Masters Spicer MN | Parts all over my shop. Frame at frame shop for repair, sandblasting and painting. Looking for parts. I need to replace the body. What do think fiberglass or steel ? | ||
| 048319 | Jayson Housson, TX | This is a 1981 CJ-8 Scrambler that was bought and kept the entire life
by a professional hunter in Kerrville, Texas. His name was Trapper. He
replaced the original 258 with a Chevy Blazer 350 with matching
transmission. It is in the original shape except for the engine and tranny.
I would have preferred to have the 258 and original tranny but Trapper put
the 350 in for the speed and power when hunting white tail and exotic deer
in the Hill Country of Texas. Trapper owned this Scrambler until I bought
it in Sept. of 05. My sons love it and never want me to sell it. I would
sell it if I could replace it with a CJ-8 that was in good shape and had
stock equipment. p;
I had a friend, Ganado, Texas where I went to high school. [He} had a black Scrambler back in 1983 and I loved it. I spent the next 22 years searching for the right Scrambler that I could afford and I finally found it in Kerrville Texas in 2005. It is a shame that Jeep did not see and still continues not to see the value in the Scrambler. I guess we have identified one more Scrambler and I am glad to be apart of this Jeephead group. |

| 048320 | 4cyl, 4spd | DAVE PATTON, CA | WHITE WITH A NEW GREY AJ'S FULL TOP.THE PREVIOUS OWNER GAVE ME SOME HISTORY ON IT. SEEMS THAT IT WAS A CALIFORNIA FOREST SERVICE VEHICLE UNTIL HE BOUGHT IT AT AUCTION (YEAR UNKNOWN). HE USED IT AS A DAILY DRIVER (IN LONG BEACH, CA.), CARRYING HIS SEADOO TO AND FROM THE BEACH( I THINK HE USED IT TO LAUNCH THE SEADOO TOO AS THE ENTIRE BED HAD A "PATINA" RUST COATING). I BOUGHT IT IN 1998 AND HAVE REPLACED THE SEATS WITH STEEL HORSE UNITS, PUT IN A TUFFY CONSOLE, KRACO RADIO AND A CLASS III HITCH. I RECENTLY BOUGHT A CJ-7 AS A DONOR AND HAVE USED THE FOLLOWING; ALL HINGES W/STAINLESS STEEL UNITS, 23 GAL TANK, 4.56 DANA 20 AXLE, 4.56 RING AND PINION FROM DANA 30, 4" LIFT, FRONT ROLL CAGE, 12.50X15-33 TIRES ON NEW ALUMINUM WHEELS, AND A 8000 LB RAMSEY WINCH, FUTURE PLANS INCLUDE A MOTOR /TRANNY SWAP (258 OR 4.0 TO A T-176 TRANS), RHINO COAT THE INSIDE, TERA LOW KIT FOR THE DANA 300, AND PAINT A GREY/BLUE COLOR. | |
| 048376 |
I think the FLOOR was an Option. 6cylinder 4 speed. and am radio.

Eric Gignac, Montreal Canada | Purchased for 50$ Can. needs a whole lotta Money, Time and Love. The only thing keep the jeep together is the magnetic cross on the dash and the aftermarket 8-TRACK. | |
| 048758 | Justin Griggs | Equipment 350 chevy, ranger underdrive, sm 465 tranny, 205 transfer rotated and indexed, dana 44 front dana 60 rear, both with 4.56 gears and air lockers 35 inch bfg's and and spring over lift with chevy half ton springs 12000 lb warn winch and a lot of spare parts | ||
| 048760 | 6 cyl, SR-4, tilt, pb, ps, ac, 1/2 hardtop | John Amouroux, CA | 73000 orig miles (3rd owner), original paint, very shiny - almost no rust! Have done: Rubicon Express 4.5" extreme lift, Goodyear 33x12.5 MT/R's, Warn 8274 winch, Off-again brake booster, Off Your Rocker rocker protection, LOTS 'o maintenance. Still need to: auto tranny swap, ARB or OX-trak lockers, 4.56 gears, dual battery setup, one piece rear axles, roll cage, rear seat, maybe EFI | |
| 049173 | 6 cyl, 4spd | Ed Lowe, TN | It was a 258 Super six with an sr4 tranny and model 30 and model 20 diffs when I got her. She is a soft scrambler has never had a hard top on her. With low back seats And 272 gears in the diffs. Now she has a 304 with a T4 tranny and the same model 30 in front but a model 44 in the rear. Also a spring over lift. With 373 gears and 35 12.50/15 mud tires. Has S10 high back front seats. And some cancer in the body. I plan on full make over in the near future. I live in Cleveland TN. Keep the old one's alive and drive the rare one's too. Ed Lowe | |
| 049205 | Matt Work, CO | I bought this from a friend who said he bought it from a farmer who
stored it in a barn. Long story short the barn caught on fire and the Jeep
burned with it. He replaced the stock engine (6-cylinder I believe) with a
Chevy V8 and Turbo 350 auto. Since I've owned it it's gone through 2 lift
kits and tons of parts. New wiring, dash, interior, tires, wheels, and roll
bar. I'm still working on finding the time and money to finish the rear roll
bar. I love it I just wish I had the time to make it right. Slowly but
surly.
Things to do: Dana 44 front and rear, lockers, new 350 TBI plant, low max 4:1, led tail lights, rear seats (does anyone have a line on jump seats?), rear roll bar, full hard top?, bigger tires, heater upgrade, maybe spring over. A man can dream! |

| 049208 | Came with the Laredo Package, which was basically Chrome Bumpers, Grill, & Wheels. The Motor is a 258 6cyl | Jerry, BC Canada | I bought this new in June of 1981. Pretty well still all original, including Engine, Transmission, even the same Paint Job (could almost use another Paint Job maybe, but not that bad, and only minor rust. Still runs great, using it everyday, but not a lot of Highway, or four wheelin anymore. I just do my best to keep it runnin good. I am by no means a Mechanic, so seem to always getting little things done. I had the Full Soft Top put on in 2001, and I also have a Bikini Top I just got in 2004. It has 197, 000 KM on it, which is approx. 120,000 Miles, so just broke in EH!!! I checked Gas Mileage at Christmas when I drove up Vancouver Island, and worked out to be just over 25 Miles to the (Canadian) Gallon. I sometimes think of selling, but, would seem like loosing a Family Member. | |
| 049660 | 4cyl 4spd,pb ½ hardtop | Don McCray, VA | Green, winch - new info from Don - "80500 actual miles and runs great" | |
| 049661 | Aaron Bell, ME |
Aaron from Limestone, Maine. No mods
as of yet but this summer should definitely bring a paint job for the
old girl. Mechanically it is completely sound. With only
50,000 miles I am lucky enough to be able to just pick at it when I want
to and still use it as an everyday driver. I will email some pics
later.

| 049664 | 4cyl | David Stickley, WY | 78000 original miles. I believe this one was a Forest Service Jeep. Green in color the body is in very good shape. No rust anywhere. It runs great, the normal loose steering sagging springs, and shocks. My plans are to return it to near new stock condition. I think these are too neat to go way over board with all the after market additions. I live in Laramie Wyoming this is where this Jeep has spent its life. My other Jeeps 1979 CJ5 just refinished,and a1980 CJ7 that has never been touched, looks like new. I drive it daily. | |

| Yes | 050041 | 6cyl, 4spd | Randy & Pam Glazebrook, IA | Purchased on Friday, registered on Saturday! Pam makes it clear that this is HER '8 !!!I have named my jeep the 'Puddle Jumper 2'. All kinds of replacements and improvements. I used gasket material to make large heart outlines and inserted them into my brake light covers. So, when I hit my brakes, large hearts light up! My husband, dad, and brothers just shake their heads and mutter something about a 'woman thing'. Update: My PuddleJumper2 is still sweet! Bit by bit I'm doing some updating. The more I find do to the engine, the more impressed I am that I was able to start it and drive it home. (She wanted to live!) Many parts were missing and a lot that was there was wrong or homemade. She still has the original 258 and I hope to keep it that way. I'm hoping to do a complete restoration and to keeping as much original equipment as possible. I'm constantly replacing and fine tuning. (she runs super now) New tires and suspension. And I still have hearts for brake lights! I'm going to start replacing all the "climate controls" and hope to update the duct work. next. Thinking about some transmission work. I'm not sure that it has original. Everyone at work will ask if I'm spending time with my 'baby' on the weekends - and they don't mean my sweet spouse! (I let him drive her once last summer.) I have spotted a couple of other scramblers in the Des Moines area. Always going opposite directions on a busy road, never where we can stop. We do just about fall out of our jeeps waving! |
| 050071 | Rick and Sandie Jandrt, CO | 258, 4 speed, fibreglass halfcab, wood rails, chrome wheels, tail gate spare tire holder. Currently stock but have several plans (typical) for mods. First will upgrade cooling system and ignition system just to get it streetable. | ||
| 050075 | Alex Alcantar, CO | I acquired my Jeep in '96 and it needed a LOT of work. I had the body totally redone (due to massive rust through), repainted dark GM blue (original color was blue with scrambler stripes). Replaced the wheels with chromed ones, refinished the original wood rails, replaced all the belts, installed a steering column stabilizer, reworked all the emissions gear and had the bed lined. Installed a rear seat (I lived in San Diego at the time), a Tuffy lock box, and chromed out almost everything (except the bumpers). Right now it's in the shop getting a new T-5 Transmission since the original T-4 ate itself up. | ||

| 053284 | 6cyl,5spd | Jeffrey Phoenix, NY | I just bought the Jeep so I don't know much about the history. | |
| 053342 | 4cyl/4spd ½ hardtop | Mark Sims, IA | 130,000 miles on it, and original paint. It has never been garaged. I have covered the rust with aluminum body armor rocker panels and rear corners, and re-done the interior in marine plywood covered with indoor outdoor carpet. ( It looks a lot better than it sounds!) I have 30 x 9.50 x 15" tires, and hi-lift jack. I drive it 118 miles round trip to work daily. By the way, a bench seat from a 1981 olds cutlass works great if your seat frames have rusted. I've boxed the rear 1/3 of the frame rails where the rust always shows up on all jeeps, and replaced the ignition, radiator, carb, and heater core in the last couple of years. Oh yeah, the radio a couple of times because the windshield leaks.I'll keep it until it falls completely apart. | |

| 058281 | Clair, PA |
My "baby" started out as a real project vehicle. We bought it with a 360 and a TH300 transmission. My son drove it for a year until the engine quit. After swapping out another 360, nobody would inspect it (all frame mounts were rusted off the body)...so, we pulled the body, repaired the frame, installed a new front axle, new 2 1/2" lift (4WD hardware), new fiberglass body, fenders and hood; and most everything I could think of, including brake lines, rear brakes (complete kit), new top, new front seats, high energy ign.(got rid of the Ford ignition modules and coil), etc. We manufactured the front and rear bumpers and swing away tire carrier. Need to update driveshafts, among other wish list items. I won't tell my wife how much I put into it. It was a lot of fun (?!) and work, and is a real head turner when I take it out. Will always be a "work-in-progress". |

I have a cab hard top along with a full soft top and a bikini top. Everything is pretty much stock other than some chrome brackets and some 8 inch rims with new 31'1050,15 BFG MT.

I bought it from him a year and a half ago (57,000 miles on it) now in its 20th anniversary year it still has less than 72,000 miles on it. All the time just sitting took its toll on the springs. My trailer with no load on it is almost overloading it. Got big plans for it, just have to wait for my wallet to grow first. | |

I have owned this Jeep for
about 12 years. It was fully restored in 2000. At some point an
aftermarket carpet was put in and the moisture caused the floor to rot.
That was about the only major body work needed. The windshield frame was
also replaced and i have never re-drilled the holes for the roof to be
put back on. Although the doors were painted during restoration they
have never gone back on since. This vehicle is all original. The only
aftermarket components are the stainless steel hardware that I
installed. Growing up the original
owner used to fill up at the service station where I worked and I always
told him that I wanted to own it when he was done with it. Without too
many details he remembered this and now I do. |

| 061514 | Hard Top, Tilt Leather Wrap Steering Wheel, Dash Clock | Don - W7DAH, OR | I bought my Scrambler used on 09-02-84 with 36,590 odometer miles, from Beaverton Datsun. Nearly 22 years ago now. Today, 05-13-06 it has 95,065 miles. A large percentage of that 58,475 mile difference has been off-road in the Pacific Northwest. The rest has been getting to and from the trail-head to leave the pavement. I traced this rig's history and spoke to it's original owner not long after buying it. He had purchased it as a dealer "demo" with 4,000 miles on the odometer. He used and abused it hauling a 55gallon drum, hunting dog cages, and pulling a 12' trailer before the Repo-man mercifully rescued her from him, returning her to a Mike Salta dealership in Portland. That dealership was closing, and she was wholesaled to Beaverton Datsun, where she and I first we met. It's been a love-hate relationship. Water leaks into the cab (it's been known to rain a bit in the PNW), the occasional ill-timed breakdown, and she even has a spot or two of skin cancer these days. But, just about the time I'm finally convinced it's time to say goodbye, some stranger will ring the doorbell, apologize for interrupting dinner, and darn-near beg me to sell her to him. That's when I say again that I'll probably be buried in her instead of a casket. ;-) There have been a span or two when she has sat, never started, for 6-months. I'll get in and the Optima Red-Top fires her up on the first try even though that battery's 72 months came and went long ago. Mechanics I've talked to say they've seen these old AMC 258 6 cylinders go 2-300K miles before giving-up the ghost. Who knows, she might outlast me. I need to lose that lousy Carter Carb in favor of the Weber fix, for sure though ... damn flaky idle gets on my last good nerve. I recall being in a rental-center a few days before getting married. I was there it pick-up whatever STUFF the wedding-planners couldn't carry in their cars. I pulled the Scrambler right up to the front to load, and another customer at the rental counter asks me if I built that rig myself. He'd never seen a "Scrambler" before. So, I told him yeah, it was a kit from Toledo, Ohio. Ever seen that bumper sticker that says: "Creeps Drive Jeeps"? ;-) I converted to an original Scrambler soft half top years ago and the hardtop is in storage. The canvas wind-noise is much quieter than the warn & loose hardware holding the fiberglass top, and the canvas probably leaks less! I don't have any recent pics of my Scrambler and today it's sitting under a tarp waiting on me to replace her water pump. The 4-speed broke down, and was swapped out for the 5-speed a few years ago and even then she ran ... the tranny mechanic asked in amazement, "you drove this from where? How far did you say?" Her tranny had a hole the size of my fist in the side but wouldn't strand me even then. The rear axle is still the AMC pumpkin, but with a Warn full floater kit installed, complete with rear hubs. The original gas tank was too small a capacity to be convenient for long off-roads so I had a custom 24gal. tank fabricated and installed. The radiator has been replaced with a high capacity/multi-core arrangement a few years ago. I think with something originally meant for Jags, can't really recall now. All the old pics I had lying around show the OLD Remington Wide Brute skins but those have been gone for more than 10-years now. The guy at America's Tire Company swore that I was lying to him when I told him that the BF Goodrich All Terrains he was looking at were 10+ years old; 'til I handed him the original paperwork and receipt from that same store, a decade before, and ask him to check a vale stem in one of 'em for a slow leak. I'm sure that 60-Minutes wouldn't approve of my tooling around in decade old, dry-rotted skins, but when the tread is still so good that the salesman couldn't see any reason to replace 'em ... before I showed him that receipt that is! ;-) And "chrome" ... that was a youthful mistake. Never again. Curses to "chrome". Hey I ask you, is there a better mode of transportation, on a hot summer day, than a topless (and door-less) Scrambler with Jimmy Buffett blaring, "It's a Rag Top Day" and fools askin' ya if you designed and built your ride? There truly is only one Jeep, and it's the Scrambler. | |
| 061868 | High backed bucket seats; “carpet”; light kit; hard top; metal doors. | Terry Earehart, KY | I ordered my scrambler (from Russell Reed and Son, Cincinnati, Ohio) in May of ’81 and received it in June, four days after receiving it, we were sitting on the axels in a Timberjack track. I bought my scrambler to haul my dirt bike between my house and the dirt in order to avoid the Ky. State Police and the laws against dirt bikes on paved surfaces. I used the scrambler as my principle means of transportation for several years even after getting married. Five children do not travel well however and the scrambler is in dire need of refurbishment. I have replaced the four cylinder Pontiac 151 CID once and rebuilt that one. The scrambler is the only four wheeled vehicle I have ever purchased brand new. My youngest daughter is fifteen and would like to drive it if I fix it. | |
| 061903 | 4cyl/4spd ½htop | Steve, AK | Totally burned from the roll bar forward - currently being dismantled for rebuild. | |
| 061906 | Ellen Smith, TX | It's stock, 4 speed standard transmission, factory yellow with a Scrambler logo, about 46,000 miles on it, and it runs great. My dad bought it for me about 15 years ago. I drove it in high school. While I was off at college and living in New York City after college, people would always try to buy it from him, but he kept it for me. Now I'm driving it again and couldn't be happier. | ||
| 062195 | 6 Cyl, 4 Spd, PS, A/C | Si Sanders, NC | I just got the jeep 9/1/00 and have started to take it apart (flares, tire rack, trim, hood hardware, hard top, etc.) just enough to be legal. I'm using it as a daily driver, so I am having to do a rolling restoration best I can. It was originally Dark Blue with blue trim. Now it's Blue, Old Primer, New Red Primer, Metal, and Bondo Color. I believe that it had a 1/2 Hard Top originally. When I got it, it had a Full Hard Top (Nice) on it, with a Full Soft Top in the deal. I have plans to have it painted Yellow if I ever get done with the body work. Line the inside with bedliner and put a back seat in it. Then lift it about 4", 2" Body and 2.5" Suspension, and go to 33" Tires. The rest after that is going to be up to the budget and what my wife will let me get away with. | |

It has been setting along time with only 5000 miles on it and runs great. I have been trying to find something about the diesel, and are there any others. It has been sitting at a dealer all this time and can with the certificate of origin, never been titled. I am sending some PIC.

| 063072 | TN | I am the second owner of this Jeep. The original owner had not maintained the jeep and she is rusted out and in dire need of TLC. ( The original owner patched the rust holes with roofing tar) She is all original and not real pretty but she runs and drives great. To my knowledge she was the first Scrambler that I have ever seen and it was love at first sight. I don't know why but I just guess that I might have felt sorry for her. I have no knowledge of how to "fix her up", but I'm going to try. (slowly) I would at least like to get her looking good enough so that people don't laugh at me and I'm not losing body parts while I'm driving down the road. | ||
| 063073 | Bryan Montague, UT | AKA the grinch due to the fact I painted it green and never got around to painting the red dash a different color so its kinda x-masy. It has a 258 with a motercraft 2100 carb, Borla header, full floater and trussed Dana 20 rear, Dana 44 front from a scout, lock rights front and rear, t 19 tranny, Dana 300 transfer case, 4" bds lift, 35" procomp mudders, major fender trimming, home made shackle reversal, wrangler springs, half cab, rhino lined interior, 1985 ford v-6 ignition system, probably a lot more that I have forgotten but oh well. | ||

| 063748 | Matt, CA | someone hit four parked cars on my street. unfortunately my scrambler was one of them. insurance paid for the body repairs but I've had to shell out some cash to restore the jeep to the original rootbeer brown. I've also moved the spare, bought new wheels and tires and gone with a decal kit. it's an ongoing project so I've got a site to take a look at the process. http://web.mac.com/mattvanwagenen/iWeb/Site/Jeep.html | ||

063997 | 6cyl, 4 spd | Patrick, FL | Purchased early in August from a coon hunter in Kentucky off Ebay. Car was slightly worse then expected. Mainly the frame became the issue so it is being replaced with a Matkins Extreme Frame. Tub is in good condition floor is good. Body panels front, rear and corners will be new. Fenders hood and everything else will be useable. I have purchased about 5K worth the parts lights, hoses, gaskets,and any other item that it made sense to buy new then try and fix or restore. Body and axles are being sent out to be stripped and the engine has begun it's overhaul. I have the luxury of having mechanics as well as painters to help. This vehicle will be a fully restored vehicle, slightly lifted and custom paint. So I am hoping to have it done by October.
Update: I want to update my Jeep info with pictures. I am now done except for the front and rear bumper. I just have not found one that is what I want. I have a couple of before and a few after pictures I would love to have posted. I sent you a ton. Weed thru and please post what you can. To say what has not been redone is easier: Firewall, floor and left fender and hood. Everything else is new. Modified Amp Running Boards, Pro Comp Cam, Engine rebuilt to a 9:1, Offenhauser Open Intake, 4bbl Holly Carb, K&N Filter, Painless Wire Harness, All New Gauges, Matkins Extreme Frame Borla Header and Custom Stainless Exhaust, Skyjacker 2.5 Lift, 33x10 Procomp Tires, ProComp Wheels, YJ Half Doors, Sparco Seats, Bestop Aqua Rear Seat, Bestop Bikini, Bestop Rollbar cover, Stainless Fuel and Brake lines, Paint is Chrysler Prowler Orange.

this jeep was 1 of 2 purchased new in 81' to be used as snow plows at the university of Colorado, they were used for 3 years on campus then auctioned off. an elderly gentleman in evergreen Colorado bought this one to use for the bad winter months, when he got it home and his wife rode in it she claimed it was too rough and told him to get rid of it... so he parked it in a barn for 20 years. the man i bought it from had found it in the barn and offered to buy it from the old man who claimed he was keeping it for his grandson, when his grandson turned 16 he offered it to him and it was turned down in lieu of a toyota 4x4 so he called the other guy back and sold it to him. this man has a large collection of vehicles and his wife had started to nag him to thin the collection out, so since the jeep was the least used of the set he put it in the paper for sale for 10,000$. the first day it ran i saw the add and went to look at it the next day and laid 10k cash in his palm, never even ask to haggle on the price. i have every item that was on the jeep from the factory including the dummy plate over the radio and the factory springs and hangers and wheels. the jeep now has a 2 inch lift, custom wheels and a 1984 model am/fm jeep brand radio in it. |

| 066725 | Rod Diaz, PA | I rescued the body of an '81 Scrambler and have it up in running on a salvaged 84 frame and the drive train of a 78 CJ7 with Quadra-Trac with reduction unit (that's 4.10 in the pumpkins). It has a fresh AMC 360 V-8 with Holley Pro-Jection (2D) fuel injection. It rides on 31.5 x10.5 and an Old Man Emu 2" suspension with Currie greaseable shackles giving it about another inch of travel upwards. Thinking about 35's all round. It was a frame up restoration that took 2 years. | ||

It has the original 4 cyl engine with I believe 400k + miles, still starts, runs, and drives. The person I bought it from bought it in 1985 with 78,600 miles. It still has the original hard top but it has I believe cj7 soft doors that do not fit at all. It's rough and rusty but it has a lot of potential. If I keep it (?) I will lift it and put a v-8 in it. I am going to test the waters on selling it I think. |

| 068946 | 6cyl, 4spd | Bill, ME | It still has the original paint and proudly displays the "scrambler" hood lettering. I have modified a cj7 top to fit up against the factory half top. I did this so that i could sell my chevy and use this as my work truck. I also got rid of the 235's and stock springs in favor of a lift and 33's. It was formerly owned by an elderly man who parked it for 15 years. (32k original miles) In Maine- which by the way is a great place for year round wheeling.(whos afraid of a little snow) I also own another rare breed of jeep- my first- a 1951 M-38. It has been heavily modified and is my primary woods buggy. (bouncing off trees is not too good for your work truck) | |
| 068984 | 4cyl, SR-4, ps, pb, tilt, ½ top | Matt Chilek, TX | I bought my '81 Scrambler in august 01 from an individual in Scott's Bluff, Nebraska, where it was originally sold through the dealer. It's stock for now and lays down a smoke screen that would make James Bond proud. Frame is close to immaculate, minor body rust. Plans for a 5.7 Vortec V-8 are in the works. | |
| 068957 | 258 I-6, T176 4 SPEED, HARD TOP AND DOORS | CHRIS READ, NJ | I lost the I-6 in a swamp in early 1987, and replaced it with a mildly tweaked 350 4 bolt with a Holley 600. I used Novak Enterprises motor mounts and trans adapter, and they are still holding together today. The 350 lasted 14 years, but finally gave up last year and started spewing oil from every orifice. I'm now running a T.B.I. 305 out of a Caprice wagon. The good old T-176 is still there, but the AMC 20 rear has been replaced by a Dana 44, and both driveshafts have been upgraded. The original 2.72 gears were tossed, and it now runs 3.54's with a Detroit locker in the rear. I used a 4" spring lift (under axle), 15x8 Keystone Vortex wheels and 33x12.50 BFG M/T's. The interior has black Think Jeep high backs, black Steel Horse console, Grant G/T wheel and a Sony AM/FM cassette. I have a Kayline soft top and doors, as well as a bikini top and soft half doors. The original dark green paint is still there, and it still has some shine to it, though you have to look between the branch marks. However, the old dog is starting to shows it's age, with rust coming through below the door openings, and under 1 rear fender flare. If I see a decent Christmas bonus this year, it'll go right to the body shop. The Jeep ain't as pretty as it once was, but every time I take it out of the garage someone asks if he can buy it. When a guy offers enough to pay off my mortgage, I might just think about it. | |
| 069006 | 6cyl, 1/2 ht | Michael Wilkie, Ontario | Was going to be parted out but previous owner had nothing to do during the winter and did some body work on and slapped on a few parts from an old CJ7. It needs a bit of work new springs, manifolds, tranny and transfer case etc. I plan on keeping it mostly original except for a few upgrades to bring me into the 21 Century. It will be used for daily driving and off road. | |

| 069922 | Josh, FL | I
bought this Jeep from a guy whose grandfather bought it brand new in 81.
When grandpa passed away, he inherited it and didn’t really know what he
had. He parked it in a parking lot here on MacDill Air Force Base
with a for sale sign in the window. I came along 30 minutes later
and saw it. Needless to say, I didn’t waste any time getting to
the bank to get what little bit of money he wanted for it. I am a
third generation Jeep nut and have dreamed of owning a Scrambler all of my
adult life. My wife loves Jeeps too and didn’t hesitate to say yes
when I asked if I could get it. I can’t believe I found one in
such great shape for a fraction of what it’s worth. I will cherish
it forever. By the way, it’s not for sale. The pictures were
taken when the other guy had it for sale, hence the for sale sign in the
window. Anyone know where I can get a factory original radio (or
good clone) for this baby? |

Needs a little body work as they all do , but this one seems to be in great shape for a CJ. Never had problems with the engine except just recently the water pump went, (original) so I replaced all the hoses, clamps, pump, and thermostat. I do own another '81 Engine that runs strong but needs new main bearings that I might be willing to let go for the cause. My funny story is I bought it after a big snow in Delaware wanting to go 4ing in the snow, it never snowed again over 1/2 inch in Delaware for 5 years ROFL;\. I see another 078*** in Delaware. |

| 079459 | A/C | Web Skinner, TX | Just lucked into this one. Found it in the local free paper. Everyone here seems to want it, and wonder where I got it. She's listed with 173K miles, but after changing a badly worn timing chain, distributor, radiator, water pump, alternator, fuel pump and rear brakes, I think 273K is closer to the mark. Now that I've blown my budget, paint and some minor bvody work will have to wait. With a primer gray front and copper rear, my friends think it's definitely my kind of vehicle. | |
