Hi all!! I just picked up an '81, 304, 4 speed scrambler. My first jeep was this '77 CJ 5, with the T18 tranny, and totally shot suspension. Usually a couple times a trip, I'd be swapping the rear u joint.
My next one was many years later, a '08 JKUR, built to run 38.5" boggers and swampers. Worked great, except for all the computer glitches and nannies. Then this happened.
So I put it out to all my jeep buddies that I wanted a scrambler. And luckily, one of them came thru for me!!
I got it for $5g, not even sure if it was running or not! I dragged it home, threw in a rad from my other saved CJ parts, filled her up, threw in a new battery, and whew!! She fired up!! She blew kibble a and bits all over the driveway!! She'd been sitting in a barn for several years, so the mice had been packing the exhaust up.
Again, I put out the word that I wanted a doubler, and wound up with the NWF doubler, the triple stick, and the 203/205's for a grand.
I picked front and rear D60's for it, for $600, and then realized I'd gotten a non full float rear, so again, another buddy hooked me up with a 14 bolt, with discs for $200. I'm also picking up a 401, with a TH400 for the power plant. The plan is 38-42" tire's, detroits, with 5.38's, and mainly a trailer queen. With some bootin around town with my kids of course!! I also got a second scrambler frame with this, and I have plans in the future for that one!! More of a trail/travel rig!
Glad to have found this site, there's so much cool info here, and a good group of people! Oh, and the checker plate is gonna be gone!!
