Introduction:
Purchased a 1981 4 speed 4 cylinder Scrambler from a local small time classic car lot this summer. I knew nothing about Jeeps or any other 4x4 vehicle. I've always wanted a Scrambler or CJ7.
The Scrambler checked all my blocks to keep a retired man from boredom. I plan on driving this vehicle as much as possible when safe to do so. The original plan was to find an old pickup truck that I could park and when I completly retired, I'd have something to tinker on.
Why this vehicle makes good sense to me.
1. 4x4
2. It has a top
3. Its a pick up truck
4. Simple to work on
5. Great aftermarket support
6. Durable
7. Everybody loves a Jeep
8. Dog proof
This thread will be for the person who isn't ready for an all out restoration, but want just a nice driver. I'm going to try my best not to get bogged down with my Jeep in pieces for years. This will be a journal of me as I learn all about Jeeps.
Disclaimer: there are some very professional quality builds of this forum, mine will not be one of them. Everthing I do to this Scrambler will have roots from these build threads. Look over everyone, so much to learn.
