A 30 minute drive, some horse trading, and I have another Scrambler!

There's also this nagging urge to put a 4BT in it, but I just can't get over being a throttle junkie.

Your wife will probably complain about the 4bt noise too. Those are loud too. :(
 
Put the top back on to free up some storage space in the bed.

Today during my lunch I put the fenders, grille, and hood back on. Loaded up all the rest of the parts in the bed. Started loading stuff from my shop into the storage unit in preparation for moving-

I showed these pictures to my wife- she actually said "Nice"!

Next updates will probably be to start a build thread!

I'll be keeping the stock paint color, and stock decals, 31" tires and no more than 1"-2" lift. A stock looking interior too, but with upgraded seats, and a dash that looks stock but incorporates goodies like Speedhut gauges, extra switches with stock looking labels, maybe underdash air. The powertrain is where I'll go crazy. Some flavor of LS engine with a 4spd automatic, 4.10 gears, 241C transfer case, Ford 9" floater rear with a selectable locker, limited slip front in either a D30 or D44, 4 wheel discs, hydroboost brakes. And a quiet exhaust system. (The specifics may change but you get the idea.)

I want a Scrambler that respects the classic look, has the modern conveniences, and wields more than enough power. OK, maybe excessive power. Going to be really attentive to the appearance in fit and finish. I realize that this is not everyone's cup of tea, but the build thread should be interesting. I've realized a lot in the 2 years since I built Copper, and I think this one will hit my nail on the head. ..

This thought process has been my motto for many years. I love the Jeep CJ's to look almost stock but have all the cool goodies built in that the average Joe would not even notice. It sounds like a perfect build plan to me.
 
Brought her home from storage today. Got a lot of stares, towing a Scrambler with a Scrambler. Anyways, made it home with no issues.

Best part- my wife comes out to see it. I ask her to take a seat in it. She immediately lights up- says she really likes it and asks if I'm going to keep it mostly stock. I tell her that appearance wise it will be mostly stock. She specified she wanted me to keep the dash, gauges, and OE stereo. When I told her I would, she said she was glad I got it! Winner!

I wish I would have started with one that nice, I would have been so much closer to the finish line. It will make an awesome Jeep.

I like the one you already have, Love the color, I may go the LS1 route myself.
 
Randy , as you know I loved your copper build and I look forward to seeing this one built too.
