Hello Everyone,
New to the forum not to Jeeps, CJ8's or forums.
I've had a few Scramblers, including an uber rare 86, that was validated, but put into a telephone pole and crushed.
For years, I've wanted another one and even built a few for customers (I own a restoration shop).
So, this one's named Bucket, because the 51 year old version of me can build the "bucket Jeep" my 20 something version of me could not. I typically don't name things, but the people around me insist they have names, so usually mine are funny or facetious.
I got this from a friend who traded for it. It's a roller, without engine or trans and an aftermarket steel body of unknown to me make.
The plan, is to do silver with the 81 decals that are on it.
Since it's already had the frame patched (have to clean up welds and repaint the frame) as well as an aftermarket body, I really don't mind modifying this how I want to.
I have a GM LH6 modified to about 400hp/tq, a 4L60E with a Dana 300 on the back of it, but starting to think 6L80E instead,
The factory rear rebuilt wide track axles will go, in favor of a rear 9", with 33" tires on whatever lift is already there.
Should be a little hot rod and Ice Cream getter. I don't wheel anymore, so plan to use it as a run about for the business.
