My dad bought it off the showroom floor in 1981 and has had it up until he passed away a couple years ago at 64? I have so many memories that include the old Scrambler. I have two young boys that I’m excited to share and make memories with.
Well now that it’s mine and I’ve finally been able to muscle down my tears every time I’m around the jeep or in the shop, I’ve decided to begin the build/restore.
I have never taken on a project like this before but I’ve help and watched my dad over the years do this same thing. I have almost 20years mechanical experience under my belt Now I’m a journeyman Carman/Welder for Union Pacific.
As for the Scrambler I’ve started to take it down to the frame so I can repair some rust.
Plans are LS TH350 D300 YJ OME 2.5 springs upgrade the AMC 20 and D30 4:56 gears, locker in the rear, unsure yet on which one. New body and paint.
