Well, it all started back in December of 2011, I had just sold my 1993 Wrangler Sahara (2 owner) thinking my Jeep days were behind me, I was driving my 2010 Jetta Sportwagen TDI (6 speed)-RIP, had my 2009 Challenger (6 speed, still in the stable)as my "toy" and wanted to spare any more back pain and stiffness that comes along with owning a Jeep...hey I was turning 30 and too old for a lifted Jeep right?
However a month later, I found myself e-mailing the guy I sold my Sahara to asking to buy it back...the Jeep bug was too strong to deny, chronic back pain and tremors while driving the highway would be a lifetime inconvenience...no luck, he wouldn't sell me my baby back.
Quickly I did the first rational thing after finding out my Sahara was gone for good....go on craigslist and buy a 1983 Scrambler with little to no knowledge regarding model types, rust issues and general important information one could obtain from a forum such CJ-8.com.
The Scrambler had been a High School dream ever since spotting one in a parking lot and wondering what it was...
So why did I buy this particular camo wrapped , deathed out Scramber ?
Price ! $7k for a running Scrambler seemed like a bargain at the time and having a car addiction, I didn't want a $15k Scrambler and basically convinced myself that using my "Sahara money" would justify this purchase.
I was told it was a 2 owner car with Texas ties...unfortunately home applied camo and truck liner kind of cast a shadow on it's "originality" ... but hey at least the dash wasn't cut right?
