Son of a Scrambler Man

[txsbill]

My name is Jake Brunner, I am Bill Brunner's (Txsbill) eldest son. I'm here in Houston with my little sister right now because my dad passed away in his sleep on Tuesday morning.. My little sister and I are managing his estate and have been working all week on cleaning up the property and trying to figure everything out, but its a doozie. One of the big things on our list is to find home for my dads latest Jeep project. While I would like to be able to finish the jeep myself, I live across the country and don't have the capacity to take on a project like that, so so Id like to find a new home for it.

I know my dad was a jeep nut, and he used to frequent this forum constantly. I even remember going to a scrambler meetup in Arkansas when I was a kid, which assume was coordinated in this forum. That said, I feel like this forum is my best shot at finding someone who is equally passionate about Jeeps, and would be willing to take this off our hands. With everything we've got going on though, I could really use some help with this. Is there any chance you guys would be willing to help me find a new owner for my dad's Scrambler?

If anyone is willing to help - please shoot me an email. I don't know exactly where he was at with it, but its definitely in the "work in progress" stage ..

What I know so far:
- The jeep is currently in Houston, Tx
- It doesnt run..
- I know its an 84'

Ill try to get pictures/detailed info tomorrow to post on this thread, but if you guys have any ideas, id love to hear them.

Thanks everyone,
Jake Brunner

Sorry for your loss, Jake. I always enjoyed conversations with your dad. Although I am not looking for a project at this moment, I would love to see some pictures of the Scrambler. My son, a Lockheed research engineer, is looking for something to work on. Best part is, he is in Dallas and would love to take a peek. Again, sorry for your loss. Good luck.

Jake,

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I think your dad would be very proud and happy with your efforts here. I wish you good luck as you work thorough your father's estate.

I’m sorry for your loss Jake. I meet your Dad at that Scrambler event many years ago. Your Mom actually drove my Jeep back to the base camp area after a short trail. Nice guy, I enjoyed all of his animal pictures that he posted on Facebook.

So sorry for your loss. I 100% agree with Chamba about your efforts to do what would make your Dad happy and proud. This is the community that can assist with what you're trying to do and it feels like your best chance to find the right owner starts right here. Good luck and my condolences again for your loss.

Sorry for your loss, if you need any help I am on the west side of Houston, between Richmond & Katy. I don’t currently have any covered storage available, but have plenty of “yard” space if you need to temporarily store it while you find a new home for it.
