Dear Jambo Owners and Enthusiasts –
It is with great pleasure that we release a completely redesigned and updated version of the Jambo Registry (www.82jambo.com)!
We have improved the navigation, added a TON of information, tightened up what it means to have a confirmed Jambo, and added many Jambos.
Here are a few other highlights:
We tightened up what information we must have in order to consider a Jambo “Confirmed.” The previous site was a bit too loose in this regard. Currently, we have 133 confirmed Jambos (http://www.82jambo.com/82_Jambo_Registry.htm). Other Jambos are classified as “Likely,” “Possible,” “Mythical,” “Scrapped,” and “Fake.” If your Jambo is not listed where you would like it, we would be happy to reclassify it. Please send the required information (see the site) to jambo152@82jambo.com.
We have provided what we think is a highly accurate production estimate. You can read more about it here (http://www.82jambo.com/82_Jambo_Production.html). The bottom line is that Jeep made about 650 Jambos (570 Topaz Gold Metallic and 80 Olympic White). This makes the Jambo not only the rarest CJ-7, but one of the rarest Jeeps of all time.
We have defined the several different batches in which Jambos were made and then specified in which batch each specific Jambo on the site was made (including the date it was produced).
We have also obtained and posted the internal Jeep documents that created and defined the Jambo (http://www.82jambo.com/82_Jambo_Definition.html). These documents answer many questions and help to prove that Jambos came with black rocker molding (http://www.82jambo.com/82_Jambo_Parts_Rockers.html) and explain why many Jambos did not come with factory AC (http://www.82jambo.com/82_Jambo_Parts_AC.html).
We have added a page on the history of the Jambo (http://www.82jambo.com/82_Jambo_History.html). This should help others understand that the Jambo has a history unlike any other CJ-5 or CJ-7.
We have many more things to add to the site, but wanted to get this out to you, after being out for too long.
In all, our goal has been to develop a more formal registry and address the many questions surrounding the Jambo. We hope you enjoy the new site and that it will help to give the Jambo the recognition it deserves.
Thanks,
Eric
