i ended up saving this little guy. The body has a fair bit of rust so that is the biggest downer. price was WAY to cheap to pass up so i hitched it up and brought it home. My first impression was how original everything is. right down to the fan shroud and original keys. i was amazed to find that all the electrical is intact, all the lights work, heater wipers etc. It looks like a well appointed scrambler, tilt wheel leather wrapped wheel and grab bar, tilt, power steering and brakes. was a runner up until 2 months ago when it kept sucking rust up from the tank. P.O dropped it off at a friends auto shop and they went through the carb and had it running on an aux gas can by-passing the tank. The P.O bought a new tank and sender to install and he decided to get rid of it. so far my plan is to get it running so it can move under its own power. so i will replace the tank and fuel lines and go from there. anyone have an extra gas tank skid nearby denver?

the jeep has some decent semi rare parts but i dont think i want to part her out just yet. i need to dig deeper into the frame / body mechanical and see what pans out.

Wow, aside form the obvious rust that's a nice starting point. From what I can see the frame is surface rust. Looks like the worst is on that front fender, and that's replaceable. The bed will take some work, but I'll bet after blasting it doesn't look as bad as it seems. Road salt sucks...I used to live in Utah...I'd wash the undercarriage at least twice a week when they salted, and everything still got a nice layer of surface rust. (Not a Scrambler, I was running 70's Chev pickups then.)

Still cheating in this section as its not the Scrambler, but at least its a Jeep that works and at least has the same wheelbase, with a photo someone sneakily took but i quite like it...

I did that in Jan of 2013. But I got a soft top 4 door. It was a nice ride for Hawaii.

They told me the same thing until I got there and asked about the inventory. They had a few soft top 4 doors so I snagged one. Lots of rental Wranglers. Funny thing was that I had to swap out the fuses for the 12v outlets so that I could charge my phone using the console outlet. Funny that I had a JK with the hood up on the side of the road.

Got rearended. The Runck bumper seemed to take it and do a number on the guys grill. Other than bending the latch and pushing the tire carrier arm into a tail light, there does not seem to be any other damage. But need to check under the jeep.
