When I bought this jeep it had been sitting in a guys carport for over 8 years. It had been stolen from him and when it was recovered, the thieves had broken all the gauges and glass in the vehicle, as well as the seats and center console, and he could not afford to repair it. The odometer at that time had somewhere around 89,000 miles on it.
After buying the vehicle, I began a restoration project. I replaced all the gauges (the odometer is a used replacement and does not reflect the actual miles), and the glass. I replaced the broken seats with a seat from a S-10 pickup that is bolted on to the original jeep seat bases. In 2008, I had the drive train evaluated, and bought a replacement engine from S&S Engine Remanfacturing in Spokane, Washington. At that time I turned the restoration project over to a local Big O garage shop. Over the next several months they replaced the existing engine with the S&S engine. They replaced the existing carb with a brand new custom carb (see pictures), they rebuilt the transmission, transfer case, and front and rear ends, They replaced all the brakes and the rear brake drums. They put in a new clutch, throw out bearings, and power steering pump. They fixed all the electrical problems and both the clock and tach work. Finally, they put new tires on the vehicle. I had them put both an electrical fuel pump and a mechanical fuel pump in the jeep. I have only put about 400 miles on the vehicle since the work was done. This project was a labor of love for me because I had brought a jeep scrambler in 1982 when they first came out and had driven it for years until my wife had the audacity to get pregnant for the 2nd time and I was forced to sell the scrambler to buy a car. I had said if I could ever buy another one I would.
While I was doing the initial restoration work, I was mobilized by the army (again), and sent to Iraq, I was medevaced out of Iraq and medically retired by the army. Due to my medical condition I am no longer able to work on vehicles and do any four wheeling in the hills. That is why I had the garage do all the mechanical work on the jeep. The work was completed in 2009, and the jeep has basically sat there since. It's time for it to go where someone will drive and use it.
I have the warranty paperwork on the engine, and I have copies of paperwork showing all the parts that were replaced during the rebuild. There is some rust on one back fender and its in the photos. All that is really left to do with the jeep is body work and paint. I have the original wood that came on the scrambler which needs to be refinished also. I added a picture of a ripple in the bottom of the cab on both side of the cab where it looks like the tub got pushed the forward slightly , but I could not find any frame damage, and it doesn't affect the doors opening or closing. You could replace the seat with standard jeep seats easily as the original seat bases are still in place. It has some kind of spray on undercoating which is flaking off in spots, but there isn't any rust in the bottom of the cab or tub.
This vehicle could be used as a daily driver, it starts and runs like a champ. I put well over $6,000 into it for just parts during the rebuild process. I never intended to sell this vehicle, but it deserves a better fate than sitting in my back yard day after day.
Any questions or specific photos please email.

Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning
Fri, 17 May 2013According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.
FCA recalls 1.1 million vehicles worldwide due to confusing shifter
Fri, Apr 22 2016Fiat Chrysler is recalling 1.1 million vehicles worldwide to address the problematic shifter used on cars with eight-speed automatic transmissions. The issue is that the console-mounted shifter acts like a rocker switch and always returns to the middle position after moved. This has been deemed confusing to drivers – confusing enough to cause some to exit their vehicles without first selecting Park and leading to the car rolling away. FCA says 41 injuries are related to the shifter problem, and no evidence of equipment failure has been found. The company will enhance warning chimes and alter the shift strategy, meaning alert messages will be displayed in case the driver door is opened while the engine is running. With the door open, the transmission will prevent the car from moving even if Park is not selected. The affected vehicles are certain model-year 2012–2014 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans, as well as model-year 2014–2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs, an estimated 811,586 US vehicles in total. The recall also affects 52,144 vehicles in Canada, 16,805 in Mexico, and 248,667 vehicles elsewhere. The shifter is used with ZF-designed and ZF-built eight-speed automatic; Audi uses a similar shifter setup in some of its vehicles, including the current-generation, which predated Chrysler's use of it. Chrysler uses a different, a rotating-dial-type shifter on eight-speed-equipped Rams. The company moved away from the problem shifter design in 2015 for the Charger and 300, and the Grand Cherokee's shift lever was modified for 2016. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of the recall when service is available. Fiat Chrysler urges customers to follow the instructions in the vehicle's owner's manual in the meantime.

Jeep Wrangler Dragon Edition coming to North America
Thu, 12 Sep 2013If 2012 was the year of the dragon in China, perhaps the US can claim 2014. After showing the Jeep Wrangler Dragon Design Concept at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, and apparently receiving "tremendously positive feedback" from Jeep enthusiasts across the globe, the automaker has decided to introduce a production version that will hit US showrooms this fall with a price of $36,095.
"The dragon symbolizes strength and power and is an aspirational character normally associated with royalty and good fortune," says Jeep, and that apparently equates to a blacked-out Wrangler Unlimited with bronze satin gloss highlights inside and out, along with big dragon decals that start on the hood and run down the fenders. There are 18-inch matte black wheels with a bronze outer edges, and a dragon-emblazoned spare tire cover completes the look.
We suggest you peruse the high-res image gallery above to see all the black and bronze detailing yourself, and make special note of the interior. In related news, all 2014 Jeep Wrangler models get an optional Trail Kit and clear park lamps to replace the previous amber units. New colors include Amp'd, Anvil, Copperhead, Flame Red, Granite Crystal and Hydro Blue (Freedom edition only), which join carryover colors Billet Silver, Bright White, Black and Dune.
