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.

FCA recalls 894k total vehicles worldwide in two campaigns

Fri, Oct 30 2015

FCA is recalling a total of 893,698 vehicles worldwide in two campaigns to fix problems with inadvertent airbag deployment, failure of the anti-lock brakes, and stability control systems in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Dodge Journey, and Fiat Freemont. 559,703 of these vehicles are in the US. The larger recall affects 284,089 examples of the 2003 Jeep Liberty and 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and there are also 13,411 of them in Canada, 6,277 in Mexico, and 48,212 outside the NAFTA region. Because of "electrical noise beyond the tolerance of the airbag electronic control module", part of that component can fail, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This can cause the front and side airbags to deploy and the seatbelt pre-tensioners to activate inadvertently. FCA US has seven reports of alleged injuries from this problem. To fix the situation, the Jeeps need their Occupant Restraint Control modules replaced, as well as the front- and side-impact sensors. According to the NHTSA, the replacement parts won't be available until early 2016. Still, FCA US will advise owners about the problem in a letter by the end of December and will send a second notification when the components are ready. The second campaign affects 275,614 examples of the 2012-2015 Dodge Journey in the US; plus 78,148 of them in Canada, 36,471 in Mexico, and 151,476 left-hand drive units outside of NAFTA where it's sold as the Fiat Freemont. On these vehicles, water intrusion can disable the anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control, although a warning light often illuminates when this issue occurs, and the problem doesn't affect regular braking. There are also no reports of injuries or accidents. To fix the issue, dealers will seal the ABS wiring harness and will replace any already affected components as necessary, like the ABS module or the headlamp and dashboard wiring harness. Statement: Occupant Restraint Control Modules October 30, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 284,089 older-model SUVs in the U.S. to replace their Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) modules and front and/or side-impact sensors, as required. Within this vehicle population, FCA US became aware of seven injuries caused by inadvertent air-bag deployments and advised NHTSA accordingly. The affected vehicles are not equipped with Takata Corp. air-bags. The Company is unaware of any related accidents.

Dodge muscle cars, armored Jeep to star in Furious 7 [w/video]

Wed, Mar 11 2015

We're less than a month away from the smorgasbord of speed, stunts and shooting that is Furious 7, and it arrives in theaters on April 3 as one of the first big films of the year. Starring Fast and Furious regulars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, plus Jason Statham as the big villain, this entry looks to be another exciting addition to the franchise. With such a major movie that features cars as much as the actors, it shouldn't be a surprise that an automaker is getting in on the action as a promotional partner. FCA US supplied nearly 30 vehicles for the film, including prominent roles for a 2015 Dodge Charger, Challenger R/T and armored Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. To really play up the connection, the automaker has laid out a global advertising campaign featuring its models. The marketing includes a variety of unique spots with the cars appearing online and in music videos. Among them in the US is a TV ad called Flash to the Future (embedded below) for the Challenger. Hopefully, Furious 7 can live up to all its pre-release hype. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
