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.

Jeep brings quartet of concepts to Beijing to show its Chinese style
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Jeep is making a big play for the Chinese crossover market at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show. It has a quartet styling concepts for the Renegade, Cherokee and Wrangler that are inspired by Chinese culture at the show.
Among them is the newest member of the Jeep lineup - the Renegade. Its Zi You Xia concept (pictured above) comes from the Mandarin for "rebel," and it's painted in Warm Chocolate Gray with Dark Anodized Bronze trim, including the 20-inch wheels. The roof, grille surround, and mirror caps are done in a complimentary Dark Charcoal color as an accent. The interior is a mix of dark brown leather and Anodized Copper trim. This is one swanky compact crossover.
The Cherokee Sageland and Urbane concepts are meant to show to different sides of Chinese style. With inspiration from the Shangri-La Region, the Sageland has Ivory Pearl tri-coat paint with bronze trim on the outside, and the interior is covered in Gray Nappa leather with red and blue stitching. The Urbane's look comes from the nightlife in the country's cities. The exterior is a color called Maximum Steel with Hyper Black trim. Inside, it combines Piano Black trim with dark red leather seats.
2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk [w/video]
Mon, Jan 26 2015There are two avenues to the world of off-roading. Arguably the more popular is to pick up a second- or third-hand Jeep, Land Rover or pickup truck and go wild with the aftermarket. The opposite approach, though, is to simply buy new, which brings a warranty along with the most up-to-date off-road tech fitted by the factory (despite likely lacking the ultimate capability of an aftermarket-imbued vehicle). That second option has, traditionally, been pricey. Take our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, which rings up at just over $38,000. A Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is going to be an even more expensive proposition, while the undisputed kings of luxury off-road performance from the factory – the Range Rover, Toyota Land Cruiser and Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen – will require ownership of a medium-sized oil well. With all due respect to those who take their Trail-Rated Jeep Patriot models off-road, the all-new Renegade Trailhawk is such an exciting proposition because it brings the cost of a warranty-backed off-roader down significantly, while also delivering a degree of trail-rated performance that should easily fulfill the needs of the average enthusiast. Drive Notes Before we get into what it adds, it's worth noting that the Trailhawk trim does have a small impact on the Renegade's on-road abilities. As we said in our original feature, the TH adds a significant amount of weight to the standard CUV, as it tips the scales at nearly 3,600 pounds. That mass, combined with the slightly higher stance, means the off-road model doesn't handle quite as well as a lesser Jeep. It also doesn't feel as fleet of foot, as it retains the same 2.4-liter, 180-horsepower four-cylinder and nine-speed automatic found throughout the Renegade range. Despite the downers, the Trailhawk trim does bring quite a lot to the Renegade package, most notably in the form of a bespoke version of Jeep's Active Drive all-wheel-drive system. The upgraded system features a dedicated 20:1 crawl ratio while the Selec-Terrain system is home to a new Rock setting. Beyond that, Jeep lifted the Renegade's ride height eight-tenths of an inch, increasing overall ground clearance to 8.7 inches and delivering 8.1 inches of wheel articulation. This is complemented by unique front- and rear-fascias, which up the approach and departure angles to 30.5 and 34.3 degrees, respectively, besting the Cherokee Trailhawk's 29.8 degrees and 32.1 degrees.
