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.

Chrysler Recalls 350K Vehicles To Fix Ignition Switches

Thu, Sep 25 2014

Chrysler is recalling nearly 350,000 cars and SUVs to fix ignition switches that could unexpectedly shut off the engines. The recall covers 2008 Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee SUVs, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans, and Dodge Magnum wagons. All were built before May 12, 2008. Chrysler says the ignitions may not fully return to the "on" position after being started. The switches could move to "accessory" or "off." That could shut off the engine and knock out power-assisted steering and other features. Chrysler knows of one crash and no injuries from the problem. It's telling people to use the key alone in the ignition and confirm that switches have returned to "on" after starting their cars. Chrysler is investigating the cause. Customers will be notified when repairs are ready. Related Gallery The Trucks And SUVs Consumers Are Liking Most View 11 Photos

VW, Rivian, Nissan, BMW, Genesis, Audi and Volvo lose EV tax credits starting tomorrow

Mon, Apr 17 2023

The U.S. Treasury said Monday that Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, Rivian, Hyundai and Volvo electric vehicles will lose access to a $7,500 tax credit under new battery sourcing rules. The Treasury said the new requirements effective Tuesday will also cut by half credits for the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Rear Wheel Drive to $3,750 but other Tesla models will retain the full $7,500 credit. Vehicles losing credits Tuesday are the BMW 330e, BMW X5 xDrive45e, Genesis Electrified GV70, Nissan Leaf , Rivian R1S and R1T, Volkswagen ID.4 as well as the plug-in hybrid electric Audi Q5 TFSI e Quattro and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric Volvo S60. The Swedish carmaker is 82%-owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. The rules are aimed at weaning the United States off dependence on China for EV battery supply chains and are part of President Joe Biden's effort to make 50% of U.S. new vehicle sales by 2030 EVs or PHEVs. Hyundai said in a statement it was committed to its long-range EV plans and that it "will utilize key provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate the transition to electrification." Rivian declined to comment and the other automakers could not immediately be reached for comment. Treasury also disclosed General Motors electric Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV will qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit. GM said earlier it expected at least some of its EVS would qualify for the $7,500 tax credit under the new rules, including the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq and forthcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV SUV and Blazer EV SUV. Treasury said all GM EVs will qualify. Earlier, Ford Motor and Chrysler-parent Stellantis said most of their electric and PHEV models would see tax credits halved to $3,750 on April 18. Treasury confirmed the automakers' calculations. The rules were announced last month and mandated by Congress in August as part of the $430 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA requires 50% of the value of battery components be produced or assembled in North America to qualify for $3,750, and 40% of the value of critical minerals sourced from the United States or a free trade partner for a $3,750 credit. The law required vehicles to be assembled in North America to qualify for any tax credits, which in August eliminated nearly 70% of eligible models and on Jan. 1 new price caps and limits on buyers income took effect.

Next-gen Jeep Wrangler to pack 300-hp Hurricane turbo four

Mon, May 9 2016

Fiat Chrysler has been working for some time now on a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Dubbed "Hurricane," the engine is now said to produce nearly 300 horsepower. And its first application could be in the next-generation Jeep Wrangler. With that much power coming from such a small engine, the Hurricane would offer an even higher level of specific output than the 1.75-liter engine in the Alfa Romeo 4C – one of FCA's highest-stressed engines – far eclipsing the 4C's 120 horsepower per liter with 150 hp/l. By way of comparison, the latest 2.0-liter, four-cylinder version of Ford's EcoBoost engine produces "only" 245 hp (122.5 hp/l). The 2.0-liter turbo four in the latest Mercedes-AMG CLA45 and GLA45, however, produces 375 hp. To get so much out of so little an engine, FCA will utilize a twin-scroll turbocharger and variable valve timing. That could make it ideally suited towards a compact performance model, but according to Automotive News, its first application could be in the new the Wrangler. The larger 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 produces 285 hp, nearly as much as the Hurricane will. But with a smaller engine, an eight-speed transmission, and aluminum construction, the new Jeep will likely benefit from dramatically-improved fuel consumption. Related Video:
