Hey guys, I'm kicking around the idea of selling my scrambler. The Cleveland winters produce too much snow and I'm going to need a more comfortable daily driver (I have a Corvette right now and the Jeep is my other vehicle).
Here's what I got: 85 Jeep Scrambler, 79K original miles, 258ci Inline 6cyl (original), 4spd manual, Dana 300 transfer case
Dana 44's out of a Scout, 4.56 gears, ARB air lockers front and rear with compressor, SOA with 1.5" RE YJ springs, 1" body lift, Shackle reversal, 1-ton steering and flat top knuckles (with high steer arms, but the steering is still on the original knuckle arms),tom woods driveshafts, 10K lb winch, stinger front bumper, interior cage fits under half hard top, half hard top, rear cage in case you want to mount a seat in the back, nice rear bumper with class III receiver hitch, bikini top, sport seats with 5pt harnesses, aluminum diamond plate tool box in back.
4 38x16x16 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws at 95%, MTII classic aluminum wheels (16x10) these wheel probably need more backspacing as the tires rub a bit when turning, 1 spare 38x14 SS SX 75% tread.
This jeep runs great, no problems, does 70 straight and true on the highway (with a tailwind :D ) and it gets 15 mpg!!! (probably due to the gearing). The body has no visible rust, however, the previous owner did put bondo in it and re-painted it. The frame is solid! I have undercoated everything since I have owned it. An auto mechanic by trade and I built this whole project and purposfully made it a "streetable" and capable rig! Most all of the nuts, bolts and hardware are new.
Here is a pic pre-stinger and tires

Here is the cage (pre-new seats and new tires/wheels)

Once again pre-seats, tires and stinger. This is to give an idea of the condition

Here are some that I took tonight (its hard to get good ones because the Jeep is continually covered in snow). I'm not a huge fan of how low the bumper hangs in the back, but it makes towing easier.

And the new stinger. It appears that I lost a headlight bezel! I will replace

Any interest out the in this Jeep? Located in Cleveland, OH. Would make someone a great street drivable, very capable offroad vehicle.
Have something that would completely outperform a Rhino at about the same or less cost!

How much are you asking?
$12,000.
These Scramblers are rare, and this one is extremely well built (not to mention I have about twice that into it).

I'm remembering other stuff too. It has a set of rock sliders (steps) on the side (welded into the cage and frame). Protects the body from damage. Also has 4 new Edelbrock Twin Tube shocks. All fuel lines, brake lines are new. Upgraded to power brakes (with a YJ power booster) from the manual ones it had. The front axle was completely rebuilt with all seals, etc by a shop in town only 6 months ago.
Also comes with bikini top.
This thing has a ton of flex offroad!

Did I mention that it towns my 20' checkmate with no problem at all? Pulls the thing right out of the water too!

I have a 81 scambler lifted with 33's and your right they are rare and handle allot better than other jeeps because of the longer wheelbase. Nice ride and good luck on the sale, thats a killer price for what you have there and all the work that went into it:D

Thanks bud. Thats why I chose to build a Scrambler and not a CJ-7. I spent alot more on this jeep when I bought it because it was a Scrambler too.
This also has a brand new flowmaster exhaust system on it.
