Everywhere else on the 'net I'm known as Jeepaholic, I've owned about 14 Jeeps ranging from a 46 to a 2000, from a Grand Wagoneer to a flat fender, little 4 bangers to big ol v-8's, stock to seriously build but I've never owned a Scrambler. I can't afford a nice one yet, but I'm hoping by spring maybe.
Here's what I want to do with it. Buy one that runs and drives, then start the build-up. Drop in the 4.0L and AW4 from a Cherokee, 8.8 from a mustang and Dana 44 front from a Canadian Comanche. Lift it about 4" to fit 33's, add a winch on the front, and most importantly, add a second rear seat and full 'cage so I can take my wife and 3 kids wheeling.
The problem is, it'll be my DD and I don't expect much about mid teens for fuel economy. I suspect gas will jump back up to $4 a gallon once Obama saves us all and the economy starts to pick up. Maybe convert it to propane or drop a cummins 4BT??
Or should I just knock it off, get the GLH back on the track and have fun that way?
