Lifted 83' Jeep Scrambler with tons of modifications, not a show car by a long shot, but stands out in any crowd and gets a lot of looks wherever I take it. I bought this Jeep a few years back with the understanding that there had been some rust in the front floor boards that had been repaired, that the carburetor needed some work, and that the front end needed an alignment. Needless to say there was quite a bit more work needed and I' ve spent the last two years working through them as well as making improvements when possible. I' d like to carry this Jeep to full overhaul, but last fall my wife and I started a build-your-own-human kit and I don't think I can manage those two projects at the same time. Upgrades that were done by previous owners:Original CJ engine swapped out for an 88 YJ 258 Inline 6 -I have no idea why this motor was swapped in or of the actual milage of it.Brake booster/Master cylinder from a full size chevy truck installed. -It makes stopping in this Jeep no problem, even with the big tires.5" body lift -Was done poorly and the body mounts and bushings have suffered for it. I have a complete set of Polyurethane bushings and a stainless steel hardware set but haven' t had a chance to install them. This will drop the Jeep down a couple of inches and improve the ride quality and these components will never wear out again.Sunpro Mini Tachometer - I moved it from on top of the steering wheel into the dashYJ Windshield frame installed -The metal in the YJ frame is thicker, and swapping it in helps solve an issue with the windshield wiper arms bending and failing.Twin-stick kit for Dana 300 Transfer case -Allows High and Low ranges to be applied to one set of axles at a time, which can help out when four-wheeling in tight spaces.
