85 Jeep Scrambler

New member
Selling because I need another daily driver and my new boat is too big.
Here's what I got: 85 Jeep Scrambler, 79K original miles, 258ci (original), 4spd manual, Dana 300.
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 good, does 70 straight and true on the highway (with a tailwind ) 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.
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.
Half hard top, full doors, Also comes with bikini top.
Selling because I bought a bigger boat and can't pull it with this! 216.262.4157 Dave
located in Cleveland, looking to get $11,500
