1982 JEEP SCRAMBLER LAREDO CJ-8 rebuilt 258 5-speed 4x4 sport utility

Reputed to be the best Road and hill-climb CJ ever made. I'm the second owner--since 1988. Not desert. but it's always been in arid regions until I now brought it back home. About 12. 00 miles ago (just under 191. 00 total now). I gave the rig to Fred's paint/body shop. then to Motor Masters. then went through the entire drive train with an officer of the NW 4-Wheel Drive Club. My only instructions were to "go through it thoroughly in detail and repair or replace anything you find wrong or worn. " They/We did. including a completely rebuilt engine. in-heater-hose engine heater. new efficiency carb (when trying to get the best I could. I got 25 mi/gal). new exhaust system. all brakes. only 1 gear showed wear and was replaced. replaced any body metal as needed prior to paint. rhino lined inside cabin & bed. complete custom paint. only 1 seat panel needed. then TUFF seat covers with front & rear pockets plus one hidden within driver reach. installed a dbbl-lock security console. fog & reverse lights. secured sound system in which only the remote control shows. marine carpeting w/ mud mats. bikini. safari. tonneau & spare tire covers. nerf bars and a rear bumper with frame-strengthened hitch (3/16 &1/4 " steel). Now getting old with most every joint hurting or replaced. I'm into comfort. and when I got a Polaris to run the horse trails with my dog and grandchildren. my wife and I agreed. if you know how that goes. to only have one baby left around here (56 Dodge). I gave the same instructions to my current mechanic and bodyman I did before. Here's what's left now that they have checked her out: There is a curb scuff on a tire. a 1/4" tear in the dash. replace one bed snap for the tonneau. sno wheels need repaint & factory chromes have some pitting. surface (only) rust underneath on the frame(not body). a small ding on the right door interior (I couldn't get it to show in a picture) and the standard inside crack in the plastic on both doors just under the window. The gearshift boot tore last month. and I'll order a new one of those. To perfect the rig now. I would replace the window insulation/seals and duplicate the HD bumper to the front as is now in the rear. I cut the metal for this but never welded it together. Occasionally tighten the HD valve cover to prevent oil leak. I put a new battery in her and muffler/tailpipe. You have one more season or more on the tires depending on the miles you drive. Besides the metal for the bumper. I have a couple of seats that could be mounted in the bed if you like the idea--we could work something out. Look at the pictures. Tell me by email if you want more. If EBay doesn't automatically include an auto check history. I can send one of those. too. I won't ship it. but I would work with your shipper--after bank certification of payment. Fair? Thanks for your interest. Whether you win or not. I hope you enjoy the auction.
