    I love that Jeep so much! My first Jeep was an 81 Scrambler I bought for $2500 off a car lot in Grass Valley. I wanted to drive the Rubicon so bad. I now have a CJ-7 that is built nearly identically to your Scrambler, but in much worse condition. I'd love to completely rebuild it and stretch the wheelbase and tub but keep it low tech with leaf springs and carburetor.

    Water crossings, friendly rewinder go slow go slow save yourself a bunch of headaches in the end. End of discussion on that one. I had an m38j Willys jeep for about 20 years with an F head engine in it put that thing in four-wheel-drive low range first gear. It would crawl up just about anything. It was sure slow going, but it would go was very fast down the road in high gear and highway range, but it was sure fun to drive out in the desert Did pretty good in the sand dunes out at Glamis and out in the chocolate mountains to lotta fun back in the day 70s and 80s and 90s even with my blazer my 1977 blazer lotta fun but water crossings you go slow so you don’t drown the engine out and keep track of the water level number one rule for me when crossing water along with how fast the water is running as well.

The prototype the Very first Jeep is a site to behold and every TRUE Jeeper should see it and Make their way to Butler PA. Parr of the Original Factory still exists as well. Dave you should come to Butler find a Jeep roadkill it.....Wait till the Heritage Jeep fest next June find a Jeep for sale their.

Sorry Chapelle! I saw part of this on Chapelles channel! Did you try pulling the spark plugs blowing the water out and trying to start it or did it immediately bend valves or something?
