I don't think you'll see a build thread really coming out of this beauty. She is just about all original based on moabian's "Luckiest Guy...." thread and that Scrambler is about as perfect as perfect gets.

Gonna start a slow build thread as I change stuff, add stuff, and update stuff. Traded my 03 Ram for this.
I would say worth on the trade. Really digging the camo paint too, looks like a good start already from what the original owner already did.

Yeah, even with the camo, looks like a tastefully modified XJ. Good job.

It's not really a build thread since not much had to be "built"...but the story is here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/for...s-Homecoming?highlight=scrambler's+homecoming

Wow, great finding it back again! Very cool and happy for you.
My youngest, 9, was riding with me the other day in my 7. He asked if I had bought it new from a dealership. I chuckled and said no, I bought it from another person. He had a confused look on his face and asked why anyone would want to sell it. I got a kick out of it. Didn't let on that the thought had crossed my mind a couple of times when it would occasionally act up. He said he'd like to have it one day if I would let him.

Hi Ivers, I noticed that you're running the JW speaker headlights, I have heard mixed reviews of their performance in the snow and ice. What are your thoughts on non heated LED headlights in the snow? Would you recommend the JW speakers for a daily driver in Southeastern New England?

Very nice rig! I have a 1999 the same color and am wanting to also do the Hyline hood louvers body color matched. They look great on your Jeep! Where did you get the stuff to paint them, and did you do it yourself or have someone else do it?
