Well, I never thought this day would come but here it goes.
For sale is an 82 Jeep Scrambler Laredo. Let me first describe the Jeep with what has NOT been upgraded and modified that would be the body and the wiring, everything else has been improved from stock. I’ll go into description with the whole vehicle but the goal was never to build this to sell, so it’s not a bling or car shows truck. When I bought is in 1999 I wanted an all purpose rig that could do everything, drive the long trips on the highway at 65mph, cruise the dunes, rock crawl, have room for camping and do all this reliably. I also didn’t want a hacked rock crawler, I wanted to maintain most of the original “Jeep CJ” characteristics and more specifically accessories unique to the Scrambler. You’ll see parts of this Scrambler you probably have never seen in combination before.
Frame – is an aftermarket Throttle Down Kustoms galvanized Jeep Scrambler frame

Suspension – is a spring over with 2.5” Wrangler Springs with Rancho 9012 adjustable shocks up front, Ford F150 Shock towers
Tires and rims – 37 x 12.50 x 15 Goodyear MTRs on American Racing AR 767 (spare has side wall slice)

Steering – high clearance, cross-over steering linkage from a FSJ with Shaker Built arms, custom pitman arm, 2 steering braces and power steering cooler
Brakes – 4 wheel disc brakes with, adjustable brake rod and 4 wheel disc master cylinder from a firebird
Recovery – Warn XD9000 winch with dual batteries and Painless Wiring Isolator
Offroad Accessories –York on-board air with J&L Bumper, 3 gallon air tank, swing tire carrier and receiver hitch. Power inverter to run small power tools, CB, half cab roll cage
Original Jeep/Scrambler Accessories – nutmeg tonneau cover (made to use tracks from the full soft top), wood rails, nutmeg Kayline ½ Soft Top. This thing comes with 3 sets of doors, half steel doors (pictured) with 2 sets of tan uppers, the original full canvas doors in nutmeg and full steel doors with the Laredo inner panels also in nutmeg. Also comes with a full Kayline soft top in tan with matching upper skins for half doors. Has the original Jeep AM/FM radio (not installed) and CJ back seat.
I might have forgotten some things and I’ll be sure to update when I remember.
It runs great but it is a truck, it’s big and tops out at about 65 mph. If you buy it, be ready to talk to people where ever you go.
I’m asking $8000
