Scramblers are fun. The backcountry tour outfit I used to guide for had a fleet of them. Four-cylinders, sixes, and at least one with a small-block V8. Automatics and sticks, both. They were set up with double bench seats in the back and full cages. The V8 was the most fun to drive 'cause it was lifted high and really loud. But in the backcountry, that meant we never saw any wildlife from it. The four-banger was severely underpowered with six people aboard. The six-cylinder was my favorite to drive.
They have since switched over to four-door Wranglers.
