Looks like you'll be driving the Toyota!

Nice Jeep. I have wanted one forever. Never semed to be the right time. Almost pulled the trigger on a 4 door last year but went the practical route with a 4runner everytime I see one I second guess myself.

Enjoy it!

Go old school and get a CJ8, otherwise known as the Scrambler

Saw a 100% restored Scrambler the other day at Lowe's. Thing was cherry.

Wonder why it never took off? Just seems like a much more practical vehicle. Kind of like the 4 door is now. Then again, people don't really buy Jeeps for practicality.

If I ever get the loot and pick my dream Jeep/beach cruiser it would have to be a fully restored Scrambler. I love the front end on all of the Jeeps from that era.

Saw a pretty original looking Scrambler in okay looking shape at the transmission place near my house yesterday. Almost stopped to take pictures... It was by no means in great looking shape, but it also didn't look like it had been beat up or modified.

no specific plans yet. after having driven it with the top and doors off I may need to replace the stero (or add an amp) as i can't hear a damn thing over the road noise :lol:

Does it have a sound bar on the roll bar? Most likely better speakers will do the trick.

it does have the sound bar. apparently there is a subwoofer under the center console too.

the stereo is an aftermarket pioneer. seems pretty nice but the volume just isn't there.

Check and see whats in there for speakers, probably an amp is the way to go. I had that sub to and iirc I read it is like a non existent after market size so it is tough to get a quality one.

Also wouldn't put too much money into stereo equipment or else it will be an easy target for thieves and you'll end up with cut tops. When I had the soft top on mine I would just leave it unlocked and with the windows down figuring it would save me a cut top.

Bring it out to Cabella's for NEJeep's Cruise Night on the 29th: http://forum.northeastjeep.org/index.php?topic=26250.msg205415#msg205415

Probably be about 50ish Jeeps there of all builds, and you can score it on the RTI ramp.

the pioneer in it now has the removable face plate option. but like you, i've just been leaving the car unlocked.

I don't think there are many "legal" places left. There are some clubs that do off roading. I think I deleted the links for them, but will check when I'm on my laptop later
