Check out Ron’s LS powered Jeep Scrambler!
We have been working with Ron on his CJ-8 Scrambler for years. This Jeep has it all! Not only that, he has it out on the trails just about every weekend! At 76 years old, Ron is not afraid to hit the Rubicon or Fordyce and show the kids how it’s done! This Jeep is a full sleeper!
The front axle is a Chevy Dana 60 that WFO narrowed 4.5” on the long side, to reach 65” wide. It has Chromoly axles, 35 spline shafts, and an ARB locker. The rear axle is a cab and chassis 14 bolt at 63.5” wide with an ARB locker as well. The jeep has a Gen 3, 5.3 LS engine, mated to an NV4500 5 speed, Klune-V underdrive, and a Dana 300 transfer case with twin sticks and 4:1 gears. The crawl ratios available are 362:1, 133:1, and 90:1 in granny low! It sits on 1.5” Rubicon Express Spring over Wrangler springs with a WFO Shackle reversal, WFO frame plates and shock towers, and a WFO rear torque arm. It has WFO Kingpin Double high-steer arms, PSC Hydro assist steering, Hydroboost brakes, York on-board air compressor and an ARB air compressor, WFO built full roll cage with built in stereo console, frame tie-ins, and WFO speaker cans. Ron runs 37” Good Year MTR’s on Raceline beadlock wheels. With the full skid pate and belly pan and 1350 driveines, this Jeep is a beast! Don’t let the faded paint fool you!
