the rear wheel openings are more square, and i can't confirm it, but i think a few scramblers had the dana 44..

it's sort of still a cj thingy....see it at http://www.jeepgod.net

 

No moreso than the other CJ's on the D44 rear. The roll bar is 3" and longer, the aforementioned items, rear fender flares (they're expensive). I think that's it. Otherwise they're a "normal" CJ, depending on year. Why do you ask?

hey jeepn, the only reason i said that is cause the dana 44 under my 350 powered jeep came from a scrambler...and i have seen 2 other scramblers with the 44.....seems like a lot for as many scramblers as you see..but it could be just i got lucky, or people wanted"all the best" when buying a scrambler more often.......maybe more scramblers get built..maybe it's time for bed.....

A couple more minor things...Brake/fuel lines, wiring harness, and e-brake cable/(s). That about does it. Very similar when it comes to parts.

What about re-sale value?..my experience, Much Higher than CJ7's.

Probably because not many were produced. Something like 28,000 were produced in the limited span of years. And they're the easiest to build, with the long wheelbase, you can throw just about any drive train under it and not have to worry about pinion angles. Heck, with my setup, my driveshafts are still 32" and 33" long. They still rust out, mine is a prime example. If I had a CJ-7, I'd just go look for another tub, they're fairly common. But since it's not, I'm rebuilding mine, and with enough steel to make a battleship, and it'll be just as tough. I doubt I would have gone to this extreme with any other CJ.

definately better resale value than a 7. any anyone who has real interest in scramblers will take it to the max. They take any mod, especially drivetrains, and they just look damn good and catch eyes wherever they go. Mine used to be the talk of the town before i left Newport and years later people still ask me and reminesce about the scrambler days...

I was wondering because I found a guy who has a Scrambler that he might trade me for my CJ-7. I he sells it to me outright I will probably move lots of parts from my CJ to the Scrambler and then sell my CJ.

I wouldn't trade my Scrambler for the world, I wanted one ever since they came out in 81 (my Junior Year in HS, man I am feeling old). I think Scramblers are some what of an aquired taste, people either really like them or don't really care for them. My tail may drag but it its a small price to pay. I say if you have the chance to get a Scrambler for a good price jump on it, there aren't too many left. Just my 2 cents......
