Default WTB: Jeep Scrambler frame

Looking for a clean straight Scrambler frame, I have a complete new body and everything else I need for a scratch build. I'd like to aquire a frame and get the Jeep assembled in the next year as a wedding gift for my son.

If you have a clean frame please PM or post up pics, asking price and location. Will travel for the right deal.

NO!!....


Found a few but I could probably have a YJ frame modified cheaper.

An LJ is too short.. would also need modification.

The YJ frame is your best bet. iirc just need to change up the body mounts.

Your thinking of a CJ-7.. not a Scrambler. YJ frame would need to be cut into 3 sections and stretched..
