What resulted is the Jeep you see here, and though it's been done for a few years now, we've been a bit wary of showing it to you, because you'll most likely love it. As such he thought back through all the best Jeeps he had ever seen during his time at 4-Wheel & Off-Road and decided to approach the owner/builder of a favorite one and ask him to take over the buildup. Most people would kill for such a prestigious position, but David has found that it means less time to actually wrench on his own rides (some 30 different dilapidated musclecars, trucks, hot rods, and Jeeps parked in various storage facilities and garages around Los Angeles), since he is constantly dealing with bureaucratic red tape of running multiple magazines. But then the winds of change blew through the halls of this publishing company and David was reassigned to the likes of Car Craft magazine before being drug up the corporate ladder to his current office as the head cheese Editorial Director at Hot Rod, Hot Rod Deluxe, Car Craft, Popular Hot Rodding, Engine Masters, Chevy High Performance, 5.0 Mustang, and Musclecar Review. So over a few years he took his Scrambler and lopped off 12 inches in the rear end, stuffed a V-8 under the hood, and gave it gobs of gearing. Plus the long tailend of the tub, which got caught when turning tightly off road, could easily be fixed. David had seen some cool Scramblers on the trails and decided that their cheap prices and 103-inch wheelbase were a benefit to those looking for a great wheeling Jeep.
