How did you think the Scrambler handled going off-road?

[@bryduhbikeguy]

It looked like it was doing Great.Thanks for taking us along.

[@Mr.XJ.96]

Come to Butler PA the Birth place of the Jeep find a old Jeep get it going and Roadkill it.

Absolute entertainment. I want to see more of this scrambler.

To bad Dirt Everyday was cancelled by Motor Trend 😢

[@TroutNTrees]

I know it was my favorite show on mt

[@zakhanson5720]

And they claimed to be better than discovery, they obviously listen to the fans just as well…

[@wirebrush]

I love that Jeep so much! My first Jeep was an 81 Scrambler I bought for $2500 off a car lot in Grass Valley. I wanted to drive the Rubicon so bad. I now have a CJ-7 that is built nearly identically to your Scrambler, but in much worse condition. I'd love to completely rebuild it and stretch the wheelbase and tub but keep it low tech with leaf springs and carburetor.

[@pauldilorenzo5530]

That rig is really put together well David good job

[@marlene1453]

It's great seeing Cotton and Dave again.

[@TheEZGZ]

Love that your keeping it real with admission of neglect and then revitalizing. I want to see how far the Zip tie moved after all that

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Always get a kick out of leaf spring rigs killing it. Leaf springs can work very well.

[@PaulKaiser42]

That scrambler is awesome and gets it done!!

[@77davis771]

More scrambler content needed . Love the jeep...

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT BUILD, GREAT VIDEO, AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

[@schwazman1]

I remember seeing this thing over the years in Peterson's and various other rags. Totally old school build, with old school tech, and it still works just fine.

[@24bics]

Didn't Rick Pewe start the whole off road sandal thing? 🤔 Edit: Still have the magazine this Scrambler debuted in. Glad to see you resurrecting it. Not repainting my chalky OD square body though. I like the patina. 😁

[@marcosierra1822]

Get all the OG Petersen guys together and film something with this rig and Pewe’s CJ!! There are a lot of us that love old school rigs like this!

[@forestlawrencegrading9154]

[@campervanbug7658]

I remember the zip tie trick from one of the 4x4 mags growing up 😅

[@prauwnsauce]

Every time I look at my project I think “it’s okay, I can take 20 years”

[@smaggies]

Great jeep cruise, I do miss an old test drive with I think a Jeep in South East Arizona, that trip was A place I would to see in person....... :)

[@sherriemoon703]

It amazes me they will show this but got rid of the “dirt everyday“ show.

[@2112kustoms.]

The tires feel good, yeah. They're new, treps. Not the old swampers

[@SETexasCustoms]

Came here looking for this comment 😂

[@ryanbean3548]

It’s crazy how different cameras change the appearance on screen of the Jeeps color

[@PullStartStables]

Awesome footage! I think some of the story got funky, Chapelle was driving it down the road on the way to Moab when Cotton and Frieberger started the trip 🤣

[@MrMorepower71]

Zip ties work great for adjusting motorcycle travel also.

[@loganbloom6191]

hey roadkill crew i was thinking that it would be an awesome ide if you bought a 1927 ford truck and made an off roader or drag racer out of it. and i have a question for all of you. why haven't you gotten more of your roadkill cars as hot wheel toys yet and got one of you cars into a movie yet?

[@jamesmeredith381]

Yukon gears and lockers! I remember a 6 wheel drive jeep back in the 80s named the Armadillo! I can't remember if it was jeep magazine or dirt and off road

[@emilianocruz11]

We need the full episode of the freiburger scrambler on moab Utah in KZbin

[@lodzalater8169]

I need the whole channel back on KZbin. The prioritise profit over anything 📈 , imagine how many Youth around the world they could of inspired by now , low iq management at motor trend 🤔

[@DaddyJeepGarage]

I wondered how it magically got more green the last time we saw the CJ

[@deepbludude4697]

Sweet! im working a FJ62 landcruiser to do about the same, its close now!

[@jerrydlaughrin2880]

Water crossings, friendly rewinder go slow go slow save yourself a bunch of headaches in the end. End of discussion on that one. I had an m38j Willys jeep for about 20 years with an F head engine in it put that thing in four-wheel-drive low range first gear. It would crawl up just about anything. It was sure slow going, but it would go was very fast down the road in high gear and highway range, but it was sure fun to drive out in the desert Did pretty good in the sand dunes out at Glamis and out in the chocolate mountains to lotta fun back in the day 70s and 80s and 90s even with my blazer my 1977 blazer lotta fun but water crossings you go slow so you don’t drown the engine out and keep track of the water level number one rule for me when crossing water along with how fast the water is running as well.

[@EliezerMessias]

Show.. sempre acompanhando aqui do Brasil...

[@johnlombardi1021]

how graceful were you at the first part of this video lol

I want a CJ7 or CJ8 just like that. Great drivetrain.

Dave you should come to Butler find a Jeep roadkill it.....Wait till the Heritage Jeep fest next June find a Jeep for sale their. The Heritage Jeep fest holds the record for the world's largest Jeep Parade and Gathering.

I've been waiting to see this episode on KZbin to actually see what happened to Dave's butter jeep .I've only hydro-locked one vehicle a 02 s10 I had ,but there's 3 or 4 that's only God knows why they didn't 😂

[@jeremiahgoodman3931]

Love your scrambler it has all the perfect mods done to it and honestly trepadors are the best tires you can buy for all kinds of offroad there good in mud on rocks the Australians pit them at the top of the pedestal! Sorry Chapelle! I saw part of this on Chapelles channel! Did you try pulling the spark plugs blowing the water out and trying to start it or did it immediately bend valves or something?

[@robhamkens2060]

Why won’t you guys post newer episodes?

[@philbert006]

They release a constant barrage of new episodes for all the shows. Just not on KZbin. They want you to pay for their streaming service. They have to make money, magazines don't sell anymore. Roadkill is going to be filming at Finnegan's house this week. Dave and Steve will both be there. You won't see it on KZbin this year tho.
