Model History

Designer and Inspiration:

The Jeep Scrambler was designed by Larry Wood. It is based on the Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler, a longer-wheelbase version of the CJ-7 that featured a small pickup truck bed.

Historical Context and Production Years:

This casting debuted in 1983. Model 4370 is from the "Real Riders" series of that same year.

Unique Aspects:

The casting accurately portrays the longer frame and pickup bed that differentiates the Scrambler from the CJ-7. The 1983 Real Riders release came in metalflake blue with yellow and orange graphics. It featured knobby rubber Real Riders tires on gray hubs, and often had a plastic motorcycle accessory in the back.

Similar Castings:

It is a direct counterpart to the "Jeep CJ-7" casting, representing a different body style of the same vehicle family.

Variations and Special Editions:

The mainline version released in 1983 was red. The Real Riders version is the premium edition for that year.
