1985 Jeep Cj8 Cj-8 Scrambler Renegade Sl-r Sport on 2040-cars
Ambler, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Here is a beautiful 1985 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler Renegade SL-R Sport. A very rare vehicle with the factory working tachometer and clock. Full Laredo interior with Laredo door panels and seats (great condition with no rips or torn stitching). Tilt steering wheel. Power steering and brakes. Renegade decals on body and hood. Factory chrome Laredo wheels (nice shape) and factory chrome Laredo front grille cover. Hard top in excellent shape with no cracks. The very reliable Jeep T-5 transmission with 5-Speed. 4WD works as it should. Previous owner owned vehicle for over 10 years. I purchased from him in 2013 and decided to sell to buy a 4 seater Jeep. This Scrambler has the original engine with 113K miles and an upgraded Weber carburator for better starting, idling, and gas mileage. Runs beautifully and drives straight with no shakes. Interior has a Tuffy Lock Box but I do have the original black center console. No Radio, but is wired up for one. All knobs on the dash work and all lights and gauges work well. Even has the original cigarette lighter. In addition, I also have the original wood side bed rails. They need to be completely redone, but at least I have them. Bridgestone All-Terrain T/A tires. Original light under the hood which works (See Pic). After market rear bumper with towing hitch, but I do have the original chrome Laredo bumperettes. Original swing-away spare tire carrier with chrome wheel and newer spare. Driver seat has some give in the frame which allows it to slightly recline. As you can see from the pics, the paint is beautiful but it does have some flaws with some rust bubbles in a few different spots. I've tried to detail the issues with pictures as best I could. Also, being an East Coast Jeep, the frame has had some issues with rust but it has been seal coated with undercoating and any issues have not gotten worse in my ownership. The same holds true with the paint. Nothing has gotten worse in my ownership. It does not have current PA inspection. This is not a perfect Jeep but looks absolutely amazing and is a very rare vehicle, especially in this condition for the East Coast. All pictures were taken before I even cleaned the Jeep so all chrome and paint will shine even more than they do in the pics. I am selling AS-IS so please, if you have an interest in it, please contact me in person to come see it and check it over for yourself. I highly advise doing so. I also have more pics or can take more pics if you need them. 1985 is the last year for the Scrambler (A few were badged as 1986s) and some will consider it to be the best year as well. Thanks for looking, good luck, and Happy New Year. Lee 610-322-8702.

Jeep Wrangler Dragon Edition coming to North America
Thu, 12 Sep 2013If 2012 was the year of the dragon in China, perhaps the US can claim 2014. After showing the Jeep Wrangler Dragon Design Concept at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, and apparently receiving "tremendously positive feedback" from Jeep enthusiasts across the globe, the automaker has decided to introduce a production version that will hit US showrooms this fall with a price of $36,095.
"The dragon symbolizes strength and power and is an aspirational character normally associated with royalty and good fortune," says Jeep, and that apparently equates to a blacked-out Wrangler Unlimited with bronze satin gloss highlights inside and out, along with big dragon decals that start on the hood and run down the fenders. There are 18-inch matte black wheels with a bronze outer edges, and a dragon-emblazoned spare tire cover completes the look.
We suggest you peruse the high-res image gallery above to see all the black and bronze detailing yourself, and make special note of the interior. In related news, all 2014 Jeep Wrangler models get an optional Trail Kit and clear park lamps to replace the previous amber units. New colors include Amp'd, Anvil, Copperhead, Flame Red, Granite Crystal and Hydro Blue (Freedom edition only), which join carryover colors Billet Silver, Bright White, Black and Dune.
Jeep Liberty replacement takes shape
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Now that the Liberty has left us for greener pastures, it's time to start looking into the future of the midsize Jeep model. The next all-new vehicle for the off-road brand will be the SUV you see here, effectively replacing the Liberty, and not necessarily carrying on with that name.
From the sides, the prototype you see here sort of looks like a miniature version of the handsome Grand Cherokee, albeit with a bit more in the way of body sculpting. Up front, the seven-slat grille will be front and center, with completely revised headlamp designs that are reportedly angular and sweep well into the front fenders (you can sort of see what we're talking about in the side profile). That doesn't sound very Jeep-like, but we'll reserve judgment until we, you know, see the thing.
The bigger question with the Liberty replacement will be whether or not its off-road chops will be up to snuff. After all, the two previous generations of Liberty models were body-on-frame traditional SUVs, whereas this new Jeep rides on a larger version of the Dodge Dart platform.
Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
