I'm selling my 1983 Jeep CJ8 scrambler. If you know anything about jeeps you know the scramblers are rare and highly desirable. I hate to sell it but we have another baby on the way so its time to let it go. There is no way I will get all the money I've put in it back out of it but that's how these project go. Let me say first I will NOT trade unless it's for a 2012-14 Honda odyssey minivan with less than 30k miles on it with power doors and leather seats. I thought I would keep the jeep forever but selling it is the right thing to do so I have to let it go. We have put over 20k in this jeep over the years and that's not even including the original purchase price of the jeep or all the labor. Before I dumped all my time and money into it was already very clean. I looked at a bunch of scramblers before I bought this one. It wasn't rusted out or rotted the floors; inerfenders and whole tub was in great shape and very solid. When I had it painted they removed the little rust that was there and we replaced both front fenders with steel replacements and put on a new windshield frame. I spend 6k on the paint and body work alone it was done the right way so this jeep will look great for years to come. Here are the details on the jeep: I put in a huge AMC 360 5.9 liter motor with a hot cam in it. It has tons of torque and runs great! It starts up every time on the first crank and idles smooth. It has a 4 speed Borg-Warner T18 heavy duty transmission and Dana Spicer Model 300 Transfer Case. The foundation of the restoration was a brand new "Throttle Down Kustoms" Steel Frame so it has zero rust! -- Google it they are a great frame! When we Got the new frame we replaced all the body mounts, bushings and a ton of other parts. It has a Dana 44 front axle with warn hubs from a Jeep Waggoner. A Dana 60 from a 1ton Dodge with a locker in the rear. Both axles were shortened to fit under the jeep and matching widths. The axles have matching 4.56 gears in both with all fresh parts and one piece chromoly axles with 5x5.5 bolt pattern. Along with WARN hubs. It also has fresh breaks all the way around. It has 37 inch Goodyear Mud Terrains tires that have less than 5000 miles with matching spare on 15" steel wheels. It has a 4.5 in Rubicon express springs over axle lift. It has a brand new best top full soft top. It has a full custom roll cage. Its 2 separate pieces that bolt in so if you want the truck look its easy to take out. Rhino lined the interior and put in best top thermal seats. Up graded headlights along with Procom spots on the front bumper. Ruged Ridge ABS 6in Fender flares Off road Rampage TJ bumper with smittybilt conversion brackets. Poison Spider rockers Poison Spider rear bumper and tire swing. I have 2 sets of hard doors. One set is in perfect shape and one set is a little rough I was going to make half doors. It will come with both. This Jeep is a BEAST on or off road. It will crawl over anything you point it at but will also cruise around town all day. That being said it is a highly modified 30 year old jeep so know what your getting into. I would say this jeep is 85% from being perfect but all the big stuff is done. If your looking for a good looking fun jeep that your not scared to tinker with or maybe a good father son jeep this would be perfect. I have a clean blue Texas title in my name. CJ7, Wrangler, Monster, lifted, Offroad, off road, Hummer, Unimog, Mechanic Special, sell for more. cj, cj5, cj6, willis, willy, williys, yj, tj, jk, |

2015 Jeep Cherokee finds a bit more fuel mileage thanks to stop/start and aero tweaks
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Just a year after it burst onto the scene, Jeep has already made a pretty substantial addition to its V6-powered Cherokee, which has proven to be an extremely popular seller so far for the brand, adding a new stop-start system for the midsize, off-road-ready CUV.
The addition of stop-start included a few aerodynamic tweaks to the Cherokee's polarizing body, resulting in a wallet-pleasing increase in fuel economy. According to the EPA, the front-drive, V6-powered Jeep will now return 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, up from 19 city and 28 highway. Four-wheel-drive, V6-powered Cherokees, meanwhile, will now return 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, up from 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg.
With 271 horsepower, 239 pound-feet of torque and these newly enhanced figures, it's refreshing to see a larger, naturally aspirated engine that is still able to take the fight to today's crop of small-displacement, turbocharged four-cylinders.
This American Life spends a week selling Jeeps in Long Island
Thu, 19 Dec 2013So you think you know car dealers? Well, maybe you do, but This American Life spent a month at Town and Country Jeep Chrysler Doge Ram in Long Island to give us a behind-the-scenes look (or listen, since it's a radio program) at what it's like to be a car dealer.
Yes, there's a lot of swearing in thick New York accents, frustration, confusion, and generally it's a madhouse at the dealership. But that's understandable when the sales staff has to sell 129 vehicles in October in order to get an $85,000 manufacturer bonus - with several other Jeep dealerships within a 10-mile radius.
The episode, 129 Cars, is worth a listen, but make sure you have 71 minutes to spare if you want to get through it in one sitting. Head here for the unedited version or here for the bleeped version (which is 58 minutes long).
What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."
