*no Reserve* Rust-free Cj8 Scrambler - V8 - New Paint - Runs Excellent on 2040-cars
Lawrence, Kansas, United States
Yes, there are really 385 miles on this restoration. This one is a steal at the opening bid price. Parts alone far exceeded the starting bid. The Scrambler has a rebuilt 304 V8 engine, with a fresh carb and runs great. There are absolutely no known drivetrain flaws. The Scrambler runs down the highway well, even with the lift and massive, 35-inch Super Swampers. The drivetrain is tight and responsive, and there are no leaks or drips. It has been professionally built and adult owned. It has never spent the night outside.
The Scrambler has a new, professional, 6 mil paint job. It has a 100% rust free, clean steel body, and has never been off-road or abused. My painter claims he’s never seen anything like it.
The Scrambler has a rebuilt Dana 300 transfer case. The entire drivetrain, suspension, body, interior, and electrical have been gone through and updated. The only known defect is an intermittent gas gauge. All of the gauges and sending units are new.
Drivetrain Small block V8, 304 CID: rebuilt, less than 1000 miles Headers Fresh Holley carburetor T-15, heavy duty, 3-speed transmission; generally considered the heaviest-duty 3-speed transmission ever manufactured: rebuilt, less than 1000 miles Dana 300 transfer case: widely considered the best transfer case ever manufactured; rebuilt, less than 1000 miles Dana 44 (upgraded) rear axle, replacing the standard Model 20 rear end Dana 30 front end New front disc brakes; stops great
Body 100% rust-free body New neoprene body grommits Rock solid frame Fold-down windshield (which I’ve never had down) Rugged Ridge double front bumper Custom, super heavy duty rear bumper Bushwacker fender flares
Paint This is a true, 6-mil, three-stage professional paint job. Needless to say, this isn’t typically what you find on a classic jeep. The first coat is Deltron epoxy primer; if you know your paint, you know that this is as good as it gets. No exterior surface has less than two coats of PPG 4273 Radiant Fire Red. Everything was wet sanded and buffed appropriately.
Wheels and tires 35-inch Super Swamper tires Warn locking hubs
Interior High-back, BesTop Aqua front seats, in very good condition Completely Linx’d interior All new gauges All new sending units Locking Tuffy center console, set up for concealed stereo, in very good condition New heater core and defroster unit Billet aluminum knobs

Airbag fault on 1M recalled Jeeps getting second look from NHTSA [UPDATE]
Mon, 02 Jun 2014UPDATE: Here is the statement we received from Chrysler regarding NHTSA's query: "Chrysler Group LLC advised the National Highway Traffic Administration of the six reports and, in accordance with the Company's long-standing practice, is cooperating fully with the resulting investigation. Customer safety is paramount at Chrysler Group. Customers who are concerned may call 1-800-853-1403."
It appears that Jeep's repairs for nearly one million Grand Cherokees from 2002-2004 and Liberty models from 2002-2003 might not be over yet. The vehicles were first recalled in November 2012 because the front airbags could suddenly deploy without being in an accident. Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a recall query into them because of reports of inadvertent activation on some already corrected vehicles.
The original problem affected over 919,000 vehicles worldwide, including 744,822 in the US, and was caused by a degrading circuit in the wires that control the airbags. In some cases the airbag warning light would come on just before the premature activation, but in other cases it would just happen. The automaker installed an "in-line jumper harness with an integrated electrical filter" meant to eliminate the power spikes believed to be the cause.
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee pricing leaks out
Thu, 24 Jan 2013With our deep dive and auto show coverage of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee revealed at the Detroit Auto Show, we brought you as much information as Chrysler would allow us to, but one thing we're still left in the dark about was the pricing. It would seem that Jeep Garage might have the answer for that. The Jeep enthusiast forum claims to have gotten its hands on the ordering and pricing breakdown for the updated Grand Cherokee, and while a Jeep representative has yet to get back to us as to the validity of the site's claim, these preliminary numbers look pretty kosher to us.
In base form, the two-wheel-drive Laredo will reportedly start at $28,795, which is a $1,100 increase over the 2013 model year, and the new Grand Cherokee Summit trim level starts at $47,995 for 4x2 models and $50,995 for the 4x4. Waiting for the new diesel engine? The torquey new 3.0-liter oil-burner will be a $4,500 option on Limited, Overland and Summit 4x4 models, but 4x2 pricing (and availability) are not known. As for the range-topping Grand Cherokee SRT (no longer called the SRT8), this added performance could run you an extra $2,700 with a new starting price of $62,995. More importantly, loaded to the gills with all available options, the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT will top out at around $72,400 - or around $6,000 more than a fully loaded 2013 GC SRT8.
We'll let you know if the gang over at Jeep get back to us with any confirmation, but until then, head over to Jeep Garage to see the pricing details it has listed.
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT gets power increase, minor tweaks for 2015
Tue, 02 Sep 2014As a brand within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, SRT may have an uncertain future, but it's pumping out some seriously mean machines anyway. The supercharged Hellcat V8 may be gobbling up most of the headlines with its 707 horsepower, but even the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting some small updates for the 2015 model year.
Most importantly for many enthusiasts, the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting a slight power bump. Don't expect the 700+ hp from the Hellcat, but this SUV sees a modest 5-hp and 5-pound-feet of torque improvement to bring output to 475 hp and 470 lb-ft for its 6.4-liter V8 with an eight-speed automatic. The minor change doesn't change the sprint to 60 miles per hour, clocking in at the same 4.8 seconds, or the tow rating at 7,200 pounds. Still, more grunt is never a bad idea.
Another new addition is the Active Noise Canceling system as a standard feature for this powerful SUV. It adds four microphones around the vehicle and uses the stereo system to nullify extraneous sound. However, Jeep claims that the meaty exhaust note from the V8 still gets through into the cabin for driver enjoyment.
