Irvington, Alabama, United States
|
1982 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler, this truck underwent a complete frame off restoration just under 5 years ago, and has since been sitting on a private show room amongst some of the rarest collector cars in the world. The only time it was ever out is when it was driven to shows, where it always took first place in its class and driven back. The truck was completely taken down and brought back up, with everything on the truck either being bought new and installed or having been redone. The quality of the restoration sure shows when you look at the truck, the truck has taken several first places trophy's and best of shows these past few years. The truck is only showing 3500 miles since being completed. During the restoration the underside, bed area, and inside of the truck was all rhino lined to the silver to match the interior. The Top and roll bar has been painted white to offset the beautiful custom paint job. All of the chrome was replaced with new on the outside. Like I said no expense spared on the build of the truck. The interior of the truck features custom seats with center console. The door panels are as well custom with brushed aluminum inserts and solid aluminum poll handles. The dash is done in brushed aluminum, with all new Stewart warner gauges. The truck features a tilt steering column. The truck is a standard 5 speed, and their is a custom brushed aluminum pieces that surrounds the shifter and 4x4 shifter on the floor to add for a nice touch. Under the hood, the engine bay is painted just as the truck to add for a nice touch. The power for the truck comes from a aluminum head LT1 fuel injected motor. The motor was completely redone, and the miles that are showing on the truck is just what the motor has on it. The truck has headman headers that are ceramic coated, and dual flow master exhaust system with chrome tips. The truck also features power Disk brakes, with assisted steering setup. The truck rides on Mickey Thompson Chrome wheels with 32x11.50x15 All Terrain tires. The truck rides and drives amazing, and gets great gas mileage going down the road. The truck is 4x4, it still retains all of its original axles and all, all of which have been completely gone through and redone. Everything on the truck works. Truck fires right up and is ready to hit the road. You can fly in and drive home today. The truck is for sale locally and is subject to be taken off Ebay. The truck is also sold as is with no warranty. A 25% deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end and the balance within 7 more when the truck is to be picked up or arrangements are made for the truck to be shipped. If you have any questions about the truck please fill free to ask and I will gladly answer them to the best of my ability . Thanks and God bless, Charlie 251-751-7530 |

Jeep Wrangler Polar Edition coming to America
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Jeep originally took the wraps off its Polar Edition Wrangler at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and at the time, we figured this would be a Europe-only affair. (Perfectly fine, since we US customers haven't exactly been lacking special edition Wrangler models over the years.) But now, and as Jeep says, just in time for winter, the automaker has announced that the ice cold Wrangler will be hitting North American showrooms in November.
Based on the Wrangler Sahara model, the Polar Edition can be had in either two- or four-door body styles, with a unique Hydro Blue paint job as the featured color. (Buyers can also opt for less-special Billet Silver and Bright White hues.) Other exterior enhancements include a body-colored hardtop, 18-inch gloss black wheels, the Powerdome (power bulge) hood, and unique decals all around the body.
But the Polar Edition isn't just about some paint and stickers. Jeep has fitted this Wrangler with a Dana 30 front axle and Dan 44 rear axle, as well as the Trac-Lok anti-spin electronic rear differential. Like all US-spec Wranglers, the Polar Edition uses Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, producing 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both a six-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmission are available.
100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration
Thu, 29 May 2014It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
Jeep hiring 1,000 part-time workers in Toledo on Wrangler, Cherokee demand
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The new Jeep Cherokee has been quite a success for Chrysler, but its factory workers are getting tired. The automaker has agreed to hire up to 1,000 part-time, temporary employees at its Toledo Assembly Complex where the CUV and Wrangler are built. It will allow the company to keep Jeep production moving, while giving laborers a break.
According to plant manager Chuck Padden in the Toledo Blade, full-time workers are regularly taking on 60 hours a week, and it's beginning to wear on them. "To get them more time off is important to us, to make sure they're refreshed, and can work safely," said Padden.
Chrysler has already hired 380 temporary, part-time workers for the plant, and 50 have been converted to full-time employees. The company is in the process of interviewing the rest of the new hires now and plans to have all 1,000 in place by the summer. They will work between 10 and 30 hours a week mostly on weekends for $15.78 per hour with limited benefits. The temporary positions will last "as long as demand continues for the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Cherokee," said Jodi Tinson, Chrysler spokesperson for manufacturing and labor communications, to Autoblog in an email.
