Selling my 1983 Jeep Scrambler CJ-8 in literally perfect condition. It has been undergoing a frame-off restoration for the last 7 years with the previous owners that I bought it from right down to the nuts and bolts. I bought it from them and finished it in Austin with my company, Vintage Innovations, and Jeep Masters. Everything on this is new or like new. Has everything that you love about these old Scramblers, and none of what you hate. The partition in the front of the bed has been removed in favor of the entire cab being open, which makes it feel like a very long CJ-7. The original gauges were all replaced with an aftermarket gauge cluster to improve accuracy, and the tall hard doors were traded for the more recent TJ doors. The soft top is fantastic, and easily flips back in seconds. She has a 3-inch suspension lift which I think makes it look way better with the length of these, and brand new BF Goodrich 33x12.50's all the way around. There are only 550 miles on this since the restoration was completed, she hasn't even had her first oil change yet.
You will literally need rotator cuff surgery from all the high-5's you'll be getting in this thing. The response to it is a lot of fun, Jeep fans go nuts when they see it. It is, for all intents and purposes, the equivalent of a "new" Jeep, but WAY cooler because its a classic...and less than 1/2 the price of the new Rubicons.
I buy cars as a hobby and sell them, this Jeep has been an awesome project and I am really on the fence about selling it. I have a number that I will let it go for, otherwise I'll just keep it.
The mechanical details: fresh crate 258 straight 6 with 4-barrel carburetor, not even broken in yet. Behind that is a new Jeep 4-speed manual trans. Front manual lock-outs from Warn, front and back bumpers from TKH fabrication. Back bumper holds a full-size spare with matching wheel, and high-lift jack.
Interior is awesome, complete with bucket seats from Black Mountain with matching Black Mountain removable back seat. Front cab has black carpet, rear bed is freshly painted with almost zero scratches (my dog rides in it when I take him to the park, so there may be a small one somewhere). Paint is a 9 out of 10, there are a few very small chips that were a product of the restoration but it looks fantastic. This Jeep is ready to be a daily driver, or a weekend warrior. I have barely even had time to enjoy it after we recently acquired a new tour bus project we just started in the shop, and my office is pretty pissed at me for putting this up for sale (they all love it too).
This is hands down one of the nicest Scramblers out there, and owning it is going to be a LOT of fun for someone. I have bought and sold over 45 cars, this one is one of my favorites. There just isn't that many of these out there, and this one is the cleanest one you will find.
What I would do to this if I kept it:
I would delete the carburetor in favor of the Mopar fuel injection, it would get the horsepower up to 200 pretty consistently. While I wouldn't really wheel this thing hard if someone wanted to I would buy a winch on a receiver hitch to use for the fun spots, both the front and back bumpers have receivers. I am installing a factory Jeep steering wheel back in it and ditching the Grant, I'm not a huge fan of the Grant steering wheels. I had planned on getting a hard top for it as well, and having the back set up for sleeping and camping out of it since I like taking trips out in to national parks, etc all the time. Outside of that, the Jeep is exactly where I wanted it to end up. It will be handed off looking like a new car, she's in moth balls at my warehouse where I store all of my classic vehicles. I am taking her out today for a little tan maintenance before I let her go. :)

Feel free to message me with any specific questions or photo requests, I will try to get as many pics as possible up today to make sure you can see just how nice this is.

Car dealership in East Texas destroyed by tornado

Tue, May 2 2017

Few things are as fundamentally and unconditionally destructive as a tornado. These cataclysmic phenomena pass through towns, leaving nothing in their wake but ruin and despair. According to an NBC affiliate in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, a car dealership in nearby Canton was hit by a tornado Saturday night. No employees were hurt. Four other people in the area weren't so lucky. Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Canton's new showroom and service center were pounded by the storm, leaving dozens of cars in various states of ruin. Some merely lost windows, while others were flipped and left on their sides or roofs. Photos show piles of cars stacked up like Hot Wheels dumped on the ground. According to a statement from the National Weather Service, winds reached speeds of up to 140 mph. Two other tornadoes were reported in the region. The area has been declared a disaster zone and first responders from up to 100 miles away have swarmed in to help out those in need. According to Reuters, the storms Saturday killed 11 people nationwide.

Finding surfing spots in the UK is tough work, even in a Jeep

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

You truly have to love surfing to practice the sport in the United Kingdom. The area isn't exactly teeming with warm beaches full of sunbathers, and absolutely no easy spots to find big waves. To be a UK surfer, you need to be a fearless adventurer, not to mention quite lucky. And driving a Jeep might help, too.
Surfers Oli Adams and Micah Lester are traveling around the British Isles in a Jeep Wrangler Overland trying to find the best surf spots out there. These guys don't fit the laid-back surfer stereotype, but that's because finding waves in the UK is hard work. They say that the waves at some of these spots only exist for about three hours every year when the current and winds are just right.
To find these surf spots, the Jeep's offroad capabilities are paramount. In some areas, as you'll see in the video, there isn't even a beach, just jagged rocks. It would be like the movie Endless Summer, that is, if it could start snowing at any moment. These guys are clearly dedicated to their sport.

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
