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.

Airbag fault on 1M recalled Jeeps getting second look from NHTSA [UPDATE]

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

UPDATE: 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.

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals

Sun, Mar 3 2024

EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment.  But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.
