Hello, 

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.

    Next Jeep Wrangler to get hybrid option?

    Wed, Jan 21 2015

    This may the year a Jeep hybrid is officially announced. Really. The Chrysler division may finally be making plans for its first gas-electric powertrain to help boost the group's fuel economy, says UK's Auto Express, citing Mike Manley, CEO of FCA's Jeep division. The guinea pig of sorts may be the Wrangler, which moved almost a quarter-million units in the US last year. The Wrangler could get a hybrid drivetrain by the 2017 model year, as Jeep executives look to maintain the model's feel and torque while boosting its fuel economy. The Wrangler gets a pretty paltry 18 miles per gallon combined out of its six-cylinder mill, so the bar's set pretty low. Of course, we've heard this talk before. In late 2013, Chrysler Asia-Pacific product planning manager Steve Bartoli told Australia's Drive that a Jeep hybrid was pretty much inevitable, though not much has been mentioned since. FCA could use all the help it can get in the fuel economy department. The group brought up the rear among automakers when it came to fuel efficiency, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in its EPA Trends report released last October. The FCA models combined for a 21.1 miles per gallon average for the 2014 model year, compared to the 24.2 mpg overall industry average. The group's only electric vehicle in the US is the low-volume Fiat 500e, though the company may start selling a plug-in hybrid version of its Chrysler Town & Country by the end of the year.

    FCA fibbed on sales according to internal report

    Mon, Jul 25 2016

    Following last week's news that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is under investigation by the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly fudging sales figures, a new report in Automotive News says an internal investigation at FCA uncovered misreported sales. According to the AN story, 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles from various FCA brands were reported sold by dealers, but no customers existed for those cars. FCA sales chief Reid Bigland has already put a stop to the practice. One potential reason for the practice was to maintain the company's month-to-month sales increase streak, currently at 75 months. In April, FCA added a lengthy disclaimer to its sales announcements: "FCA US reported vehicle sales represent sales of its vehicles to retail and fleet customers, as well as limited deliveries of vehicles to its officers, directors, employees and retirees. Sales from dealers to customers are reported to FCA US by dealers as sales are made on an ongoing basis through a new vehicle delivery reporting system that then compiles the reported data as of the end of each month. "Sales through dealers do not necessarily correspond to reported revenues, which are based on the sale and delivery of vehicles to the dealers. In certain limited circumstances where sales are made directly by FCA US, such sales are reported through its management reporting system." FCA did not provide comment to Automotive News.

    Stepping on the Cherokee's toes | 2017 Jeep Compass First Drive

    Fri, Feb 24 2017

    The only thing the 2017 Jeep Compass has in common with the model it replaces is its nameplate. And, considering that the old Compass was never competitive in the hotly contested compact crossover segment, that's a very good thing. Even better, after spending a solid day driving the reborn Compass over the rivers, through the woods, and everywhere in between, we're more than happy to forget the ill-conceived first-gen Compass entirely. Put simply, to say that the new Compass is better than the old one is an understatement of Rubicon-size proportions. Whereas the old Compass was saddled with Chrysler's old MK platform (a crossover-spec version of the unloved Dodge Caliber chassis), the 2017 Compass shares its basic underpinnings with the smaller Jeep Renegade, with the main difference being a 2.6-inch wheelbase stretch. That doesn't sound like a lot, but in person the Compass feels much larger than the Renegade, partly because its bodywork bulges out in a more muscular way than its more playfully styled, smaller sibling. "Mini Grand Cherokee" is a phrase that's been bandied about quite a bit, but only because it's true. The most notable styling flourish of the Compass is the D-pillar that's shaped sort of like a shark's dorsal fin. We think it's pretty cool from the outside, but it results in a huge expanse of plastic interior molding with tiny little windows barely able to let in any light. If we were buying a Compass, we'd definitely want the big panoramic sunroof to keep the cabin feeling open and airy. An optional gloss-black-painted roof makes those rear pillars stand out even more. There's a familial resemblance between the Renegade, Compass, and Cherokee inside, due in part to the overall curvature of the dash and the location of the air vents. Directly in front of the driver are two clear gauges, which flank a digital cluster that, depending on trim level, is available in either 3.5-inch or 7.0-inch sizes. The Compass is clean and tidy inside, and while FCA's Uconnect system – available with 7.0- and 8.4-inch center screens – is getting a bit old, it still works well and offers all the infotainment options buyers expect in 2017, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. We're also pleased to see Jeep stick with round dials for radio volume and tuning, and simple switches for climate control settings in the center stack. There's an unexpectedly meaty steering wheel for the driver to grab hold of.
