I bought this Scrambler two years ago from the land conservation company that I work for, so i have known this Jeep for over 20 years. It was used as a project supervisor's field vehicle on an average of 2 or 3 days a week. This Jeep originally came with a 4 cylinder. When the Conservancy bought it in 1991 from a local family the engine was upgraded with the factory new in the crate V6 it has today (The engine upgrade occurred at 39K on the odometer, so the overall milage on the chasis/body is 121K). The mechanic who did the installation still works with me today, he has kept all maintenance records since that time. When I bought the Jeep I painted it, removed the carpeting and coated the tub in Rhino liner. I installed the back seat with 3 seat belts, and generally just cleaned it up. I put new 30x9.5 trail diggers on it last fall, so there is still 90% meat on those tires. The Jeep starts every time and runs fantastic.  I am offering the jeep for sale because i'm moving/downsizing and loosing my garage space. The Jeep comes with a full Best Top soft top with doors (uninstalled, new in the box), two bikini tops, and two half doors.

All that good stuff said, here are the things that I haven't been able to fix or add:  there is a small 3 inch  crack in the right front fender by the headlight, it was my intention to replace the stock fenders with stainless aftermarkets. The speedometer needle bounces a little and doesn't hold steady, with that, the fuel gauge doesn't work and I think the sender is stuck in the tank. The dash board controls are needed, heater pull cable, blower control knob, act. see photos. The light pull switch knob is there and works fine. 
There is a leak in one of the steering line hoses where they attach to the power steering reservoir so i have had to add steering fluid about every 100 miles. Thats about all i can think of. i never bought new fender flares, but there are several styles out there and the holes are still there for the stock style that i removed when i painted it.  There is very little rust, there was some bondo on the right rear fender area that i discovered during painting, seemed minor. The Jeep has a really nice custom box hitch under the custom rear bumper. The spare tire is great, and mounted on the tail gate, so i don't use the gate, never have removed the bolts that hold it in the up position. 
Last but not least, I would like to do a cash sale. I do not have a pay pal account. I need good old american dollars at time of pick up. The Jeep will be in Wilmington, CA (Long Beach) so please do your homework if you intend to bid.  I would like to complete the sale within 3 days of the auction close. Please contact me with any questions, serious buyers only please!! This is a real deal CJ8, either you know what it is, or you don't! Thanks for your consideration.

What to see at the Detroit Auto Show 2023

Thu, Sep 14 2023

The 2023 North American Auto Show — also known as the Detroit Auto Show — is underway downtown. If you want to attend the public days of the show taking place September 16-24, hereÂ’s what you need to know about attending. But now that Autoblog has done our reconnaissance during the showÂ’s press days, we can tell you about the actual cars (and other things) you can see and experience. WhatÂ’s new? Ford The big new item from Ford is the 2024 F-150 pickup. You can check out the new trick tailgate, and see what the fuss is all about. The 2024 F-150 Raptor also debuted at the show, if you like high-power, off-roady full-size pickups. The show will also be a good opportunity to see the Mustang Dark Horse and Mustang Mach-E Rally up close and personal. Unfortunately, we only saw the wild 2025 Mustang GTD at an offsite event during press days, but it's quite possible Ford will roll it out for the public. Cadillac Cadillac revealed its refreshed 2025 CT5 at the Detroit show, and you can get a look at the revised front and the new tech-focused interior. Cadillac recently unveiled the all-electric 2025 Escalade IQ, so you can stop and see the most powerful Escalade ever while youÂ’re there. It wasnÂ’t on the floor during media days, but Cadillac told us theyÂ’d bring it for the public part of the show. Jeep Jeep unveiled its 2024 Gladiator at the show, and you can check out the new interior and trim levels in person at the Jeep stand. Jeep also has an indoor track set up for ride-alongs. If you havenÂ’t had the chance to see the refreshed 2024 Wrangler yet, you can see that, too, along with examples from the rest of the Jeep lineup, along with its Stellantis sibling, Ram. GMC GMC showed off the new, larger 2024 Acadia SUV for the Detroit Auto Show. ItÂ’s bigger than before, but does more to differentiate itself from its Chevy cousin, the Traverse. GMC also has its Sierra EV on display if youÂ’re interested in catching that in person. What else to see A number of automakers have large displays at the show with many of their models represented. In addition to those who debuted something new at the show, Buick, Chevrolet (check out the Silverado, Blazer and Equinox EVs, as well as the Corvette E-Ray), Lincoln with the new Nautilus, Toyota (get a look at the new Tacoma), Volkswagen, Honda, Kia, Hyundai, Mini, Volkswagen, Honda, Chrysler (the Airflow concept is there), Fiat, Ram and Dodge (see the Charger Daytona SRT concept) all have a sizable presence.

Stellantis will give its brands 10 years to prove they deserve to live

Thu, May 13 2021

Formed by the merger of PSA Peugeot-Citroen and Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles, Stellantis has 14 brands under its roof, a number that makes it one of the largest groups in the industry. Rumors claimed not every brand would survive, with Chrysler often earmarked to get axed, but the firm said it will give them all a chance to shine. "We're giving each (brand) a chance, giving each a time window of 10 years and giving funding for 10 years to do a core model strategy. The CEOs need to be clear in brand promise, customers, targets, and brand communications," announced Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares during the Financial Times' Future of the Car event. His comments confirm Chrysler fans and dealers don't need to worry about the future — at least not yet. And, against all odds, Lancia enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief, too. Former FCA head Sergio Marchionne warned of the brand's demise on several occasions. Alfa Romeo is safe for now, too, as is Vauxhall, which are basically just Opels sold in the United Kingdom with a different badge. The engagement made by Tavares also means Stellantis won't divest any of its brands to raise capital until at least 2031. It's now up to each executive team to make a case for the brand they run, an unusual survival-of-the-fittest strategy in an era when cutting costs is more common than spending cash. Diving into the vast Stellantis parts bin should help even the most troubled brands turn their fortunes around on a relatively tight budget. It seems likely that survive Chrysler will need to look beyond the 300 and the Pacifica/Voyager, the only models in its range, and completely reinvent its image, which is currently nebulous at best. Lancia, once the champion of luxury, performance, and innovation, faces the same challenge. It's not starting quite from scratch, it's relatively popular in its home country of Italy, but it will need to think globally and expand outside of the city car segment to survive.
