Up for sale is a CJ8 that I purchased in 1999. It came the from the Forestry Service in South Dakota. It started life as Sherwood Green and they shot it with the Forestry green before it went out the door. It had a 4 banger with a 4 speed. If your into CJ's you know that the 4cyl was a GM 151. Which was a piece of crap for a motor. So there was no reason to save it or the transmission which was SR5. Now to what I've done. The motor was replaced with a 350 sbc with TBI. The trans is a TH350 with a 205 transfer case. The axles are stock. I have a set Moser axles for the rear but never changed them because I just used it to run around town. The jeep has bedliner shot in the bed and inside the tub about 6" high. The entire drive train may have a 1000 miles on it. As I said this is a base unit. I have changed the column to a tilt. I have installed the clock, tach, grab bar and chrome grill out of a Laredo. The seats are out of a 4th gen Camaro. I had them recovered in black cloth. Their ten times better than that after market junk. It has power steering and power brakes now which it didn't have when I got it. It also didn't have a padded dash which was a little hard to find. Because the 81 Scrambler was the only year without wing vents so the dash in order to be right has no indentions for the vents. There are no patch panels on this. Did you hear me. There are no patch panels on this jeep. That is one of the first things that caught my eye when I bought it. If you look close at the pictures you can see the spot welds in the body. I did not flares on the back wheel wells because I didn't want to drill new holes in the body. The paint is about 4yrs old. The jeep has never been in the rain and has always been garaged. The tires have about 5/16 tread on them. They were put on to setup the suspension and they work just fine for what I do. Now to the things that don't work. The tach doesn't work because it is an original 6 cyl tach. The clock is also original and they were not that when new. The reason I didn't put after market units in is because the faces are different and the reverse paint is different. I put them in purely for looks. And the doors do not lock. They never have in all the time I've owned it. (1999) I don't think the Forestry worried about. I never worried about it because everybody knew it was mine and left it alone. That's small town Tennessee. Other than those items that's it. The reason for selling this is because I also have a cj6. It was going to go to Colorado. But I changed my mind and it's staying here. The Scrambler lost the coin toss. Plus I can beat the snot out of the cj6 and not worry about getting a scratch on it. Like I do the Scrambler. If there is anything I have forgotten, I'll try to add it later. Or feel free to ask questions. I built this from pretty much nothing, so there's nothing I don't know about it. As far as your wife driving it or your daughter fine. But if they are like my wife, who perks up at the slightest noise. No. Buy them a Honda. Think about it, if it wasn't for electric starters half the people on Harleys wouldn't be on them. This is a damn nice Jeep. Could other things be done to it? Sure. I never saw a jeep I COULDN'T DO SOMETHING TO But if your looking for a nice mall crawler. This is a great ride.....Thanks for your time. The last picture is of the cj6 I'm keeping. Just in case you were thinking I was giving you a line of B.S.

Jeep Wrangler rides into SEMA on new Mopar performance axles

Tue, Oct 30 2018

Mopar is unveiling Jeep Performance Parts axles as the latest off-road accessory to the Jeep Wrangler, which itself won the "4x4/ SUV of the Year" honors at SEMA for the ninth consecutive year. The show opens Tuesday and continues through Friday at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Mopar teamed with longtime partner and auto supplier Dana to develop the axles, which are co-branded under the name JPP Ultimate Dana 44 AdvanTEK. They're installed on a Nacho Wrangler concept at Mopar's 15,345-square-foot display. The high-strength axles are built in the U.S. and feature gear technology that reduces gear set packaging, with added strength and overall rigidity for the trail. The high-clearance carrier design adds an extra half-inch of ground clearance, with an expanded range of gear ratios (4.56, 4.88, 5.13 and 5.38) to accommodate for more tire sizes. Chromoly axle shafts, thicker quarter-inch steel bracket mounts, 9.5-millimeter tubes and upgraded U-joints also add durability, while a nodular iron differential cover adds rugged looks, and its ribbing adds strength and rigidity. The direct bolt-in assembly allows for use of OEM components and includes electronic differential lockers already installed. The axles will be available for purchase starting next month.

Jeep Wrangler likely to get aluminum body, will stay in Toledo

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

Perhaps more than any other vehicle currently for sale in the United States, the Jeep Wrangler is viewed by purist fans as a vehicle that simply must maintain the status quo. In this case, that means a body-on-frame design, solid axles, a relatively large engine sitting up front and a removable top. It's always been that way, and it always will be.
Maybe.
According to the most recent reports, the next-generation Jeep will continue to soldier forth with a full steel chassis underneath its stamped bodywork. The biggest change, reports Automotive News, will be that said panels will be hewn from aluminum instead of steel, a seismic shift of a transition not unlike what's happened with the new Ford F-150. Because it won't be a unibody, the SUV will likely continue to be assembled in Toledo, OH as it (almost) always has been - the latter has been a source of heartburn in recent weeks for the Northwestern city in the Buckeye State.
