For sale is a 1983 Jeep CJ8 Scramber, it was originally purchased from Davenport Motors Inc.  in Elizabeth City North Carolina.  It changed hands in 1987 according to the title, and spent the rest of its life in Bena Virginia. I believe it is mostly original, accept for a new re-manufactured engine that it received in the early 90's.  It has a 258 Inline 6 cylinder engine, T-176 4spd transmission, and a Dana 300 transfer case.  The front axle is a Dana 30 and the rear axle is a Model 20, both wide track.  When I purchased it, I removed the rusted windshield frame, fuel tank and tail gate.  I have a YJ windshield frame to replace the old, and a newer tailgate.  I also replace the fuel tank with a new one along with new fuel lines and recovered the front seats with military canvas.   The rear differential cover has ring gear teeth marks from some type of failure in the past, but it has been repaired.  I have the cover off right now to replace the fluid, and I also have new axle seals.  I have the front diff cover off as well.  I also have a new radiator and shocks that needs to be installed.  With these parts installed, it is a good running, driving jeep. It does have some rust, the rocker panels are the worst of it.  There are rust holes in the passenger floor board corner, and there is rust at the very rear, center of the tub and a 308 caliber exit wound in the passenger kick panel.  I have already sold the top, doors and bulkhead.  This is somewhat of a project, but it is a solid jeep.  The windshield glass will need to be switched from the old to the new windshield, and it will need a set of mirrors.  I sand blasted and painted the wheels, and have a great set of Jeepster hub caps that fit.  Vin# 1CJJM88EXDT021019 Let me know if you have any questions, I will be glad to answer or add pictures.  Jeep is also for sale locally.  Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping cost.  Thank you

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and a Final Four of automakers | Autoblog Podcast #723

Fri, Apr 1 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. We start out with news on the Lotus Eletre and Ferrari Purosangue. These two high-end crossovers are followed by discussions about the new inline-six engines from Stellantis and an overabundance of Hummer EV orders. Next we try something we've never tried before: ranking automaker blue bloods. We took inspiration from the current NCAA tournament, which features Duke, North Carolina, Villanova and Kansas — very much traditional blue-blood basketball programs — to name our Final Four automakers. Let us know if you agree or disagree with our picks and what your definition of a blue blood car brand is. We wrap up with a discussion about the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that Jeremy's been driving all week. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Toledo gets proactive in fight to keep Jeep Wrangler

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Let's make this very plain - the city of Toledo, OH loves its Jeeps. It loves them so fervently that the very rumor of the Jeep Wrangler moving out of its traditional home prompted the city's mayor, D. Michael Collins, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to hold a weekend conference call with Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"The purpose of this call was for the mayor and governor to gain clarity on Mr. Marchionne's comments last week regarding the possibility of the next generation of Jeep Wrangler being built at a location other than the Toledo North Assembly Plant," a spokesman for the mayor's office told The Toledo Blade.
While no further commitments were made by any party, Collins and Kasich's statement was quite unequivocal about keeping Toledo's unwillingness to let the Wrangler go, saying "the city and its partners will again rise to the occasion to ensure that the new Wrangler is made in Toledo." According to the newspaper, the next step is for face-to-face meetings between officials from Ohio and FCA.

Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new

Sun, 09 Jun 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
