Austin, Texas, United States

Selling my 1983 Jeep Scrambler CJ-8 in literally perfect condition. It has been undergoing a frame-off restoration for the last 7 years with the previous owners that I bought it from right down to the nuts and bolts. I bought it from them and finished it in Austin with my company, Vintage Innovations, and Jeep Masters. Everything on this is new or like new. Has everything that you love about these old Scramblers, and none of what you hate. The partition in the front of the bed has been removed in favor of the entire cab being open, which makes it feel like a very long CJ-7. The original gauges were all replaced with an aftermarket gauge cluster to improve accuracy, and the tall hard doors were traded for the more recent TJ doors. The soft top is fantastic, and easily flips back in seconds. She has a 3-inch suspension lift which I think makes it look way better with the length of these, and brand new BF Goodrich 33x12.50's all the way around. There are only 550 miles on this since the restoration was completed, she hasn't even had her first oil change yet.
You will literally need rotator cuff surgery from all the high-5's you'll be getting in this thing. The response to it is a lot of fun, Jeep fans go nuts when they see it. It is, for all intents and purposes, the equivalent of a "new" Jeep, but WAY cooler because its a classic...and less than 1/2 the price of the new Rubicons.
I buy cars as a hobby and sell them, this Jeep has been an awesome project and I am really on the fence about selling it. I have a number that I will let it go for, otherwise I'll just keep it.
The mechanical details: fresh crate 258 straight 6 with 4-barrel carburetor, not even broken in yet. Behind that is a new Jeep 4-speed manual trans. Front manual lock-outs from Warn, front and back bumpers from TKH fabrication. Back bumper holds a full-size spare with matching wheel, and high-lift jack.
Interior is awesome, complete with bucket seats from Black Mountain with matching Black Mountain removable back seat. Front cab has black carpet, rear bed is freshly painted with almost zero scratches (my dog rides in it when I take him to the park, so there may be a small one somewhere). Paint is a 9 out of 10, there are a few very small chips that were a product of the restoration but it looks fantastic. This Jeep is ready to be a daily driver, or a weekend warrior. I have barely even had time to enjoy it after we recently acquired a new tour bus project we just started in the shop, and my office is pretty pissed at me for putting this up for sale (they all love it too).
This is hands down one of the nicest Scramblers out there, and owning it is going to be a LOT of fun for someone. I have bought and sold over 45 cars, this one is one of my favorites. There just isn't that many of these out there, and this one is the cleanest one you will find.
What I would do to this if I kept it:
I would delete the carburetor in favor of the Mopar fuel injection, it would get the horsepower up to 200 pretty consistently. While I wouldn't really wheel this thing hard if someone wanted to I would buy a winch on a receiver hitch to use for the fun spots, both the front and back bumpers have receivers. I am installing a factory Jeep steering wheel back in it and ditching the Grant, I'm not a huge fan of the Grant steering wheels. I had planned on getting a hard top for it as well, and having the back set up for sleeping and camping out of it since I like taking trips out in to national parks, etc all the time. Outside of that, the Jeep is exactly where I wanted it to end up. It will be handed off looking like a new car, she's in moth balls at my warehouse where I store all of my classic vehicles. I am taking her out today for a little tan maintenance before I let her go. :)

Feel free to message me with any specific questions or photo requests, I will try to get as many pics as possible up today to make sure you can see just how nice this is.

Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Some background: one of the more scandalous international incidents of he-said/he-said from 2012 was when Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld put the Jeep Grand Cherokee through its "moose (or elk) test" and reported that the SUV nearly rolled over. That lead to a whole lot of accusations and rebuttals: more than one website and Chrysler's own blog reported that the Jeep was overloaded; Chrysler said Teknikens printed the magazine then let Chrysler respond, Teknikens answered all of the charges in a lengthy post and said Chrysler was given a chance to comment before it went to print; when Chrysler sent investigators to oversee the test and the Jeep didn't go up on two wheels as it did in the first test, furthermore all four wheels stayed on the ground when Auto Motor und Sport tested a Grand Cherokee in the same way.
Teknikens then re-ran the test with a new vehicle and said it's been doing this test since the 1970s, uses the loading information that Chrysler provides to the Swedish motor authority and the previous Grand Cherokee passed with no problem. In the second test, the Jeep failed again, then it gave Chrysler engineers access to the car's electronics and ran the test again. In that second round the Grand Cherokee didn't repeat the lurid two-wheel action, but in eleven runs it blew out front left tire seven times. Chrysler still objects to the results of all of those tests and maintains that vehicle was safe.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee was given its shot at the gauntlet in the latest round of moose tests, and Teknikens Varld reports that it passed without any problem at all, its stability control working perfectly, controlling motion at low speeds and all the way up to 44.1 miles per hour. You can watch the video of the new test and read the press release from the magazine on the updated Grand Cherokee below.

2014 Jeep Cherokee gets official in a hurry

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Automakers work very, very hard to keep their new vehicles under wraps until they can present them in exactly the way they want it - typically choreographed under the bright lights of an auto show, or perhaps with photos or video in an idyllic location. Spy shooters and leaks, in other words, keep executives and public-relations types up at night.
This is likely to be one of the most polarizing designs to come out in 2014.
Take today, for instance, when the team over at Jalopnik got a big scoop - the first undisguised shots of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, a model whose name wasn't even officially confirmed yet. The clandestine images taken inside of a factory were blurry and didn't exactly show off the crossover's radical new contours in the same sort of flattering light that Jeep probably would've wished for its product reveal. So the Auburn Hills automaker has wisely reacted by spilling at least some of the beans on the new model, giving us these four photos and confirming the Liberty replacement's name, Cherokee.

Jeep Wrangler Mojo and Cherokee Dakar teased ahead of Moab Easter Safari

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Jeep has an annual tradition of debuting wild, new concepts during its Easter Jeep Safari, and this year looks to be no different. The automaker has already confirmed two of the six vehicles for 2014 - the Cherokee Dakar (pictured above) and Wrangler Mojo. This year's event runs in Moab, Utah, from April 12-20.
There are no official details about either of the concepts yet - Jeep will release more info on the new models next week. Judging by the pictures, though, the Cherokee Dakar appears to be lifted with some knobby off-road tires. The Wrangler Mojo looks to have a bulging hood that might hide a more powerful engine underneath.
Past vehicles at the Easter Jeep Safari have included a Hemi V8-powered Wrangler, a classically inspired pickup and modernized Jeep Forward Control. Since this is the brand's chance to express itself every year, hopefully it has some more sensational concepts up its sleeve. Scroll down to read the little information that has been revealed about this year's models so far.
