1985 Scrambler Cj8 Frame Off Restoration 6 Yrs Ago Professionally Done. on 2040-cars
Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
This Scrambler has had a frame off restoration 6 years ago by the previous owner in Nashville Tennessee. Comes with the original 4.2, 4 speed (new clutch). Has been upgraded to Howell Throttle Body Injection. I recently put an Old Man Emu suspension lift (3.5")and new Goodyear Duratek 31 x 10.50 offroad tires, stainless steel wheel hubs, rear bumper, side bars and KC lights. Has aftermarket air conditioning. Everything on this Jeep works except for the speedometer. I have a new replacement speedometer cable that goes with. Also the spare tire has been re-located to the bed. The original spare tire carrier will go with the Jeep. Aftermarket Alpine stereo with marine grade speakers.The frame was powdercoated gray and now shows a few very light spots of surfacew rust (see pics). I have recently redone the entire under body coating with POR-15 and it looks great. Overall I would rate this Jeep a 9 out of 10. Gets tons of compliments evereywhere I go. The previous owner had several parts replaces on the motor including intake and exhaust manifolds, alternator and several electronic ignition componets. This does not leak any fluid anywhere. The bed, roll bar and interior floor has been coated with line-ex. The steering is tight and this Jeep rides as smooth as a new one. The previous suspension drove like a log wagon and I spent over $1k for the new one. I have described this vehicle as best I can. Clear title in hand. Only reason for selling is to put a down payment on a new house (wife). Ask if you have any questions. Jeep is for sale locally in Indianapolis, IN, so I reserve the right to end this auction early. I will assist with shipping company if that is what you need. Cash or cleared cashiers check only. |

Jeep Liberty replacement takes shape
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Now that the Liberty has left us for greener pastures, it's time to start looking into the future of the midsize Jeep model. The next all-new vehicle for the off-road brand will be the SUV you see here, effectively replacing the Liberty, and not necessarily carrying on with that name.
From the sides, the prototype you see here sort of looks like a miniature version of the handsome Grand Cherokee, albeit with a bit more in the way of body sculpting. Up front, the seven-slat grille will be front and center, with completely revised headlamp designs that are reportedly angular and sweep well into the front fenders (you can sort of see what we're talking about in the side profile). That doesn't sound very Jeep-like, but we'll reserve judgment until we, you know, see the thing.
The bigger question with the Liberty replacement will be whether or not its off-road chops will be up to snuff. After all, the two previous generations of Liberty models were body-on-frame traditional SUVs, whereas this new Jeep rides on a larger version of the Dodge Dart platform.
NHTSA boss Strickland weighs in on Jeep recall fracas
Sat, 15 Jun 2013Adding yet another chapter to the ongoing Jeep recall story, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) head David Strickland has gone on record to defend the government's request that Chrysler recall 2.7 million out-of-production Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty vehicles after the agency investigated fiery rear-end collisions that have reportedly killed at least 51 people over the years. In statements made to The Detroit News, Strickland said, "We felt very strongly that the process that we undertook and the findings that we made and ... we made the decision to issue a recall request. We do not take that very lightly." The top US auto safety regulator stopped short of telling owners to park their cars until the automaker takes action. "They can make their own risk assessment and their own choices," he said.
Chrysler does not intend to recall the models, insisting the "vehicles met and exceeded all applicable requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including FMVSS 301, pertaining to fuel-system integrity" when they were manufactured and sold. "The company does not agree with NHTSA's conclusions and does not intend to recall the vehicles cited in the investigation. The subject vehicles are safe and are not defective," Chrysler announced last week in a statement. "We believe NHTSA's initial conclusions are based on an incomplete analysis of the underlying data, and we are committed to continue working with the agency to resolve this disagreement."
Legally, Chrysler has until June 18 to formally respond to NHTSA's request. If the automaker does not take action, NHTSA is expected to issue a formal finding and seek a recall.
Marchionne: Midsize pickup still not in the cards; Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler could use aluminum
Wed, 07 May 2014During the Fiat-Chrysler briefings on Tuesday, Reid Bigland, head of Ram Trucks, outlined the new product plans for his brand, including confirmation that an all-new light-duty Ram 1500 will launch in 2017. From there, discussions spun off in two directions, with the main questions being: will Ram build a midsize pickup? And, following Ford's move to extensively use aluminum in its new 2015 F-150, will Chrysler be using this weight-saving material for the next round of its fullsize truck, as well?
"I think there is room for a Ram 1000," Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne (pictured above) told members of the media, saying this is a conversation the automaker has been having internally for several years now. "We've tried this ... we've actually taken it to clinics," Marchionne stated, adding that the "response has been lukewarm."
"I have better use of aluminum in this house than a pickup truck." - Sergio Marchionne
