Jeep Cj Scrambler on 2040-cars
De Ruyter, New York, United States
Lifted 83' Jeep Scrambler with tons of modifications, not a show car by a long shot, but stands out in any crowd and gets a lot of looks wherever I take it. I bought this Jeep a few years back with the understanding that there had been some rust in the front floor boards that had been repaired, that the carburetor needed some work, and that the front end needed an alignment. Needless to say there was quite a bit more work needed and I've spent the last two years working through them as well as making improvements when possible. I'd like to carry this Jeep to full overhaul, but last fall my wife and I started a build-your-own-human kit and I don't think I can manage those two projects at the same time. Upgrades that were done by previous owners:Original CJ engine swapped out for an 88 YJ 258 Inline 6 -I have no idea why this motor was swapped in or of the actual milage of it.Brake booster/Master cylinder from a full size chevy truck installed. -It makes stopping in this Jeep no problem, even with the big tires.5" body lift -Was done poorly and the body mounts and bushings have suffered for it. I have a complete set of Polyurethane bushings and a stainless steel hardware set but haven't had a chance to install them. This will drop the Jeep down a couple of inches and improve the ride quality and these components will never wear out again.Sunpro Mini Tachometer - I moved it from on top of the steering wheel into the dashYJ Windshield frame installed -The metal in the YJ frame is thicker, and swapping it in helps solve an issue with the windshield wiper arms bending and failing.Twin-stick kit for Dana 300 Transfer case -Allows High and Low ranges to be applied to one set of axles at a time, which can help out when four-wheeling in tight spaces.

2013 AEV Brute Double Cab
Fri, 11 Jan 2013These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.

2014 Jeep Cherokee: June 2014
Wed, 09 Jul 2014I got a text message from Editor-In-Chief Sharon Carty one afternoon proclaiming that her new favorite SUV is our long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee. And she's not alone. I'm not sure if anyone else on staff would go so far as to use the "favorite" descriptor, but after just over a month of honeymooning with our new long-termer, it's safe to say that the Jeep is quickly finding its way into the good graces of a number of Autoblog staffers.
There's good reason for all that praise, too. Thus far, the Jeep has proven itself to be incredibly competent and comfortable for daily life - it's functional, quiet, and packed with a host of amenities that make it easy to live with. It's been wholly trouble-free (with less than 4,000 miles on the clock as of this writing, it ought to be), but even nitpicks have been few and far between.
eBay Find of the Day: Jeep Comanche Zombie Response Unit
Sat, 02 Feb 2013We've seen some pretty fantastic apocalypse vehicles in our day. We've even owned one or two, but this particular Jeep Comanche tugs at our heart strings in all the right ways. Let's start with the basics: there's a stout 4.0-liter engine underhood hooked to a five-speed manual transmission, and while we wish this truck was four-wheel drive, the two-inch lift and oversize tires should help you overcome obstacles with enough momentum.
Details like handy shovels, Jerry cans and a brush guard inspired by the hardware on a CUCV help lend the truck a no-nonsense appeal, and the functional CB whip antenna means you can ask for backup when the undead hordes come your way. If you like what you see as much as we do, you can head over to eBay Motors to place a bid. The auction has inched up to $4,000 with just two days left on the clock.
