Jeep Cj8 Scrambler on 2040-cars
South Pittsburg, Tennessee, United States
|
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's new Chip Away commercial has us hunting Al Pacino's back catalog
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
Centering around the newest Grand Cherokee model, the luxurious $47,995 Summit trim level, the commercial shows off some of the hand-stitched leathers and real metal and wood accents found inside the cabin. Check out the new 60-second spot by scrolling below.
Watch this 9-year-old drive Jeep Wrangler off-road [w/poll]
Wed, 28 May 2014This nine-year-old girl might be better at rock crawling than some people twice her age. But is it worth putting her in danger to do it? According to her father on the Jeep Experience Facebook page, her name is Faith, and she has been offroading with her family since she was two. At nine years old, she's now driving her dad's Jeep over the rocks by herself.
As you can see she's belted in and under her father's direct supervision and guidance. She shows immense confidence for someone her age and follows her dad's instructions on exactly what to do. Although, this could still be a very dangerous situation if something went wrong.
Previously, we saw a similar video with a six-year-old on a motorcycle driving on public roads through the desert. Voters decided by only a six-point margin that the adult should be in trouble for letting the kid ride the bike. Here, we have a slightly older child driving a vehicle off road. Where do you fall in this case? Is it still wrong to hand over control to a child? Let us know in the poll below and scroll down to watch the video.
Jeep Liberty under investigation for door fires
Tue, 29 Oct 2013The Jeep Liberty has already had plenty of attention for possible fires thanks to the first-gen model's fuel tank, but now the midsize Jeep is under the microscope of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for another fire-related concern. NHTSA has opened an investigation for the 2012 Liberty after receiving two reports of electrical fires in the driver's door.
According to the investigation summary, around 80,000 vehicles could potentially be affected by this problem. In both reported fires, the drivers noticed smoke and then flames from the master power window switch, and they had to pull to a stop and exit through the passenger side of the SUV. According to Autoguide, there was one injury to a motorist who suffered burned fingers while trying to open the driver's door.
Interestingly, the Dodge Nitro is not yet involved in this investigation, even though it was still around for the 2012 model year; the Nitro ended production in 2011 about a year before the final Liberty rolled off the line for the 2013 model year. Scroll down for the official NHTSA investigation summary.
