I bought this Scrambler two years ago from the land conservation company that I work for, so i have known this Jeep for over 20 years. It was used as a project supervisor's field vehicle on an average of 2 or 3 days a week. This Jeep originally came with a 4 cylinder. When the Conservancy bought it in 1991 from a local family the engine was upgraded with the factory new in the crate V6 it has today (The engine upgrade occurred at 39K on the odometer, so the overall milage on the chasis/body is 121K). The mechanic who did the installation still works with me today, he has kept all maintenance records since that time. When I bought the Jeep I painted it, removed the carpeting and coated the tub in Rhino liner. I installed the back seat with 3 seat belts, and generally just cleaned it up. I put new 30x9.5 trail diggers on it last fall, so there is still 90% meat on those tires. The Jeep starts every time and runs fantastic.  I am offering the jeep for sale because i'm moving/downsizing and loosing my garage space. The Jeep comes with a full Best Top soft top with doors (uninstalled, new in the box), two bikini tops, and two half doors.

All that good stuff said, here are the things that I haven't been able to fix or add:  there is a small 3 inch  crack in the right front fender by the headlight, it was my intention to replace the stock fenders with stainless aftermarkets. The speedometer needle bounces a little and doesn't hold steady, with that, the fuel gauge doesn't work and I think the sender is stuck in the tank. The dash board controls are needed, heater pull cable, blower control knob, act. see photos. The light pull switch knob is there and works fine. 
There is a leak in one of the steering line hoses where they attach to the power steering reservoir so i have had to add steering fluid about every 100 miles. Thats about all i can think of. i never bought new fender flares, but there are several styles out there and the holes are still there for the stock style that i removed when i painted it.  There is very little rust, there was some bondo on the right rear fender area that i discovered during painting, seemed minor. The Jeep has a really nice custom box hitch under the custom rear bumper. The spare tire is great, and mounted on the tail gate, so i don't use the gate, never have removed the bolts that hold it in the up position. 
Last but not least, I would like to do a cash sale. I do not have a pay pal account. I need good old american dollars at time of pick up. The Jeep will be in Wilmington, CA (Long Beach) so please do your homework if you intend to bid.  I would like to complete the sale within 3 days of the auction close. Please contact me with any questions, serious buyers only please!! This is a real deal CJ8, either you know what it is, or you don't! Thanks for your consideration.

Jeep Renegade gets Riptide and Frostbite customs at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

The cute little Jeep Renegade isn't even on sale yet, but here at SEMA, the Mopar folks are giving us a taste of what's possible for the little CUV in the big wide world of customization. Part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' massive SEMA spread, the Renegade shows up in fresh Riptide and and Frostbite guises.
First up, the Riptide arrives in Vibrance Grandeur Blue with black wheels and a big ol' Jeep Performance Parts logo on the rear pillar. There are a few black accents elsewhere on the exterior, and a surfboard carrier rides up on the roof. The blue color scheme also finds its way inside the Renegade, on the instrument cluster and side panels, with contrasting white accents.
By contrast, the Frostbite Renegade reverses the Riptide's color scheme, with white being the main paint of choice, with blue accents abound. And inside, Katzkin seats wear blue upholstery. The Frostbite is a pretty functional creation, as well, with a Mopar ski/snowboard roof rack and a Jeep Performance Parts rock rail guard.

Jeep: Portraits

Jeep looks back on 75 years of four-wheeling. The brand's tough vehicles have carried everything from soldiers to sunbathers. The brand wants you to remember all the highlights, from the beaches of Normandy to the fictional Jurassic Park – one a remarkable accomplishment of human determination in the face of war, the other a really successful movie. Do you think Jeep's spot captures the essence of the brand? Vote it up or down. Marketing/Advertising Jeep Super Bowl Commercials 2016 super bowl ad

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
