1982 Jeep Cj-8 Scrambler on 2040-cars

Year:1982 Mileage:160000

Location:

Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

Up for sell is my 1982 jeep scrambler cj-8

The jeep runs awesome and drives excellent. It has a 258 straight 6 engine with about 30,000 miles on the rebuild, a T-5 five speed transmission, and a Dana 300 transfer case. The differentials are the stock Dana 30 in front and the model 20 in the rear. It has a 22 gallon gas tank and a tow package. It is equipped with a Weber carburetor, power steering, power brakes, aftermarket traction bars which all aid in the excellent driving of this classic scrambler. I have driven it on longer freeway drives as well as around town and it does great at all speeds. The 4 wheel drive works well and shifts in and out nicely although I haven’t used it much.

The jeep has 160,000 miles on it, and has spent most of its life in the Las Vegas area soaking in the hot sun with little to no exposure to weather and elements. I feel confident in saying that it is rust free and in excellent shape. It should last another 30 plus years with no problem!

In the past 2 years the following things have been done:

Sand blasted the body inside and out

Painted the jeep inside and out, and underneath with 3 coats of black and 3 coats of clear coat

Nutmeg scrambler Laredo decal kit

Painted the frame with a nice satin black

New body mount bushings

New Bf Goodrich 31x10.50x15 All terrain tires (currently have 90% tread)

Stainless steel accessories: Hood kit, windshield brackets, door brackets, front bumper, grill overlay, dash gauge cover, side mirrors, windshield knobs, and inner windshield brackets

Chrome diff covers front and rear

Alternator

Water pump, fan

Radiator

Fuel pump

Spare tire cover

Spice front seats

Driveline u-joints

All oils: engine, tranny, transfer case, front and rear differentials, and antifreeze

With all that being said it is still a used jeep and is not perfect. There are a couple paint dings that accrued when putting the jeep back together but are very minor. The jeep is absolutely awesome!!!! But it was made in the 80’s people and if you keep that in mind you will be very Happy!!! This jeep has about $20,000.00 invested so please only bid if you have all the money, I do not want to wait for financing. I wish I could keep this gem in my collection longer but I am going through a divorce and have to part with it.

Under these circumstances I am selling it as a NO RESERVE auction highest bidder wins and can come drive it home. If that way doesn’t work I have a friend that owns a shipping company and can deliver to your house for a good deal, either way I am more then happy to help make this a good buying experience. Please bid with confidence knowing that this jeep was well maintained and cared for. A scrambler in this condition is very hard to find so Good luck and I hope she finds a good home! Thanks.

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.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.
