For sale is a 1983 Jeep CJ8 Scramber, it was originally purchased from Davenport Motors Inc. in Elizabeth City North Carolina. It changed hands in 1987 according to the title, and spent the rest of its life in Bena Virginia. I believe it is mostly original, accept for a new re-manufactured engine that it received in the early 90's. It has a 258 Inline 6 cylinder engine, T-176 4spd transmission, and a Dana 300 transfer case. The front axle is a Dana 30 and the rear axle is a Model 20, both wide track. When I purchased it, I removed the rusted windshield frame, fuel tank and tail gate. I have a YJ windshield frame to replace the old, and a newer tailgate. I also replace the fuel tank with a new one along with new fuel lines and recovered the front seats with military canvas. The rear differential cover has ring gear teeth marks from some type of failure in the past, but it has been repaired. I have the cover off right now to replace the fluid, and I also have new axle seals. I have the front diff cover off as well. I also have a new radiator and shocks that needs to be installed. With these parts installed, it is a good running, driving jeep. It does have some rust, the rocker panels are the worst of it. There are rust holes in the passenger floor board corner, and there is rust at the very rear, center of the tub and a 308 caliber exit wound in the passenger kick panel. I have already sold the top, doors and bulkhead. This is somewhat of a project, but it is a solid jeep. The windshield glass will need to be switched from the old to the new windshield, and it will need a set of mirrors. I sand blasted and painted the wheels, and have a great set of Jeepster hub caps that fit. Vin# 1CJJM88EXDT021019 Let me know if you have any questions, I will be glad to answer or add pictures. Jeep is also for sale locally. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping cost. Thank you

FCA delays Grand Wagoneer and next-generation heavy-duty Ram trucks
Mon, Dec 12 2016The upcoming Jeep Grand Wagoneer has had a tumultuous gestation thus far. At one point it was essentially confirmed, but later it was rumored to have been cancelled. In that context, the latest report from Automotive News is something of a mixed blessing. According to the publication, the Grand Wagoneer has simply been delayed, as has the next-generation Ram heavy duty truck line. This does not seem to affect the fully redesigned Ram 1500, which was previously reported to have been pushed back slightly to 2019. Automotive News says the information came from unnamed sources at the company. Nothing was said about how long the vehicles would be delayed. The publication also conjectures that FCA is delaying the models to save some money to help cover the company's $7 billion of debt , since re-tooling both the heavy-duty truck plant and eventual Grand Wagoneer plant will be expensive. View 6 Photos We reached out to Chrysler for more information on the subject, but the company wouldn't comment on the report. Even so, we wouldn't be too surprised if FCA is indeed delaying these products. The company has delayed a number of vehicles in recent years. In fact nearly every major FCA truck and SUV, including the Grand Wagoneer and Ram line, were delayed about a year and a half ago. We certainly hope the company doesn't delay the Grand Wagoneer for too long, since it's possible it will have a price tag of over $130,000. The profit margins on an SUV with that kind of MSRP would go a long way to helping to pay down the company's debt. Related Video:
Chrysler adding 200 jobs at Ohio Jeep Wrangler plant
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Chrysler is betting that the Jeep Wrangler will continue its strong sales surge as it continues to push the legendary brand out across the globe. The Auburn Hills automaker is reportedly adding 200 workers at the Toledo, Ohio plant that builds the Wrangler. What's more, those new hires will be at their posts quickly - they'll be on the job by April 1. Of those 200 workers, 130 employees will be there to relieve those who need breaks.
Why do they need so many relief workers? The Toledo Jeep Complex is currently working at a torrid pace with two ten-hour shifts. A third shift has been ruled out for the moment because of a production botttleneck - the plant's paint shop is already maxed out. According to Reuters, Wrangler production in 2012 cleared 200,000 units, and US sales were up by 16 percent.
Another part of the Toledo plant is presently down as Chrysler retools the line to build Jeep's divisively styled Liberty replacement, the Cherokee (seen in our gallery below). Production for the new model is scheduled to begin toward the end of May.
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.
