This is a 1982 Jeep Scrambler, original 6 cylinder, manual transmission. I bought this Scrambler last summer with plans to restore it. I had a friend look at it for me as I was out of state. He is a commercial truck mechanic and gave it a thorough review. I have not actually seen it in person as I now live in Maryland. I sent it to a Jeep shop in Michigan to get an estimate for the work I wanted to have done because being in Maryland now without a proper garage or tools makes it impossible for me to do any of the work. The Jeep is running pretty well according to the guys at the shop but does have a slight leak in the rear axle. I was going to switch out the axles to one-piece anyway and they said it's not an urgent fix. The floors are rusted and it is the original paint. There are a few exterior spots of surface rust and the typical Jeep rust on the tub. The bulkhead is supposedly fine and the frame is great according to the guys at the shop/ I planned to do the body work myself but now would have to pay to have it done and that's expensive. This is a good restoration Scrambler. Needs body work and windshield. I am selling because shipping it will cost me close to $1K and I will have to spend an extra $2-3K minimally to have someone else do the work. If you can do body work yourself or buy a new tub and swap it out them this is a nice opportunity as the frame is good, it is mechanically good, and it's got all the parts (minus the windshield).
I am out of town and just woke up and decided to list it so I will add the actual VIN when I get home and look at the title. The one I put up temporarily is from another Scrambler. I was also edit to the actual odometer reading. The previous owner told me that he bought it in Alabama, shipped it to Michigan and it sat in his garage for a few years. Again, I have not actually seen this Jeep in person but trust the opinions of my friend and the guys at the Jeep specialty shop where it currently sits. Here's a video of the Jeep that will be helpful to understanding it's condition as described above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omycEo1SqF0

Weekly Recap: Hackers demonstrate auto industry's vulnerability
Sat, Jul 25 2015There's always been a certain risk associated with driving, and this week cyber security came into focus as the latest danger zone when researchers demonstrated how easily they could hack into a 2014 Jeep Cherokee from across the country. The incident raised concerns over the vulnerability of today's cars, many of which double as smartphones and hot spots. During the now-infamous experiment, Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller infiltrated the Jeep's cellular connection and were able to control the infotainment system, brakes, and other functions. The hackers told the Jeep's maker, FCA US, of their findings last year, the company devised a software fix. Though Valesek and Miller hacked a Cherokee (like the one shown above), several FCA products, including recent versions of the Ram, Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, and Viper were also affected, illustrating potentially wide exposure that could reverberate across the sector. "For the auto industry, this is a very important event and shows that cyber-security protection is needed even sooner than previously planned," Egil Juliussen, senior analyst and research director for IHS Automotive, wrote in a research note. "Five years ago, the auto industry did not consider cyber security as a near-term problem. This view has changed." Hours after the Cherokee hacking incident was publicized on Tuesday, Sens. Ed Markey (D-Mass) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) introduced legislation to direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Trade Commission to establish national standards for automotive cyber security. The bill also would require vehicles to have a cyber-rating system to alert consumers how well their cars' privacy and security are defended. "Drivers shouldn't have to choose between being connected and being protected," Markey said in a statement. "We need clear rules of the road that protect cars from hackers and American families from data trackers." Though FCA and its Jeep Cherokee were in the spotlight this time, they were just the latest to showcase how automotive technology has advanced faster than safety and regulatory measures. IHS forecasts 82.5 million cars will be connected to the internet by 2022, which is more than three times today's level. "Cyber-security will become a major challenge for the auto industry and solutions are long overdue," Juliussen said.
Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver is a more rugged Trailhawk
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We briefly mentioned the Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver that was heading to SEMA last week when discussing the Mopar lineup set to be shown in Las Vegas. At the time, though, we weren't able to dive too deeply into details. But with SEMA in full swing, we were able to sneak over and grab some snaps of one of the first modified Cherokees we've seen. The Cherokee is, after all, kind of an unknown quantity in the modification department, being so new and featuring such a polarizing design. We were quite interested to see what Mopar could come up with.
Starting with the Trailhawk 4x4 and its 3.2-liter V6, the engine is fitted with a Mopar cold-air intake and a new exhaust, although it's not clear what sort of power boost has resulted. We'll admit, we were hoping Jeep and Mopar would get a bit more aggressive with the Cherokee's suspension (has anyone thrown a few-inch lift on the new Jeep yet?), but there's no mention of upgrades beyond the knobby, off-road tires. Those should do some good when the going gets rough, while rock rails are there to protect the Auburn Pearl paint on the body.
Speaking of that paint, it's complemented by an interesting graphics package in contrasting black and Crush Orange. The cabin sports Katzkin Amaretto leather seats, along with tech-friendly items like a wireless charging system for cellphones and wireless internet.
Jeep Cherokee appears in Chrysler's second Super Bowl spot
Mon, 03 Feb 2014The second of three spots produced by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles for this year's Super Bowl featured the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Aired during the game's half time show, the minute-long ad didn't strike as anything new or innovative from an automaker with a reputation for above average Super Bowl spots, but it did show the controversially styled Cherokee in the best light possible.
