I'm selling my 1983 Jeep CJ8 scrambler. If you know anything about jeeps you know the scramblers are rare and highly desirable. I hate to sell it but we have another baby on the way so its time to let it go. There is no way I will get all the money I've put in it back out of it but that's how these project go. Let me say first I will NOT trade unless it's for a 2012-14 Honda odyssey minivan with less than 30k miles on it with power doors and leather seats. I thought I would keep the jeep forever but selling it is the right thing to do so I have to let it go. We have put over 20k in this jeep over the years and that's not even including the original purchase price of the jeep or all the labor. Before I dumped all my time and money into it was already very clean. I looked at a bunch of scramblers before I bought this one. It wasn't rusted out or rotted the floors; inerfenders and whole tub was in great shape and very solid. When I had it painted they removed the little rust that was there and we replaced both front fenders with steel replacements and put on a new windshield frame. I spend 6k on the paint and body work alone it was done the right way so this jeep will look great for years to come. Here are the details on the jeep: I put in a huge AMC 360 5.9 liter motor with a hot cam in it. It has tons of torque and runs great! It starts up every time on the first crank and idles smooth. It has a 4 speed Borg-Warner T18 heavy duty transmission and Dana Spicer Model 300 Transfer Case. The foundation of the restoration was a brand new "Throttle Down Kustoms" Steel Frame so it has zero rust! -- Google it they are a great frame! When we Got the new frame we replaced all the body mounts, bushings and a ton of other parts. It has a Dana 44 front axle with warn hubs from a Jeep Waggoner. A Dana 60 from a 1ton Dodge with a locker in the rear. Both axles were shortened to fit under the jeep and matching widths. The axles have matching 4.56 gears in both with all fresh parts and one piece chromoly axles with 5x5.5 bolt pattern. Along with WARN hubs. It also has fresh breaks all the way around. It has 37 inch Goodyear Mud Terrains tires that have less than 5000 miles with matching spare on 15" steel wheels. It has a 4.5 in Rubicon express springs over axle lift. It has a brand new best top full soft top. It has a full custom roll cage. Its 2 separate pieces that bolt in so if you want the truck look its easy to take out. Rhino lined the interior and put in best top thermal seats. Up graded headlights along with Procom spots on the front bumper. Ruged Ridge ABS 6in Fender flares Off road Rampage TJ bumper with smittybilt conversion brackets. Poison Spider rockers Poison Spider rear bumper and tire swing. I have 2 sets of hard doors. One set is in perfect shape and one set is a little rough I was going to make half doors. It will come with both. This Jeep is a BEAST on or off road. It will crawl over anything you point it at but will also cruise around town all day. That being said it is a highly modified 30 year old jeep so know what your getting into. I would say this jeep is 85% from being perfect but all the big stuff is done. If your looking for a good looking fun jeep that your not scared to tinker with or maybe a good father son jeep this would be perfect. I have a clean blue Texas title in my name. CJ7, Wrangler, Monster, lifted, Offroad, off road, Hummer, Unimog, Mechanic Special, sell for more. cj, cj5, cj6, willis, willy, williys, yj, tj, jk, |

2014 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Tue, 10 Dec 2013The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:
2014 North American Car of the Year:
Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
Federal investigations about safety of rear-mounted gas tanks is nothing new
Sun, 09 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler are currently making waves in our daily news feeds due to a disagreement over the safety of a few million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models. Specifically, NHTSA has asked Chrysler to recall the SUVs because of the location of their fuel tanks, but you may be interested to know that requests such as this are nothing new.
Besides the two Jeep models, NHTSA has launched investigations over the years in such models as the Ford Crown Victoria (and its police-car counterpart), GM pickups built between 1972 and 1987, and rather famously the Ford Pinto.
Understanding how automakers and NHTSA have dealt with fuel-tank-safety concerns in the past may offer a better understanding of how Chrysler and the government agency will settle their current dispute. Check out the complete article from The Detroit News here.
