Hello, 

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.

    NHTSA investigating 2015 Jeep Cherokee after new owner's total-loss fire [w/video]

    Fri, Jan 16 2015

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2015 model year Jeep Cherokee after a single example caught on fire in California. This investigation will decide the cause, scope and frequency of this possible problem and will decide whether a recall is necessary for 50,415 potentially affected examples. According to Automotive News, the Cherokee's owner only purchased the CUV about two days before the fire, and it had been driven less than 100 miles. The new buyer reported parking the Jeep, and noticed a smell like smoke. Shortly after, the vehicle was consumed in flames. There were no injuries, but much of the incident was captured on video. NHTSA is also trying to decide whether another report is related. In this case, a driver noticed smoke under the hood of a 2015 Cherokee with just 45 miles on it, while driving at 60 miles per hour. According to the complaint to the agency, "the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired," but FCA was notified. Read below NHTSA's announcement of the Preliminary Evaluation.

    Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
    I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
    Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
