Jeep Wrangler Cj7 Cj8 Scrambler Lifted Monster V8 Off Road Beast Huge Texas on 2040-cars
Mansfield, Texas, United States
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, |

Texan finds creative way to clear highway fast lane
Tue, Jun 14 2016Few things are as infuriating as someone driving slow in the fast lane. A Jeep driver from Texas found himself in just such a predicament near Fort Worth, and came up with a creative way to urge the offending lane-blocker to get a move on. Machine, a YouTuber and off-road enthusiast from the Lone Star State, posted some dashcam footage to his account back in March which showed him stuck behind a slow driver. He was attempting to pass a slow-moving bobtail Peterbilt tractor when he got hung up by a white Ford Econoline squatting in the passing lane. On his YouTube page, Machine stated that the van, which apparently belonged to a plumbing company, was traveling along between 60 and 70 miles per hour along a stretch of highway with a stated speed limit of 70 mph. Confronted with the slow-moving van blocking the left lane, and traffic in the right lane, Machine called the number on the back of the Econoline and politely asked him to get out of the way. In the Econoline, the passenger picked up and was momentarily confused as Machine asked him to ask his driver to move out of the lane and let traffic pass. The van sped up, passed a tractor-trailer, and got out of the way, much to the relief of the traffic behind him. According to CBS news, 38 states have laws on the books to punish slow drivers squatting in the passing lane. In five of those states, the fine is upwards of $1000, and 22 states classify it as a misdemeanor.

Hybrid and Electric Jeeps, Fiats, and Alfa Romeos to be built in Poland
Sun, Jan 3 2021WARSAW - Fiat Chrysler will invest more than $200 million in its plant in Tychy in Poland, where new hybrid and electric Jeep, Fiat and Alfa Romeo models will be built, Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Gowin said on Tuesday. The investment comes as a boost to emerging Europe's largest economy, which is hoping a switch to electric vehicles can help its auto sector catch up with regional rivals including the Czech Republic and Slovakia. "Modern, hybrid and electric cars of the Jeep, Fiat and Alfa Romeo brands will start to leave the factory in Tychy in 2022," Gowin wrote on Twitter. Gowin said there could be further investment in the plant in future but gave no details. Fiat Chrysler, which is planning a $38 billion merger with French rival PSA to create the world's No.4 carmaker, said in a statement that early preparations for the expansion and modernization of the plant started in late 2020. The plant in Poland's industrial southern region of Silesia is one of the company's largest and currently employs around 2,500 people. Fiat Chrysler confirmed that new hybrid and electric Jeep, Fiat and Alfa Romeo models would be built in Tychy. It said the aim was to start mass production of the first of the three new passenger car models for the group's brands in the second half of 2022. Under a 2018-2022 plan, FCA pledged to invest 9 billion euros in electrification as part of investment plans totaling 45 billion euros.

Toledo mayor, Jeep champion Michael Collins dies from heart attack
Mon, Feb 9 2015The city of Toledo is mourning the loss of its mayor and the campaign to keep production of the Jeep Wrangler in the Ohio city has lost a champion after Michael Collins suffered a heart attack behind the wheel recently. Born, raised and educated in Toledo, Collins was a Marine Corps veteran and a city councilor. He was elected mayor in 2013 and assumed office on January 2, 2014, a little over a year ago. He was driving an SUV provided by the city in a snow storm on February 1 of this year when he suffered a heart attack and crashed into a utility pole. He remained in critical condition for days until he was taken off artificial life-support. During his relatively short term in office, Collins became an outspoken and energetic advocate of keeping the Jeep plant in Toledo, where it has been assembled for decades. The next-generation Wrangler is set to switch to aluminum construction, which could lead to moving its production to another location, but Collins (alongside Governor John Kasich and others) had worked hard to convince FCA US to keep it in town. Whether his efforts will prove successful remains to be seen, but our hearts go out to his friends, family and constituents. Michael is survived by his wife Sandy, three daughters and eight grandchildren. He was 70 years old.
