I bought this Scrambler two years ago from the land conservation company that I work for, so i have known this Jeep for over 20 years. It was used as a project supervisor's field vehicle on an average of 2 or 3 days a week. This Jeep originally came with a 4 cylinder. When the Conservancy bought it in 1991 from a local family the engine was upgraded with the factory new in the crate V6 it has today (The engine upgrade occurred at 39K on the odometer, so the overall milage on the chasis/body is 121K). The mechanic who did the installation still works with me today, he has kept all maintenance records since that time. When I bought the Jeep I painted it, removed the carpeting and coated the tub in Rhino liner. I installed the back seat with 3 seat belts, and generally just cleaned it up. I put new 30x9.5 trail diggers on it last fall, so there is still 90% meat on those tires. The Jeep starts every time and runs fantastic. I am offering the jeep for sale because i'm moving/downsizing and loosing my garage space. The Jeep comes with a full Best Top soft top with doors (uninstalled, new in the box), two bikini tops, and two half doors.

All that good stuff said, here are the things that I haven't been able to fix or add: there is a small 3 inch crack in the right front fender by the headlight, it was my intention to replace the stock fenders with stainless aftermarkets. The speedometer needle bounces a little and doesn't hold steady, with that, the fuel gauge doesn't work and I think the sender is stuck in the tank. The dash board controls are needed, heater pull cable, blower control knob, act. see photos. The light pull switch knob is there and works fine.

There is a leak in one of the steering line hoses where they attach to the power steering reservoir so i have had to add steering fluid about every 100 miles. Thats about all i can think of. i never bought new fender flares, but there are several styles out there and the holes are still there for the stock style that i removed when i painted it. There is very little rust, there was some bondo on the right rear fender area that i discovered during painting, seemed minor. The Jeep has a really nice custom box hitch under the custom rear bumper. The spare tire is great, and mounted on the tail gate, so i don't use the gate, never have removed the bolts that hold it in the up position.

Last but not least, I would like to do a cash sale. I do not have a pay pal account. I need good old american dollars at time of pick up. The Jeep will be in Wilmington, CA (Long Beach) so please do your homework if you intend to bid. I would like to complete the sale within 3 days of the auction close. Please contact me with any questions, serious buyers only please!! This is a real deal CJ8, either you know what it is, or you don't! Thanks for your consideration.

Jeep gunning to build 250,000 Cherokees a year

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Contrary to what a certain politician may have said last year about Jeep moving to China, the automaker is in fact doing the opposite, with plans to greatly increase the production capacity at its Toledo North Assembly plant in Ohio. The Detroit Free Press is reporting that there are big plans for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and Toledo North, as a local union president has informed the newspaper that Chrysler is planning to produce around 250,000 examples of the new midsize utility per year.
To put this number into context, 250,000 units is more than what Jeep Liberty sales totaled here over the last three years combined. Even taking into consideration that the 250,000 units will be distributed beyond US borders, that's an ambitious volume figure full-stop - and that's without taking into consideration the new Cherokee's love/hate design. In its favor, though, Jeep is making remarkable inroads globally as of late, and the Cherokee's size could work well in emerging markets. To get that kind of output from Toledo's Cherokee assembly line, Chrysler will reportedly hire 1,105 new workers - that's in addition to the 200 workers already being hired to build the popular Jeep Wrangler, which is itself expected to top 220,000 units this year.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger

Sun, Dec 20 2020

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.
