1984 Jeep Cj 8 Scrambler 2 Owner Very Original Barn Find on 2040-cars

US $6,800.00
Year:1984 Mileage:131582
Location:

1984 CJ 8 Scrambler in very good condition for a mostly original 30 year old Jeep. Has been painted once approx. 12 years ago but other than that only minor replacement parts have been changed. Drive train has never been opened up except for normal oil changes and such. 258 6 cylinder runs good after it warms up. Shifts smoothly and 4 wheel drive works as it should with no strange noises. Minimal rust on body as seen in photos. This 2 owner CJ 8 has been a Louisiana Jeep it's entire life and the frame and underside show it. IT IS NOT RUST FREE but it is in very good condition as compared to mosts Jeeps this age.

Parts I can see that have been changed are: shocks, front sway bar links, radio, muffler and tail pipe, tires etc.

This Jeep would be an outstanding candidate for restoration to original condition because it is all there and has never been gutted like most CJ's you see. I bought this Jeep to lift, put on big tires and make a mud buggy/rock crawler out of but it is too complete/original for that. Someone needs to buy it for an excellent restoration project.

Mopar is heading to the SEMA show in Las Vegas with a fleet of customized vehicles that appeal to enthusiasts of all stripes. There's a Dodge Viper ACR concept that follows in the lineage of the supercar's great road racing past, and a custom Ram ProMaster that might just be the ultimate outdoor party machine.
We got an inside look at Mopar's cars that will be on display at the show, which also include a Dodge Challenger T/A concept, two crazy Jeeps and a Ram 2500 Outdoorsman that could change the way you camp. While these are some of our favorites, Mopar is bringing plenty to SEMA, so let us know your top choices in the comments section.

NHTSA upgrading Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango headliner fire probe

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into headliner fires experienced by a small number of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners has been upgraded to an engineering analysis, the step before the initiation of a recall. In August last year the investigation began with 146,000 Grand Cherokees from 2012 after three complaints were received, but a report on Edmunds says it has been expanded to include 593,299 vehicles covering the 2011-2013 model years for the Jeep and the Dodge Durango, which uses the same headliner assembly, because of possibly 52 incidents of fire.
In some of those incidents drivers have reported a burning odor, smoke or open flames that were contained to the headliner or migrated to another area of the passenger compartment. The culprit has apparently been found: NHTSA blaming an electrical short in the sun visor vanity light wiring, which is routed under the headliner and held in place by three screws. Chrysler began its own probe into the issue when it was first reported and is still looking into the situation while, "fully supporting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation."

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Jeep appears to have nailed it this time. After two decades of assembling its Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle, the American automaker has finally delivered a world-class off-roader capable of taking on everything in its segment - and more - with a high likelihood of coming out on top.
And if you drove last year's model, it's time to climb behind the wheel again as Jeep has significantly updated the SUV for 2014 with a bold new exterior appearance, an upgraded interior with enhanced electronics and a new transmission that completely transforms the way it drives.
We recently spent a full week with a dark blue 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4, a well-optioned model fitted with the standard gasoline-fed V6. While it didn't have the punch of the range-topping V8-powered SRT8, or the fuel-sipping economy of its new EcoDiesel sibling, the high-volume variant left us quite impressed.
