1985 Scrambler Cj8 Frame Off Restoration 6 Yrs Ago Professionally Done. on 2040-cars
Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
|
This Scrambler has had a frame off restoration 6 years ago by the previous owner in Nashville Tennessee. Comes with the original 4.2, 4 speed (new clutch). Has been upgraded to Howell Throttle Body Injection. I recently put an Old Man Emu suspension lift (3.5")and new Goodyear Duratek 31 x 10.50 offroad tires, stainless steel wheel hubs, rear bumper, side bars and KC lights. Has aftermarket air conditioning. Everything on this Jeep works except for the speedometer. I have a new replacement speedometer cable that goes with. Also the spare tire has been re-located to the bed. The original spare tire carrier will go with the Jeep. Aftermarket Alpine stereo with marine grade speakers.The frame was powdercoated gray and now shows a few very light spots of surfacew rust (see pics). I have recently redone the entire under body coating with POR-15 and it looks great. Overall I would rate this Jeep a 9 out of 10. Gets tons of compliments evereywhere I go. The previous owner had several parts replaces on the motor including intake and exhaust manifolds, alternator and several electronic ignition componets. This does not leak any fluid anywhere. The bed, roll bar and interior floor has been coated with line-ex. The steering is tight and this Jeep rides as smooth as a new one. The previous suspension drove like a log wagon and I spent over $1k for the new one. I have described this vehicle as best I can. Clear title in hand. Only reason for selling is to put a down payment on a new house (wife). Ask if you have any questions. Jeep is for sale locally in Indianapolis, IN, so I reserve the right to end this auction early. I will assist with shipping company if that is what you need. Cash or cleared cashiers check only. |

2020 Land Rover Defender vs. 2020 Jeep Wrangler: How they compare on paper
Tue, Sep 10 2019For ages, the Jeep Wrangler has had the serious off-road SUV market in America all to itself, especially when it comes to two-door variants. But competition is coming, and the first on its way is the 2020 Land Rover Defender, which was just revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Each packages retro looks and impressive off-road capability, but does one have an advantage? We decided to take a look into each SUV's specifications and compare them on their engines, drivetrains, interior space and towing among other things, to see how they stack up. Since both SUVs are offered in two-door and four-door versions, we've made sure to feature both versions. You can find all the vital stats in the chart below, followed by more in-depth analysis. Engines and drivetrains The Land Rover is the clear high-performance option of these two SUVs. Its base turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, offered only in the four-door Defender 110, is more powerful than either of the gas engines offered on the Jeep Wrangler. The Wrangler's four-cylinder matches it on torque, at least. The optional turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six in the Defender makes over 100 more horsepower and pound-feet of torque than either Jeep gas engine. But if you're looking for diesel propulsion, along with its associated torque and fuel economy, the Wrangler will be your only option. Final specs haven't been released, but in the Ram 1500, the same engine makes 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy hasn't been announced for the Land Rover or the diesel Wrangler. But if fuel economy is a concern, the four-cylinder Wrangler is the most frugal of the SUVs we have numbers on. As for transmissions, the Wrangler is your only choice if you have to have a manual. It's available on both the two-door and four-door models, but only with the V6 engine. If you don't mind an automatic transmission, both SUVs come with variations on the ZF eight-speed auto. Getting the power to the wheels is another area where these two SUVs diverge. The Jeep is very traditional with a standard selectable four-wheel-drive system with two-wheel drive, and low- and high-range four-wheel drive modes. On the Sahara, there's an available full-time four-wheel drive mode, but the other modes are still available. On the Land Rover, you get full-time four-wheel drive, the same kind used on the Land Rover Range Rover.
Jeep Wrangler by Vilner takes extreme luxury off-road
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Vilner turned its customary and intensely luxurious attentions to a two-door Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited back in 2012, following that up this year with its take on the four-door version. A coat of lustrous black paint outside is brightened up LED headlights, foglights and taillights and layers of chrome laid on the grille, mirrors, door handles and fuel filler cap.
Stance gets an injection of brawn from the 20-inch wheels, and they'll roll faster thanks to the power upgrade from 197 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque in the 2.8-liter diesel to 257 hp and 412 lb-ft.
Inside is furious red, with cross-stitched crimson leather and Alcantara demanding your focus. When you can look away from that, you'll find the raw metal parts painted black and again ornamented in minor applications of chrome. Feel free to feast on it in the high-res gallery above.
Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA
Tue, 08 Oct 2013The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
