1981 CJ8 Scrambler I purchased this Scrambler bone stock over 10 years ago and have been making it into my dream Jeep ever since. I have considered every possible option when having this this Jeep built and really tried to do it right. No short cuts and lots of money invested. After all the time and money I have lost my passion for it though and would like to see it go to someone who can enjoy this one of a kind vehicle. My main objective when I started to build this Jeep was to make it capable of being my daily driver. I also wanted it to be safe for my family to ride in. Lastly, I wanted all of the modifications to look like they could have been factory done or meant to be that way (with the exception of the lift maybe). The following is a detailed list of what has been done. V8 5.7 liter TBI Engine Conversion CALIFORNIA LEGAL *Motor was donated by a 1995 Buick Road Master with approximately 60,000 miles on it. Wiring harness was provided by Painless. All appropriate measures have been taken to register this Jeep in California with this engine conversion. Jeep is completely California smog compliant and has sticker on firewall of engine compartment to prove it. NV4500 Transmission *This was a brand new unit bought directly from GM earlier on in my build. It is a 5 speed tranny with a very low first gear and a overdrive for the freeway. This allows this Jeep to cruise at 75 mph but also be ready for crawling with the very low first gear. Dana 300 *One of the only original untouched parts of this Jeep from the factory. Works great and have not had any issues to this date. Axles Front & Rear *Front is a Dana 45 running 4:54 gearing, Warn locking hubs, and disc brakes *Rear is a custom made Dana 60 running 4:54 gearing as well and disc brakes Lockers *ARB lockers front and rear Roll Cage *Custom built from scratch by metal fabricator and is nothing short of amazing. Cage is tied into frame and extends over entire body to include protection to backseat passengers. Metal tabs to mount top securely we're incorporated in as well as complete seat cages for both front and rear seats. Rock Sliders *Custom built step/rock sliders extend down each side of Jeep. Body *Completely stripped, blocked out, primed, and painted. You will not find a straighter CJ8 body out their. Entire inside of tub was sprayed with Line_x as well as the inside of the fenders. Engine compartment is blacked out while the exterior color is a BMW blue used in the mid 2000's. *Full hard doors that have been shaved and adjusted to fit body and top amazingly. *Fenders were cut away and modified to fit TJ style flares. This was done the right way and front fenders were shaped to fit the flares natural pitch. These look like they were made for a CJ. Full Top *Very rare full top which is secured to the body in the rear a directly to roll cage in the front. Rear Bumper *Body Armor 4x4 rear bumper/tire carrier. This is a really great unit that can hold up to a 37" tire as well as carry two gas cans. This was not just a bolt on. I had the hole rear end of the frame reinforced to allow this bumper to preform and not compromise the integrity of the frame. Fuel Tank *20 gallon Genright Off Road fuel tank with built in skid plate. Seats *Master Craft front seats with lumbar and built-in seat heaters with 5 point harnesses. Heaters on seats still have to be wired into electrical. *Twisted Stitch rear kids suspension seats with 5 point harnesses. These seats are perfect for kids from 4-12. Overview: Spring Over Lift Axels - Front Dana 45 / Rear Dana 60 with ARB lockers on both Warn Hubs on front end 37x12.50x17 BF Goodrich Krawler TA Tires (500 miles max on tires) 17x9 Pro Comp Extreme Wheels Professionally installed 5.7L Throttle Body Injected V8 motor (Donor motor) Magnaflow twin cats (Brand new) and Flowmaster mufflers NV4500 5 Speed Transmission Dana 300 Transfer Case Suspension Off Road Seats with 5 point harnesses Painless Wiring Kit AutoMeter gauges built-in to custom cut dash Radiator custom made to suit motor swap and engine compartment Optima Battery Steering Stabilizer Power Steering Power Brakes New mirrors TJ style mounted to doors TJ fender flares with plenty of cutaway for wheeling Best branded center console mounted to roll cage (room for future stereo head unit). I have a binder with every receipt and piece product information that pertains to this build in it. All CA smog paperwork as well as the information on the vehicle that the CPU has been tuned to is included. Vehicle has recently gone through an extensive checkup and tune up locally in Placerville CA at an off-road specific mechanic shop. This Jeep will end up selling for a fraction of the 40k I have into it.

Jay Leno rides high in Fab Fours Legend

Mon, Mar 23 2015

Jeep showcased some pretty awesome concepts at its Easter Safari in Moab a few days ago, but few if any of them were quite as extreme as what's rolled in to Jay Leno's Garage for this latest video installment. It's called the Legend, and it was made by aftermarket bumper manufacturer Fab Fours to demonstrate its capabilities. It's obviously based on the Jeep Wrangler, but it's riding high on 50-inch tires with a jacked-up monster truck suspension, giant fenders, a chopped-down red-tinted greenhouse and something its creators call a "grumper" that integrates the bumper into the grille. Or vice versa. Though most of the oily bits have carried over from the production model, it's hardly what you'd call "practical," but it's sure to turn a lot of heads... even one as massive as Jay's.

Government Ending Jeep Investigation

Tue, Jan 21 2014

The government is closing its investigation into older-model Jeeps with fuel tanks that could rupture and cause fires. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday it has "no reservations" with Chrysler Group's plans to recall the vehicles. The agency is expected to release a report on its investigation in a few weeks. The decision ends an unusually public struggle between Chrysler and NHTSA. The agency asked Chrysler to recall 2.7 million Jeeps last June, contending that their gas tanks - which are positioned behind the rear axle - were at risk of rupturing and catching fire in rear-end crashes. Involved were Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 1993 to 2004 model years and Liberty SUVs from 2002 to 2007. Chrysler initially refused to recall the vehicles. The company said the rate of fuel leaks and fires after crashes was similar to comparable vehicles that were sold during the time in question. It was the first time in two years that an automaker had refused NHTSA's request for a recall. Chrysler later agreed to recall 1.56 million of the Jeeps and install trailer hitches on them to help protect the gas tanks. The company sent notices to the remaining customers saying their vehicles were fine if they have factory-installed or Chrysler-made trailer hitches. NHTSA said late Friday that it has been in close contact with Chrysler and will monitor the recall as it continues. Chrysler has told customers that it will start installing the hitches soon. "Consumers should have their vehicles serviced promptly once they receive final notification from Chrysler,"NHTSA said in a statement. In its own statement Friday, Chrysler said, "We share NHTSA's commitment to safety." NHTSA's outgoing chief, David Strickland, told The Associated Press in an interview last month that Chrysler had convinced NHTSA that the Jeeps were no more dangerous than similar vehicles sold at that time. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," Strickland said. Friday was Strickland's last day at NHTSA. He is joining Venable, a law firm. NHTSA began investigating the Jeeps at the request of the Center for Auto Safety, a Washington-based advocacy group. "It is tragic that NHTSA approved Chrysler's sham trailer hitch recall for Jeeps that explode in rear impacts," the Center for Auto Safety's director, Clarence Ditlow, said Friday.

Chrysler 3.0L EcoDiesel V6: Autoblog Technology of the Year finalist

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Offering a diesel engine in an American pickup is anything but new - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler all offer excellent and almost impossibly powerful oil-burning engines in their various fullsize trucks. What is new and novel about the 3.0L EcoDiesel, though, is its size, and the variety of vehicles that use it. It's the smallest engine, as far as displacement is concerned, currently offered in a large truck in the US, and, for 2014 and 2015, it is available in the Ram 1500 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Though it may be small, it's got muscle. While 240 horsepower isn't particularly impressive these days, the engine's 420 pound-feet of torque more than makes up for that. The torque rating is even greater force than even the big 5.7-liter Hemi can muster. Chrysler's well-regarded eight-speed automatic transmission makes the most of all that bull-headed pulling power in both the Ram and Grand Cherokee. Chrysler claims the Ram EcoDiesel 1500 can tow as much as 9,200 pounds when properly equipped, which makes it "90-percent of the Hemi with a night and day difference in fuel economy."
Make no mistake; it's that promise of a sizable fuel economy improvement that many long-haul truckers will be most interested in. In the Ram 1500 that we tested for our Tech of the Year competition, the diesel engine costs $2,850 more than the gas-fed V8, and Ram estimates that EcoDiesel buyers will pay off their investment when compared to the Hemi engine in less than three years, which is considerably less time than the 4.5 or so years the average buyer will keep his or her fullsize pickup. The more you drive, the more you'll save, and the math proves equally as effective in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
