This is a 1982 Jeep Scrambler, original 6 cylinder, manual transmission. I bought this Scrambler last summer with plans to restore it. I had a friend look at it for me as I was out of state. He is a commercial truck mechanic and gave it a thorough review. I have not actually seen it in person as I now live in Maryland. I sent it to a Jeep shop in Michigan to get an estimate for the work I wanted to have done because being in Maryland now without a proper garage or tools makes it impossible for me to do any of the work. The Jeep is running pretty well according to the guys at the shop but does have a slight leak in the rear axle. I was going to switch out the axles to one-piece anyway and they said it's not an urgent fix. The floors are rusted and it is the original paint. There are a few exterior spots of surface rust and the typical Jeep rust on the tub. The bulkhead is supposedly fine and the frame is great according to the guys at the shop/ I planned to do the body work myself but now would have to pay to have it done and that's expensive. This is a good restoration Scrambler. Needs body work and windshield. I am selling because shipping it will cost me close to $1K and I will have to spend an extra $2-3K minimally to have someone else do the work. If you can do body work yourself or buy a new tub and swap it out them this is a nice opportunity as the frame is good, it is mechanically good, and it's got all the parts (minus the windshield).
I am out of town and just woke up and decided to list it so I will add the actual VIN when I get home and look at the title. The one I put up temporarily is from another Scrambler. I was also edit to the actual odometer reading. The previous owner told me that he bought it in Alabama, shipped it to Michigan and it sat in his garage for a few years. Again, I have not actually seen this Jeep in person but trust the opinions of my friend and the guys at the Jeep specialty shop where it currently sits. Here's a video of the Jeep that will be helpful to understanding it's condition as described above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omycEo1SqF0

Blake Anderson drives an over-the-top patriotic Jeep
Thu, Jan 15 2015Comedian Blake Anderson is seeing growing success as one of the stars and co-creators of the Comedy Central show Workaholics. Not surprisingly, when you get your own TV show, there's a deep desire to celebrate with a big purchase, a car perhaps. Anderson did just that, but as opposed to plunking his money down on a Porsche or Mercedes-Benz, he took a much more patriotic route. Anderson described his ride as "an American Jeep" in an interview with Conan O'Brien, and he didn't mean that it was from the AMC years of the off-road brand's ownership. Instead, this one is as patriotic as they come thanks to a beautifully regal bald eagle covering the hood with the nation's flag as the background running up at least to the windshield. Hear Anderson's entire story of buying this red, white and blue off-roader in the video above.
2014 Jeep Cherokee musters 22 MPG city, 31 highway
Thu, 05 Sep 2013Production and media drive delays included, there has been no lack of press surrounding the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. With the most recent delay reportedly due to powertrain calibrations, we've been waiting to see how the Cherokee's fuel economy looks against the highly competitive compact CUV segment. Thanks to the EPA, we now know the fuel economy figures for the newest member of the Jeep family.
Arguably, the Cherokee has the most modern powertrain in its class with an updated base engine, all-new V6 and all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, but its fuel economy figures are simply on par for the segment. Still nothing to scoff at, though. According to fueleconomy.gov, front-wheel-drive Cherokee models with the base four-cylinder mill will top out the lineup with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway; opting for four-wheel drive with this engine drops the figures to 21 city and 28 highway. Get even crazier with the option list, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 will get you 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive form or 19 city and 27 highway for 4WD.
If you're wondering how that stacks up among compact CUVs, head on over to Automobile Magazine for a full fuel economy breakdown for the segment. The controversially styled crossover hits dealers this month, and we'll be driving it in just a couple of weeks.
Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March
Thu, 17 Jul 2014
You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.
