Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

 Up for sell is my 1982 jeep scrambler cj-8  

The jeep runs awesome and drives excellent. It has a 258 straight 6 engine with about 30,000 miles on the rebuild, a T-5 five speed transmission, and a Dana 300 transfer case.  The differentials are the stock Dana 30 in front and the model 20 in the rear. It has a 22 gallon gas tank and a tow package. It is equipped with a Weber carburetor, power steering, power brakes, aftermarket traction bars which all aid in the excellent driving of this classic scrambler. I have driven it on longer freeway drives as well as around town and it does great at all speeds. The 4 wheel drive works well and shifts in and out nicely although I haven’t used it much.

The jeep has  160,000 miles on it, and has spent most of its life in the Las Vegas area soaking in the hot sun with little to no exposure to weather and elements.  I feel confident in saying that it is rust free and in excellent shape. It should last another 30 plus years with no problem!

 In the past 2 years the following things have been done:

 

Sand blasted the body inside and out

Painted the jeep inside and out, and underneath with 3 coats of black and 3 coats of clear coat

Nutmeg scrambler Laredo decal kit

Painted the frame with a nice satin black

New body mount bushings

New Bf Goodrich 31x10.50x15 All terrain tires (currently have 90% tread)

Stainless steel accessories: Hood kit, windshield brackets, door brackets, front bumper, grill overlay, dash gauge cover, side mirrors, windshield knobs, and inner windshield brackets

Chrome diff covers front and rear

Alternator

Water pump, fan

Radiator

Fuel pump

Spare tire cover

Spice front seats

Driveline u-joints

All oils: engine, tranny, transfer case, front and rear differentials, and antifreeze

 

With all that being said it is still a used jeep and is not perfect. There are a couple paint dings that accrued when putting the jeep back together but are very minor.  The jeep is absolutely awesome!!!! But it was made in the 80’s people and if you keep that in mind you will be very Happy!!! This jeep has about  $20,000.00 invested  so please only bid if you have all the money, I do not want to wait for financing.  I wish I could keep this gem in my collection longer but I am going through a divorce and have to part with it.

 Under these circumstances  I am selling it as a NO RESERVE  auction highest bidder wins and can come drive it home. If that way doesn’t work I have a friend that owns a shipping company and can deliver to your house for a good deal, either way I am more then happy to help make this a good buying experience.  Please bid with confidence knowing that this jeep was well maintained and cared for. A scrambler in this condition is very hard to find so Good luck and I hope she finds a good home!  Thanks.

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.

Final Toledo Jeep decision may have nothing to do with city's efforts

Mon, Apr 13 2015

Toledo, OH is doing all that it can to keep production of the Jeep Wrangler in its boundaries, but the biggest issue facing the plant may be insurmountable, no matter how desperately the city wants to keep the Wrangler local. The Wrangler is built in a rather interesting manner at the Toledo Supplier Park: Fiat Chrysler only handles the very final assembly of each vehicle, while two other companies, Kuka, a German firm, and Hyundai-Mobis, a member of the sprawling Hyundai empire, produce the body and chassis, respectively. The vehicles are then transferred over to the FCA part of the park, where they're painted and completed. This was, as The Detroit News explains, a convenient arrangement back in 2006 when the supplier park opened. Chrysler, which was still owned by Daimler at the time, arranged for Kuka and Mobis to handle production, saving it a huge sum of money. Both suppliers own their own machinery and buildings and employ their own workers. Now that FCA is a relatively healthy entity, though, there's not a lot of need to be sharing profits with two other companies. "What [FCA boss Sergio Marchionne] would like is to have the advantages of high-capacity utilization, owning that capacity and taking advantage of that for himself versus having a supplier doing some of the things his competitors do internally," David Cole, chairman emeritus at the Ann Arbor, MI-based Center for Automotive Research, told The News. "It really adds another level of complexity to the situation." While Sergio Marchionne is a man that generally gets what he wants, it seems unlikely that either Mobis or Kuka would give up their role quietly. According to Jon Zapf, Mobis North America's chairperson for UAW Local 12, the company "definitely wants to maintain their part of this production process." According to The News, Jeep is likely to announce the location of next-generation Wrangler production in June. Expect to hear much more on this one in the coming months.

FCA recalling 323,000 cars for wiring, software issues

Mon, Jul 25 2016

The Basics: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is conducting a voluntary recall for an estimated 323,361 cars in the US. The affected vehicles were built after September 23, 2014 and include: the 2015 Chrysler 200, Ram ProMaster City, Jeep Renegade, and 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokees. The Problem: An insufficient crimp in the vehicles' wiring harness may result in a solenoid fault code, which could cause the engine to stop. The loss of power could lead to an accident. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: FCA will update the affected vehicles' software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. According to FCA, owners that experience the problem can temporarily resolve the issue by restarting the vehicle. If you own one: FCA is reaching out to owners to schedule a service. Related Video: Statement: Wire Harness Crimp July 22, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 323,361 vehicles in the U.S. to update certain software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. An examination of warranty data led to an FCA US investigation that discovered an insufficient crimp in a wire harness. Such a crimp may lead to a solenoid fault code that can cause propulsion loss. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Most vehicles in the recall population will not experience this fault code over their lifetimes. However, should the condition occur, it can typically be temporarily resolved by stopping the vehicle and re-starting its engine. Accordingly, FCA US urges customers to heed the instructions on their recall notices. Affected are certain model-year 2015 Chrysler 200 midsize sedans, Ram ProMaster City small vans, Jeep Renegade and Cherokee SUVs. Certain model-year 2014 Cherokees are also affected. A change made in the harness-manufacturing process eliminates the need to recall any vehicle built after Sept. 23, 2014. An estimated 35,511 additional vehicles in Canada are included in the campaign; as are 7,067 in Mexico; and 43,927 outside the NAFTA region. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service.
