Selling my 1983 Jeep Scrambler CJ-8 in literally perfect condition. It has been undergoing a frame-off restoration for the last 7 years with the previous owners that I bought it from right down to the nuts and bolts. I bought it from them and finished it in Austin with my company, Vintage Innovations, and Jeep Masters. Everything on this is new or like new. Has everything that you love about these old Scramblers, and none of what you hate. The partition in the front of the bed has been removed in favor of the entire cab being open, which makes it feel like a very long CJ-7. The original gauges were all replaced with an aftermarket gauge cluster to improve accuracy, and the tall hard doors were traded for the more recent TJ doors. The soft top is fantastic, and easily flips back in seconds. She has a 3-inch suspension lift which I think makes it look way better with the length of these, and brand new BF Goodrich 33x12.50's all the way around. There are only 550 miles on this since the restoration was completed, she hasn't even had her first oil change yet.
You will literally need rotator cuff surgery from all the high-5's you'll be getting in this thing. The response to it is a lot of fun, Jeep fans go nuts when they see it. It is, for all intents and purposes, the equivalent of a "new" Jeep, but WAY cooler because its a classic...and less than 1/2 the price of the new Rubicons.
I buy cars as a hobby and sell them, this Jeep has been an awesome project and I am really on the fence about selling it. I have a number that I will let it go for, otherwise I'll just keep it.
The mechanical details: fresh crate 258 straight 6 with 4-barrel carburetor, not even broken in yet. Behind that is a new Jeep 4-speed manual trans. Front manual lock-outs from Warn, front and back bumpers from TKH fabrication. Back bumper holds a full-size spare with matching wheel, and high-lift jack.
Interior is awesome, complete with bucket seats from Black Mountain with matching Black Mountain removable back seat. Front cab has black carpet, rear bed is freshly painted with almost zero scratches (my dog rides in it when I take him to the park, so there may be a small one somewhere). Paint is a 9 out of 10, there are a few very small chips that were a product of the restoration but it looks fantastic. This Jeep is ready to be a daily driver, or a weekend warrior. I have barely even had time to enjoy it after we recently acquired a new tour bus project we just started in the shop, and my office is pretty pissed at me for putting this up for sale (they all love it too).
This is hands down one of the nicest Scramblers out there, and owning it is going to be a LOT of fun for someone. I have bought and sold over 45 cars, this one is one of my favorites. There just isn't that many of these out there, and this one is the cleanest one you will find.
What I would do to this if I kept it:
I would delete the carburetor in favor of the Mopar fuel injection, it would get the horsepower up to 200 pretty consistently. While I wouldn't really wheel this thing hard if someone wanted to I would buy a winch on a receiver hitch to use for the fun spots, both the front and back bumpers have receivers. I am installing a factory Jeep steering wheel back in it and ditching the Grant, I'm not a huge fan of the Grant steering wheels. I had planned on getting a hard top for it as well, and having the back set up for sleeping and camping out of it since I like taking trips out in to national parks, etc all the time. Outside of that, the Jeep is exactly where I wanted it to end up. It will be handed off looking like a new car, she's in moth balls at my warehouse where I store all of my classic vehicles. I am taking her out today for a little tan maintenance before I let her go. :)
Feel free to message me with any specific questions or photo requests, I will try to get as many pics as possible up today to make sure you can see just how nice this is.

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black

As we mentioned, Jeep is bringing a quartet of concepts to the Beijing Motor Show this year. Its largest model, the Grand Cherokee, is nowhere to be found, but its smallest is. That, of course, would be the new Renegade, which has been done up as the Zi You Xia design concept.
Taking its name from the Mandarin word (or words) for "rebel," the Zi You Xia takes its inspiration from the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, with a Warm Chocolate Gray paintjob with contrasting dark bronze trim. The roof, grille and mirror caps are color-keyed to match the rest of the exterior, riding on 20-inch alloys in the same dark bronze finish.
Inside it's all Piano Black, Anodized Copper and brown leather with plaid fabric inserts. Scope it out in the high-res image gallery above and the press release below.

While there's no shortage of excitement surrounding the new Jeep Renegade, one of the limiting factors to the little trucklet will be its price. With the Kia Soul starting at $14,900 and the Nissan Juke kicking off at $18,990, the Renegade can't afford to stray away from that price bracket.
And judging by some potentially leaked pricing info, it won't. A quick Google search of "Jeep Renegade Price" reveals (at least for now) that the Italian-built Jeep will start at $18,595. The "as shown" price of $25,895 seems to indicate the Trailhawk model shown on Jeep's consumer page.
If the $18,595 figure is correct, it's likely for the base, two-wheel-drive Sport model, with the Latitude and Limited trims falling somewhere between there and the $25,895 as-equipped price of the Trailhawk.
