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. |

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay
Sat, 23 Mar 2013A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.
Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily
Wed, 19 Nov 2014In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
