**1983 Jeep Cherokee Chief Restomod | Jegs 383 V8 | NV500 5-Speed Manual**
____
Sadly parting ways with this head-turning 1983 Cherokee Chief restomod. It's got the classic squarebody styling, a great stance, and a JEGS 383 V8 crate motor paired with a new NV500 5-speed manual transmission. Sounds like a beast!
____
The truck has had a number of upgrades and improvements, and I've continued to put time and money into getting things sorted. I love the look and character of this Jeep, but it's time to pass it along to someone who wants to take it to the next level.
____
**Highlights & Equipment:**
- Jegs 383 V8 crate engine, with under 1,000 miles (purchased with approximately 50 miles)
- Engine rated at 340 HP / 435 lb-ft torque per previous owner
- New NV500 5-speed manual transmission
- Griffin aluminum radiator
- Electric remote parking brake
- Power steering
- Power brakes with disc brakes
- 4x4 with new Warn locking hubs*
- BFGoodrich tires with near full tread
- Aftermarket gauges
- Suspension work completed
- Motor mounts redone
- New driver and pass Seatbelts
- New Carhartt dash mat
- Interior door panels replaced
- New headlights and fog lights (wiring for fog lights in place, but not yet installed)

**A Few Things to Know:**
This is a restomod, not a fully sorted, turn-key classic. There are some remaining items that will need attention from the next owner.
____
These include some non-functioning factory dash gauges, *an issue with 4WD High engagement (4WD Low and 2WD work), and a heater blower system that isn't currently functioning as it should. The vehicle does not have AC, but it could be added.
____
The roof rack mounting points were previously allowing some water intrusion (have since replaced gaskets), which has resulted in a slightly sagging headliner. Easy replacement if someone cared to do so. Also, doesn't include a spare. Doing a rear bumper with spare tire mount seemed like a better route in the future.
____
I recently had a local mechanic perform a thorough inspection and address a few items. He felt the Jeep was in decent overall shape, and I have a copy of the pre-inspection report available for interested buyers.
____
**Best suited for someone mechanically inclined who enjoys classic Jeeps and doesn't mind taking on a few remaining projects.**
____
It's a cool, distinctive truck with a lot of the big-ticket upgrades already in place. Looking for someone who appreciates what it is and wants to make it their own.
