1976 Jeep Cj7 Cj-7 - Frame Off Resto-mod on 2040-cars
Goose Creek, South Carolina, United States
Great classic Jeep for on or off road. Equipped to go anywhere you point it. 1976 was the first year of the CJ-7 and this one has been torn down and re-assembled about 4 years ago with new or refurbished parts. The engine, transmission and transfer case remain factory with some upgrades. The frame and body are rust free and are in excellent shape. This jeep has been driven a good bit since then so there is a few oil leaks, but nothing major. I don't have an accurate mileage, but likely less than 1000 miles per year. There are so many upgrades that I have done, I will probably miss some. Engine - 258 (4.2L) I-6 with Motocraft 2100 2bbl carb and HEI ignition Transmission -- T-18A 4-speed manual with very desirable 6.32:1 granny gear Transfer Case -- Dana 20 Rear Axle -- AMC 20 with Front Axle -- Dana 30 with Lock Right locker & 3.54 gears Steering: New steering gear box, with M.O.R.E. HD steering box mount and brace, HD tie rod & draglink (1 ton ends) flipped to the top of the steering knuckles for clearance, and dropped pitman arm to correct steering geometry. This Jeep does not wander on the road even without steering stabilizers. Suspension -- Springs are 6" YJ springs from Rough Country with custom front long travel shocks. One leaf from each spring pack was removed to lower the Jeep some since the Jeep was higher than desired, but can be reinstalled easily. Wheels/Tires -- The wheels are 15x8 factory Jeep CJ 8-spoke wheels wrapped in 35x12.50R15 BFG Mud Terrain KM tires. The spare is the same, but All-Terrain tire mounted to a heavily reinforced factory spare tire carrier. Body -- Body was stripped and repaired of any rust (rust was minor since the Jeep was originally a Texas Jeep) and sprayed OD Green on the outside and a DIY Dupli Color Bed Armor liner applied to the interior. The roll bar is a "family cage" from a 95 Wrangler and an OR-Fab front cage was welded in to protect the front. The fenders were trimmed to fit factory TJ flares to clear the tires at full compression. The front fenders were trimmed additionally to create the "flat fender" look on the front. The front and rear bumpers are custom fabricated and are extremely heavy duty. The front bumper has provisions for a drum style winch. Smittybilt rock sliders were added for side protection Interior -- Front seats are Smittybilt seats. Driver side seat has damage from me getting in and out, but is repairable. The rear seat is a factory fixed back seat. The rear seat has shoulder harness seat belts due to the "family cage" but the front is only lap belts but has provisions for shoulder harnesses. The dash is a custom fiberglass dash that I designed and fabricated and contains all appropriate gauges along with a Marine radio and speakers. Everything works and there are no lingering issues that need to be addressed. On Mar-18-14 at 07:32:08 PDT, seller added the following information: Great classic Jeep for on or off road.

Edit: 3/18 Forgot to mention a few things about the Jeep. The only "issue" with the Jeep is that the release bearing for the clutch is starting to squeak when the clutch is released in neutral. Otherwise, there are no issues preventing it from being driven. Another item I forgot to clarify is that the Jeep does have power steering, but not power brakes. Don't let that fool you though. The front brakes are disc and the rear are the large 1" drums. With the stainless steel brake hoses, it is a very firm pedal and it may take a little more foot pressure, but it will stop on a dime if needed. This Jeep is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Buyer is responsible for any and all applicable shipping charges and or any taxes that are required.

2018 Jeep Wrangler to get 8-speed auto
Mon, Nov 24 2014Remember when the Jeep Wrangler had a three-speed automatic? That wasn't that long ago – as recent as the 2007 redesign – but Chrysler is keen to leave those days behind on the dusty trail. The current model ushered in a four-speed, then a five-speed, but the latest intel indicates that an eight-speed automatic is in the cards. According to a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and cited by Automotive News, Jeep plans on fitting its eight-speed automatic transmission to the next-generation Wrangler. Chrysler already uses the ZF-sourced slushbox on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ram 1500, Chrysler 300, and versions of the Dodge Challenger, Charger and Durango. But according to the SEC filing, the Auburn Hills automaker intends "to use this transmission in all of our rear-wheel-drive vehicles, except for heavy-duty versions of the Ram pick-up truck and the SRT Viper." AN says that Chrysler wanted to slot the transmission straight into the current Wrangler, but it wouldn't fit. Between the transmission and shift to aluminum construction, the next-generation Wrangler promises to deliver a significant reduction in fuel consumption. In correspondence with Autoblog, however, company spokesmen declined to comment on the eight-speed's suitability towards either the current Wrangler or the upcoming one.
Dirt Every Day tries to find the best 4x4 for under $4k
Mon, 25 Aug 2014If you want to build a cheap truck that can still do dirty deeds off the beaten path, it's best to start with solid axles and a solid V8 engine. That sums up the lessons learned after watching the 2014 Cheap Truck Challenge from the Dirt Every Day video crew, who took to the deserts and surrounding areas near Reno, NV, in an attempt to find the best 4x4 for under $4,000. Fortunately for us, the whole sordid journey was captured on video.
This isn't the first time the boys from DED filmed a Cheap Truck Challenge, and this year's festivities pitted together a 1993 Chevy S10 pickup, a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 1975 International truck in a series of challenges ranging from donuts to drag races, with plenty of hill-climbing and rock-crawling action in between. We don't want to spoil all the fun, but suffice it to say one competitor was found to be lacking while the other two performed (mostly) well. See for yourself in the video above.
