1979 Jeep Cj7 Renegade Sport Utility 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Rubicon, Wisconsin, United States
OK, so it started life as a 79 CJ7... and the hood and grille are still there. The rest of the body is fiberglass. Kwik Wire wiring harness. Frame is from the same Deuce that the Rockwell axles came from. Custom 4-link front and rear with rebuildable joints - arms are 2" round bar stock, drilled and tapped. Wheelbase stretch forward 13" and rear 3" to clear the massive tires. Custom hydraulic steering. Front and rear pinion brakes. 52" Michelins wrapped around Deuce 20" Wheels (centers cut out and flipped). Runs on LP. Chevy 350 from a 70 Impala (Milodon 8 quart oil pan) Mallory distributor backed up by SM465 Muncie 4 speed and an NP205 transfer case. Customer HD driveshafts. Custom rollcage with Toyota Supra front seats and 5-point harnesses.
Truck is 93" wide and tracks dead straight. I built it to be bulletproof and it is. This truck is not street legal (although it does have a clear Wisconsin title). To be Wisconsin street legal, the headlights need to be lowered 12" (plow lights would do it), pinion brakes would need to be replaced with wheel brakes w/ an emergency brake, bumpers within 30" of the ground would need fabbing and a speedo would need to be added. If it doesn't sell, I will end up making those mods, just because I can and there's a few officers that would go nuts as I drove it into town. Feel free to ask questions, but only if you are truly interested in the truck - I don't have time to help you design your truck, but if you buy mine I'll be glad to give you all the info I have. This truck has been a labor of love, but I no longer have enough days in the year to enjoy it like I used to. It has been very good to me, but I just can't justify having it as a yard ornament 360 days per year. Over $10,000 invested and hundreds of hours. If you have ever built something like this, axles minimum $1,200, Suspension joints and links $1,800, Tires $800, Wheels $500... Easily spend $10 just to start with. Screaming deal for a well built truck. Mud truck, Monster, rockcrawler |

Jeep adds top-level, $35,690 Cherokee Overland trim [UPDATE]
Thu, Jan 14 2016UPDATE: We initially received incorrect pricing information. FCA says the Cherokee Overland will cost $35,690, including $995 for destination. If you want a more luxurious Jeep, you buy a Grand Cherokee Overland or Summit. But if the idea of dropping $45,000 to $51,000 gives you pause, you'll welcome the news that FCA's off-road brand will introduce a luxury-oriented version of its smaller, more affordable Cherokee. The new Cherokee Overland incorporates a number of cosmetic changes. All of the black plastic body elements have been replaced with body-colored items, improving the overall aesthetic. Jeep fitted handsome, polished 18-inch wheels along with chrome trim on the upper and lower grilles, and the halogen headlights have been swapped with standard bi-xenon units. Previously, the HID headlights were only available as part of an $1,845 Luxury Pack on the Cherokee Limited. In the cabin, the biggest change is found on the seats, where Nappa leather comes standard along with heating and ventilation functions. The steering wheel gets Zebrano wood trim, and instrument panel is wrapped in leather. Beyond that, the Overland is unsurprisingly well-equipped, with an Alpine Premium Audio system, FCA's excellent 8.4-inch UConnect system with navigation, and blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert. The three big optional extras include the Cherokee's 3.2-liter V6, the Jeep Active Drive II all-wheel-drive system, and the Technology Group (auto high beams, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking, park assist, adaptive cruise, front and rear park assist with rear stop, and automatic windshield wipers). Owners will also be able to snag a sunroof and a couple of smaller items, like a wireless charging pad. Prices for the Cherokee Overland start at $35,690 (including destination) with sales to begin this spring. Read on for the official announcement from Jeep. Jeep® Expands Cherokee Lineup with Premium Overland Model • New 2016 Jeep® Cherokee Overland debuts at New England International Auto Show • More premium Jeep Cherokee model boasts an unmatched combination of luxury and capability in the mid-size SUV segment • Cherokee Overland delivers sophisticated styling, a well-appointed interior, a long list of premium standard features, and legendary Jeep capability • New premium Cherokee Overland available in Jeep showrooms this spring • Jeep Cherokee sales increased 23 percent in 2015 BOSTON, Jan.

Jeep's 75th Anniversary Wrangler Salute rolls down the line
Fri, Jul 15 2016UPDATE: The commemorative 75th Anniversary Jeep Wrangler rolled down the assembly line in Toledo, Ohio today. With its roll bar, doors, and rear seat removed, it really does pay fitting tribute to the classic Willy military models of the past. The 419 area code stenciled on the bumper and date on the hood look period appropriate. Well done, Jeep. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly when the Jeep Wrangler was born, but the automaker claims the legendary off-roader as we know it today was officially created in 1941. On July 15th of that year, the US Government awarded Willys-Overland with a contract to build the Willys MB, which quickly got the nickname "jeep". To commemorate its 75th anniversary, Jeep has created a WWII-themed Wrangler that pays homage to the Willys MB. The gorgeous concept most likely won't see the road, which is a shame as the rugged one-off yanks at the heartstrings of truck enthusiasts and historians alike. Based on of the current Wrangler Sport, the olive-drab Wrangler 75th Salute concept imitates the original Willys MB to the tee. The concept has no B-pillars, no doors, no roll bars and honors the "function over form" styling of the original military vehicle. The concept rides on 16-inch steel wheels that are wrapped in 32-inch non-directional tires and features vintage-looking hood latches, steel front and rear bumpers with tow hooks, and low back canvas seats. The Salute concept will be built on the same assembly line in Toledo, OH that has produced the Wrangler for decades. In addition to putting out an image of the concept, Jeep also touched on the rich history of the original Willys MB, which you can read below. Related Video: In July 1940, the U.S. military informed automakers that it was looking for a "light reconnaissance vehicle" to replace the Army's motorcycle and modified Ford Model-T vehicles. The Army invited 135 manufacturers to bid on production and developed a lengthy specification list for the vehicle, including a 600-lb. load capacity, wheelbase less than 75 inches, height less than 36 inches, smooth-running engine from 3 to 50 miles per hour, rectangular-shaped body, four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case, fold-down windshield, three bucket seats, blackout and driving lights and a gross vehicle weight below 1,300 lbs.
