For sale by auction, 1981 CJ7 Laredo that runs and drives. CJ has a straight six 258 motor, bikini top, 3-speed automatic transmission and three inch lift. 
I have replaced the: 
- air filter
- oil filter 
- transmission filter
- crown pinion oil seal on rear differential
- floor headlight dimmer switch
- front headlights
- tail light bulbs
- windshield wipers
- bikini top
I have purchased, but not installed:
- Front and back seat covers
- Brake light switch
Jeep has a bikini top only, aftermarket front seats, original back seat (has rips), inner floor tub has been sprayed with undercoating. Automatic shifter has been moved from the tree to the floor. Heater switch works, windshield wipers work, fuel gauge works. 
Body has some dents, rust and scratches and the paint is faded, but I like the original patina, and it still says "Laredo" on the hood. Speedometer does not work and no radio. Winch is not wired to the battery, but I have the cords to connect it. The radiator cooling line for the transmission does not circulate, so the trans fluid is cooled through the transmission vent line circulating through the level indicator. This is a quick fix that works well, but you can easily blow some compressed air through the radiator cooling line and free any blockage. Mileage reads 89,110, but I'm sure it has stopped counting. The title says exempt on the mileage, since the vehicle is older than ten years.
Overall, this is a great little CJ that I drive around town on weekends and tinker with at night. It starts, it drives, it's fun. I'm going to be sad to see it go, but it must.
All sales are final and Jeep is sold as is. Thanks and good luck!

Jeep first American carmaker to return to Tokyo show

Sat, May 23 2015

Despite foreign-brand car sales in Japan declining six percent in the first four months of this year, Jeep sales are up 21 percent in the same period. That could explain why Jeep will be the first the US manufacturer to return to the Tokyo Motor Show after eight years away. Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler walked away during the global crisis that struck after the 2007 show. Jeep will be part of an eight-vehicle, four-brand showcase overseen by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Japan, the local subsidiary. For the moment, it is the only US brand to sign up - neither Ford, GM, or even Chrysler are committed to attend. Stablemates Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Abarth will be there, along with 13 other foreign makes, answering the "Technology & Fantasy" theme for this year's event. In total, organizers announced 15 brands from 14 Japanese manufacturers, and 27 brands from 17 foreign carmakers. The show opens to the public from Oct. 30 to Nov. 8. Related Video:

Here's why you shouldn't try to drift a Jeep Cherokee

Tue, Nov 25 2014

This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. There are many reasons why an XJ-generation (or really any other) Jeep Cherokee doesn't make for a good drift machine. It's tall, it's four-wheel-drive... it's a Jeep, okay? But someone apparently forgot to tell that to this guy. Uploaded to LiveLeak, this video shows some poor schmuck who took his Cherokee to a (mostly) empty parking lot and tried to drift it. Needless to say, things didn't go quite as he planned, but they probably went exactly as you might have expected. Thankfully, nobody appears to have been hurt. Or at least, we assume so, since the guy apparently survived to put the video up online.

NHTSA investigating 2015 Jeep Cherokee after new owner's total-loss fire [w/video]

Fri, Jan 16 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2015 model year Jeep Cherokee after a single example caught on fire in California. This investigation will decide the cause, scope and frequency of this possible problem and will decide whether a recall is necessary for 50,415 potentially affected examples. According to Automotive News, the Cherokee's owner only purchased the CUV about two days before the fire, and it had been driven less than 100 miles. The new buyer reported parking the Jeep, and noticed a smell like smoke. Shortly after, the vehicle was consumed in flames. There were no injuries, but much of the incident was captured on video. NHTSA is also trying to decide whether another report is related. In this case, a driver noticed smoke under the hood of a 2015 Cherokee with just 45 miles on it, while driving at 60 miles per hour. According to the complaint to the agency, "the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired," but FCA was notified. Read below NHTSA's announcement of the Preliminary Evaluation. CBS News 8 - San Diego, CA News Station - KFMB Channel 8 INVESTIGATION Subject : Engine compartment fire Date Investigation Opened: JAN 13, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15003 Component(s): ENGINE Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) JEEP CHEROKEE 2015 Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received one complaint (VOQ) of engine compartment fire in model year (MY) 2015 Jeep Cherokee vehicles alleging a severe engine compartment fire incident resulting in a total vehicle loss (VOQ # 10672201).
